Looks like the belt treatment my dad gave to me and my brother. Every day I'm thankful that my dad cared enough about us to discipline us.

It appears he hit ya in the head too many times.

I'm an optimist.

No, your a phony, one who tried to make this look like some kind of CA issue, where the step dad, in your twisted rationalization, was somehow displaying normal behavior.

Ya got your teet caught in the ringer here, Mr. Kangaroo.

I appreciate your concern for the state of California. It's a big state and sometimes it gets unfair condemnation and stereotype because of the few nuts among the big population. But I didn't post the name of the state just as a special dig on California. If I had thought it would have contributed to unfair labeling of the state I would not have put the state name on the title. On that point, I'm truly sorry and will be more careful in the future.

On the other hand, on the merits of the case I will not apologize for what I think is right.

And no, my dad never hit me in the head. The world would be a better place had we more fathers who cared enough to toil hard for their kids, who could discipline their sons and teach them right from wrong while still letting them know they were loved. The world is cursed much more from absentee dads and irresponsible baby makers than from men like Mr. Sanchez who at least care enough for a kid to be around.
