  Rebecca, don't worry about the rude comments Brooke made. She seems bitter and angry for no reason, and doesn't seem to understand the Patch environment. I think responding and debating is thought-provoking, actually. Don't sweat it. Keep doing what you're doing :)

  Great article! Very insightful. There should be stricter laws on digital piracy. Specially when its stolen for monetary gains.

  James Von Brunn you have used threats against the writer in your comments. I am reporting you to the authorities as you seem likely to be the next person who would take a gun and shoot people. You don't seem stable as you are using such profanity as a demented teen would and don't have the maturity to communicate or debate like a mature adult.

  @James by deadly weapons I am indicating rocket launchers and machine guns. so you are saying its okay for civilians to have access to rocket launchers and machine guns? automatic can kill 20 people in one second if that deranged person had a hammer less people would have died or harmed. I am not SAYING COMPLETE BAN I am saying no access to deadly weapons such as rocket launchers and machine guns.

  Good article Rebecca. I agree something needs to be done. No one is saying to Ban guns totally but to have more stricter laws. Mental health reform is also much needed. There should be many levels of approvals and background checks before a gun should be sold and also what type of guns are sold. Recently on the "Gun by back program" held in CA, the cops came across two shoulder rocket launchers which were given back!! Why should civilians need access to shoulder rocket launchers and semi automatic or machine guns of any kind?????? This stuff should not be SOLD. . No easy access to deadly weapons!

  That is a good point about the Swastika. It is an ancient Hindu Symbol and also used in many eastern religions. It’s considered very sacred and has been used over 5000 yrs. Being from India myself I know how sacred it is and it’s associated with the good. It later was associated with Nazi Germany after WWII in the western world. If there was a float depicting a Hindu tradition or ancient Hindu gods like Ganesha I would expect a red Hindu swastika as it’s considered auspicious (it has 4 dots in-between) as part of the decoration on the float. If someone displays a black swastika turned at a 45 degree angle with a white circle behind it with a red background, yes that would be offensive as that is associated with the Nazi Germany. It’s the intent behind it and what it symbolizes and where and how it’s displayed. One cannot just generalize and say they never can be used.

  Very well written Rebecca! I agree with you that's a good point. The intent behind is what's important.

  Wow! Amazing article! I am definitely opting out of Klout! Thanks so much for bringing this to everyone's attention. Social media is defintely getting out of hand and is causing a lot of damage. I can't believe that Klout is allowed to do this! Personal life should not be linked to professional life.

  Wonderful article Rebecca! I find it very annoying even when ads tweek the spellings to sound cute like cool would be kool. I am not an expert but still would not like to see my grammar intelligence get dumber when I see top brand make mistakes as such! Thank you for retaining the value and throwing light on the importance of correct grammar in life.

  I totally agree with you Rebecca! Well said! See this article.

  "The film "A Day Without a Mexican" was made in 2004. No Mexicans -- or Colombians or Argentines or Guatemalans or Panamanians, for that matter -- have mysteriously disappeared from our country. In the long run, a day without Mexicans would deal a devastating blow not just to California, but to the U.S. economy. It is time to cease the mantras that enforce the idea that illegal immigrants are nothing more than leeches to our society, and embrace the realities of what these people actually contribute to our economy: a financial fountain we would be foolish to shut off."
