The orginal post is from Sal. Sal and Taishon are one and the same and both me. Last time I checked (and I check often) I am male :0) No apology necessary though, if you met me in person, I doubt you...

True..they may have been from out of town (which begs the question..why didn't the locals take notice and defend the dancers or call the breachers on their behavior) and the last paragraph of my...

Soo..I am very white (in PC terms a 'person of bleach ness') which clearly puts you in the judgment and assumptions camp. The last paragraph of my original post was from me alone and not the Pomo...

And I wasn't there so I truly don't know the firsthand facts of what happened but I have confidence, based on experience, of my former students ability to honestly and accurately recount...

<br><br>

Ooookaay..not sure what any of that has to do with my original post but whatever floats yer boat...or, in this case, whatever petri dishes your culture...

During the Oct 12th Farmer's market there was a Pomo dance troup performing. One of my former students was one of the lead dancers. When I talked to her about the event she related to me that the...

So I am posting this on the eve of Earthday 2013 and the eve of the last day of the public comment period for the Keystone Pipeline project. My family and I participated in several ED events which I...

Shut your worthless trap..you weren't there with you and your kid endangered. (unless you were one of the reckless idiots on bikes). I love it when weak- minded fuck nuts chime in on...

I think there is a very strong biker community here in this county. Unfortunately, I am coming to believe its of the evangelical myopic variety that doesn't exist in any other many hobbies or...

I keep seeing the need to generalize and support 'both sides' in arguments like these and sort of make overall statements about spirituality or humanity. There may be two different perceptions (one...

Ok..but if the biker almost always hears the car then why aren't they moving out of the way instead of forcing the car to move outside the lines ?!? I have a truck, there are many times when I have...

Thank you very much. I am guessing that most of your spin class will respond positively but I am also pretty confident that a few will arrogantly claim that there is no problem and that 'cyclist' are...

Let me agree with a coupe of points below;

1. The vast majority of bikers (keep the semantic corrections to yourself, I have heard the term cyclist and bikers used interchangeably and you know...

BTW- I love biking but I would die before being seen in spandex :0)

As a biker, I don't like to put all bikers in the rude category. That being said, I am one of the more polite ones riding and thats just plain wrong. Ideally, I should be one of the least polite and...

I posted on the facebook for the Sonoma County Bike Coalition and the Santa Rosa Cycling Club. There is no excuse for how you were treated or how those people biked today. Bikers are supposed to be...

About 20 minutes ago I was walking with my young kid on the paved path around Ragle park. A biker came screaming towards us on the hill that occurs after a partly blind turn past the tennis courts....

Thank you for clarifying the difference between suburban and downtown. If you didn't mean it condescendingly then I apologize but it sure felt like you were lecturing and assuming ignorance.

I...

I am more intrigued but not yet convinced and certainly not convinced enough to try to force that on the Pellinis.
Petaluma's population is spread over a denser area near more employers that would...

It does spark my imagination but is extremly unlikely to happen. I can't imaghine the JC agreeing to putting a Satellite in Sebastopol due to its small population compared to, say, Petaluma. I doubt...

I completly disagree with some fo the underlying assumptions of your argument but then I realize, unlike most I think, that it is possible for two equally caring, rational, smart people to be on the...

Thank you for posting the links to the PDFs. I have hard copies and because time and my lack of intelligence I had a hard time finding the links to post :0)
Sal

With the exception of the Whole Foods Corporation (which garners the nickname "Whole Paycheck" if you have a moderate income), I am not convinced that the other major corporate entities in town...

I think that the comments about Chase and good ones and fully justified. I just can't see putting off good, environmental, attractive, economically boosting development just because you don't like...

You honestly believe the current building, which isn't remotely green by any standards (or even appealing) can be converted to tastefully...

Helen,
Thank you for your replies. I appreciate what appears to be an attempt at a respectful debate. Let me try to summarize what was said in your posts as it pertains to objecting to the...

I thought I would respond to what is probably the biggest bogus objection;

"The Development is 'Big Box'"

Some facts that shoot this down;

The largest proposed building would be 15,000...

On Monday there will be a City Council Meeting to discuss the Design Review Committee's denial of the Pellini's Corner development. As often happens in this town, the opposition and action against...

1. What you seem to be attempting to do is to convince me to reject rational and evidence-based thought to believe in something that, by your description, seems to be...

When/where is your Seance being held ? What kind of animals do you need ? When/how do you normally use animal sacrifices ?

This thread has turned into a Western vs Eastern Medicine thread and I am very grateful to all the replies. I wanted to make a brief comment here.

I am far more interested in testing Palm Reading,...

Thanx for the suggestion. If energy healing is not done 'at a distance' then it qualifies as direct human contact/touch and can be considered to have some of the same benefits as massage/human...

I am not denigrating this post so I hope you don't take it that way..Many beliefs/practices have been around for a long time without having anything close to the merit they claim. BTW- I hope the...

I guess I am looking to set up a 'harder' science study where I examine the actual physical science basis :0) Self-reported testimony is notoriously subject to errors and uncertainties for many of...

There are so many fallacies of logic and bad assumptions in your post that I am not sure its productive to respond. Essential you are using starting to use Ad Hominen and irrelevant arguments to...

First off, thank you for not replying in a hostile or irrational manner..that gets old even if it is irritatingly amusing. To answer your first paragraph;

1. Absolutely no compensation or...

Its tragically amusing how immediately hostile and insulting people get when you state (no matter how matter of factly) a desire to have it tested. Whatever vast and erroneous interpretation of my...
