Why are we still there?
IT'S TIME TO RE-EVALUATE OUR INVOLVEMENT
Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?
We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?
Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?
Their government is unstable, and they have sporadic leadership. Why are we still there?
Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?
The place is subject to natural disasters, from which we are supposed to bail them out. Why are we still there?
There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why are we still there?
Their folkways, foods, and fads are unfathomable to ordinary people. Why are we still there?
We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?
They are billions of dollars in debt, and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we cannot afford. Why are we still there?
It is becoming clear...
WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA

OK I sent this to someone (a Californian, and a raging liberal at that)
and he would like you to justify...
"They are billions of dollars in debt, and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we cannot afford. Why are we still there?"
that statement.

that statement.Well, California is billions of dollars in debt, no question. In fact, we made matters worse last year when we gave the Governator the ability to raise long term bonds to pay off short term debt without requiring any tax increases to cover the debt. And California is suffering from the same sort of infrastructure degradation that the rest of the nation is suffering, so you can make that argument as well, although it's more of a stretch.

Who is that?Left fielder for the San Francisco Giants, and current active home run leader--676 last time I checked, and on pace to pass Babe Ruth this year for second place all time. Best baseball player of the last 20 years far and away.
