Ya Jace I wasnt saying you did but of all the criticisms of the FSC mine have been the sharpest and I dont want redrob to feel as though they are directed at him personally.

I have been through this with Mark kernes a few times, Kernes take criticism of the FSC very personal, truth is I like Kernes and I respect his ability to verbally match wits with me...even when he is wrong.

I thin the biggest mistake the FSC made was in its initial 2257 filing granting protection only to FSC members...they will come back and tell you that you have to be a party to the lawsuit to have protection and thats true....however they filed specifically so as to make only their members a party instead of the industry et el.

Whether this was just incompetence on their part or planned to boost membership I think the short term gains did more long term harm than good.

The biggest problem with the FSC is and always has been the lack of accountability but its more than just that, they can't point to a single thing that they have done with pride and say hey look what we did here!

They cant tell us what they are doing because in essence they aren't doing anything other than being a jobs program for people who couldnt get a job anyplace else.

They like to beat their chest about their lobbying days in sacramento but they cant point to one iota of legislation they sponsored or really anything tangible that they have accomplished there.

If everyone on gfy got together and said south yer our boy we are going to join the FSC and make you executive director or whatever the first thing I would do is disband it, and I wouldn't collect a dime of salary for it.

I would then turn it over to someone who could rebirth it into what it should be.
