When, as a nurse, do you recall refrigeration trucks lined up outside of hospitals for the purpose of storing dead bodies because the morgues were beyond capacity?

When, in your lifetime, do you...

OK, so then what's up with all the dead people?

This is a description that I find only on a single third party site (Go Local). I do not find this language anywhere on Wacco's site. The link that Barry added to your thread, Introduction to this...

Wow! I can hardly believe that this conversation is even happening. And then again it doesn't surprise me in the least.

What exactly would be the criteria for a thread to be placed in this...

While we are busy being concerned about dividing the Democratic party, the party, in all of its centrist wisdom has overwhelmingly voted to continue the very non-democratic Orwellian governmental...

In the heat of increased military action in the Middle East and the threat of a war with Iran hanging over our heads, this might be an appropriate time to point out that the preferred choice for our...

[ I am reposting Rustie's post below from a couple of weeks ago, along with my response, because I believe it didn't go out in the digest due to problems arising from the fire. ~ Barry :waccosun:]

You're fortunate enough to have health insurance that has provided you with acceptable health care and you don't want anything to upset your apple cart. Fair enough. Now let's try addressing those...

How can we get this across to you? ALL doctors, facilities, labs, pharmacies, technicians, etc will be completely covered under MFA. Additionally dental, vision and hearing will be added and...

I think you misunderstand the relationship between health insurance companies and Medicare, though I am not asserting myself as an expert. Medicare does not sub-contract with the private insurance...

And here's another great article pointing out what's really behind the curtain.

For those who just refuse to peek I can't help but wonder what your true motivations may be. It is difficult to...

If your concerns are genuinely as stated, that the primary objective needs to be winning this election, and your issue with MFA is that the polls indicate it would be a deal breaker for the Democrats...

When I checked the polls on approval of MFA, I saw that they were running at around 70%. That having been said, polls move and the numbers do change, especially when you have major media, the DNC &...

True, however the election wasn't her's to win or lose in the first place. Using some of the same illicit techniques that the Republicans used against her, Hillary stole the nomination from Bernie. ...

Sorry, but I don't recall ever having suggested that a third party had a chance to win a presidential election at this time. Perhaps that's not at all what you're intimating. But to respond more...

It seems to me, but this is just my interpretation from your discourse, that you are not in favor of a country that addresses the needs of all people equally and empowers the people rather than...

Persistence is not a quality limited to a singular political philosophy. As you have clearly demonstrated, old right wing Republicans, or Libertarians, or any other political ideology you associate...

I don't recall Bernie ever having media darling status. Despite that, I do agree that the DNC will do all it can to prevent a Sanders Administration. That includes lie, cheat and steal as well as...

With all due respect, your comments read straight from the scripts of both establishment party narratives. In actuality it's the electorate that is moving farther left. As the populist movement...

Certainly, if I wanted to, I could research the veracity of your assertion that the Russians impacted the results of the 2016 election. However, since it's not one of my talking points I don't feel...

I didn't ask what information you have regarding Russia's meddling. I asked what information do you have to indicate that the said meddling had any effect on the outcome of the election.

...

What information do you have that indicates that Russia's meddling actually had any effect on the outcome of the 2016 election?

Another perspective might be: if the DNC had not meddled in their...

I'm really not patronizing you nor do I make any assumptions about you. With all due respect my commentary has nothing to do with you personally. I'm responding to your comments on this thread.

...

Thanks for the empathetic support. I suspect that you agree with me in theory though not in practice. Unfortunately, I also suspect that that position is consistent with mainstream talking points....

I guess if gender is your criteria for president than that would be a good way to sort. I tend to start with background. What have they done, what do they stand for and what are their policies?

...

Thanks for the link Barry. I went to Mayor Pete's site and it struck me very much like his interviews. He's a polished speaker but he doesn't actually say much of anything, it's a lot of platitudes....

Nice short list of criteria for eliminating candidates. Thank you for that Emerald. I would add to that anyone who doesn't come to the table with a past history of actions and a proven record of...

So here's the deal, I don't think Warren is the worst of the bunch but her positions on our economic structure, in my opinion, don't go far enough to effectively change the paradigm. While she has...

While I respect your opinion that Pete might be the right person for the job, and I appreciate your thoughtful summation of all his valuable qualities, I'm not reading anything from this that...

Nice to see there are some Sanders supporters in Wacco world. If we're looking for serious systemic change, in my opinion, he is the only candidate, who from the Oval, will fight with and for us to...

A good sense of humor is a wonderful attribute to have – thanks for that Rossmen.

In regards to the cute smart gay guy – smart as a fox, or sly, as I believe the saying goes. Donning...

Because Abraham, you don't think that these six women candidates are running for their personal ambitions but all the male candidates unequivocally are? Do you believe that women are somehow above...

Hey Everybody,

https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/keep90days/2019-05-05_14-23-22a.pngI don't understand why there's not a lot of noise around Bernie Sanders. I think it's pretty clear that...

Thank you Dan, you've just made my case. It was a complex issue. Why did the board wait seven months to share the information with the public? Perhaps because they had already decided for us...

...

Sorry to disillusion you Shepherd but this was not a Sebastopol only vote. Palm Drive Health District includes about 15 other towns in addition to Sebastopol.

The story these numbers tell me is...

Dan,

You seem to take issue with many of my comments. My reference to the lack of public discussion regarding the imminent sale as “suspect” seems to disturb you. You point to the many public...

Hey Dan,

Thanks to continue the dialog on this issue. I don't believe I said nor did I intend to convey that title on any property had changed. Sorry for any misunderstanding. What I did say is...

Thanks Dan for that info, much appreciated. A couple of salient points that you've shared. AAMG is planning to stick around. I would think so, they've been establishing their business at our hospital...

Thanks Barry for putting that question out there. I too would love to hear from Jim, I think some clarity would be very valuable. As I read what folks are saying on various discussion sites I get the...

It is my understanding that there no longer is, nor will there be a hospital open to the public at the Palm Drive location. The “hospital” that now exists is currently a short term acute care...

I really wasn't being sarcastic when I said “Nice apology Marty” so there's no argument from me as to whether or not it was sincere. The problem for me is not the apology it's the distortion of facts...

Nice apology Marty, but unfortunately the damage has been done. It would be nice if everyone could just say and do whatever they wanted and later simply remove and erase it all without consequence....

Thank you, Barry, for the background and clarity on Marty's comment and what in fact Michael Carnacchi actually proposed to the city council last May. The difference between proposing a resolution in...

I'm sorry Robert but I wholeheartedly disagree with you and others who are of the opinion that our three incumbents have adequately served in the best interests of the majority of our community. The...

Need someone for odd jobs on a small organic permaculture farm in Sebastopol.

Looking for someone on a part-time, semi-regular basis. Days and times needed can be very flexible - can work...

That's a powerful statement, and both in theory and function I agree with the sentiment. The next step in my mind is to ask the earnest question: Is a similarly structured business tax in place for...

You are making a lot of assertions and assumptions here Ted. First of all I made no accusations implying conspiracy, dark or otherwise. That's a convenient word used when folks wish to discredit that...

Hey Ted,

I appreciate your perspective and I do understand that city government does not directly “build stuff”. However in addition to enacting policies to encourage private developers to...

I agree that the Diamond Lumberyard site was too expensive. Perhaps it was overpriced. Basso has wanted to sell that property for the past 10 years but there it sat, vacant, with the exception of the...

While affordable housing is absolutely something we are lacking in this town there is little evidence to support the notion that high density zoning is the gateway to low-income housing projects. In...
