Yeah well, that's San Francisco for you. While I hate to dis my home town, They do like to make things difficult and argue about every little thing just to argue. It makes them feel important. It doesn't matter what the issue. there is a strong heritage of activism there (in most of CA as well) and there are some who want to be lauded in the hallowed halls of activism along with Ceasar Chavez (Migrant worker's rights). Activists are treated like royalty there and some are so desperate for it that they don't care who they hurt or whose rights are trampled as long as their rights and preferences are put first and they are sainted in the annals of activism and louded by Hollywood stars and invited to ipmortant functions for being a public star spangled martyr. Sorry guys, but that really hit a sore spot with me. That's why I don't live in California anymore. I admit that I get homesick for the place and family that loves me, but it's so darn overregulated it's rediculous and unlivable in that sense.
Sorry kids from California, it's not your fault it's just the heritage. There are some activists that are doing much good and I honor them. It's just that I've run into too many hypocrites while living there. There are many who want to do great good, but there are many more just trying to ride their glory train. It's really very sad. Now the people involved with first, for example, THOSE are not hypocrites.
