There are those who believe it would be better if it were not so. There are those who disagree.

I going throw this thread into drift, but I apparently lived 2008 under a rock, as I was totally ignorant of "Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I really missed something here.

I was under the impression that travel bans were intolerant and bigoted policies that serve no purpose beyond hurting people who are simply trying to live peaceful lives as Americans.

Based on California's actions, I may have to rethink my understanding of whether travel bans are good or bad.

or more recently coined politically correct.
