@DurtySanches,
WOW Durty
Thanks for the ego boost..... usually when I see something anecdotal I am getting heck for my posts and/or opinions....
I am not new to the U.S. but took forever in getting my citizenship. Do you know the people who attended my Swearing In (which was held in my home so I was allowed to invite friends and family) - many of them had never heard the Oath actually sworn by an individual, except those who had served in the military.
It came pretty close to tears for everyone there - and the Immigration Official said many people who are already citizens are as moved as the immigrant being sworn.
I'm really not that bright or knowledgeable about politics here but have been doing my homework - which is a tough chore when it comes to California politics... pretty much all over the place in affiliations.
Forums like this have helped me learn - they are a great source of opinions and debate.
Might even be our last refuge for totally free speech.
