Unfortunately, the police had been watching the dealer, follow this person to your house, and come crashing in during your party. Upon finding the cocaine, the State is now able to take away your house, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Who gave this ability to the State of California? The voters did, in a general election resolution some years ago. They voted to put themselves at risk. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

OMG are you serious? That's crazy! I've heard the stereotype that Americans are dumb. I don't usually like stereotypes (except for using in jokes
) but this really does enforce that! Sorry but how dumb is it to vote in something like that!
