    I dont see it as that.

    I see it as CNN knowing they need time restraints for a Q&A. THis was never a planned speech.

    Kid submits topic he wants to pose his question under.
    CNN formulates kids idea into a question for kid.
    Father of child changes the question into a much longer speech form.
    CNN says they agree on a short question already that had ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED.
    Father and son have a tissy fit and remove they portion of the email stating the question had already been submitted and instead try to smeer CNN.

    I have no fatih in any major media outlet, but I think the right place to start is saying what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong and what the family did was wrong.
    CNN has a schedule to maintain, they are within their programming rights to let a family know this isn't a time for a speech but to stick to the question they and ALREADY agreed on.

    :cool2:

    There are literally thousand of young people on the West Coast Sailing in the various harbors and Sounds. I have talk with many now.
    A hell of lot of them about your age.

    Damn if I can find any that aren't scared shitless to do what I do, singlehand Sailing the West Coast. They talk much about it but, you can see the doubt in their eyes! Perhaps I don't see the right image in the mirror. But then, I sure don't think they do.

    So twitter away Sly.:party:
