Please let's not get into politics here
Friends, unless something is way out of line, I, as your humble moderator, have no issues with a mention here and there that is of a political nature. Nothing in Awe's - or anyone else's posts - is of a nature that I would define as offensive. At last check, we live in a democracy and as far as I am concerned, "freedom of speech" is fine with me, so long as we're within reason (ie: not promoting nazis or hate rhetoric).

And on a political note, those of you not from San Diego, may not be aware that Donna Frye, wife of Skip Frye, is running for Mayor of San Diego...so we might, after a verrrry long time, have a mayor who gives a crap about the environment, beaches, the condition of our oceans, etc. Very exciting stuff if we can pull it off from the other two dolts running! Fingers crossed
