i have no idea what your point is! please clarify. are you saying it is the fault of unions, or the fault of corporate greed, or??
just explain...thanks.

i attended the forum in Sebastopol. It was evident that Tom you were there more for Lynda Hopkins than for yourself. i mean for a moment, some of us wanted to get up and ASK, whaddya doin'??,...

oh WOW. guess we are Lucky- you know, 'that incident" as Andy's parents call it :(
quite the contrary- that land was destined to be an empty lot that's why it WAS an empty lot. everyone was gonna...

as we are sorting through the truths let us us begin by being clear that the Supervisors who sat in those seats for the past 27 years did ABSOLUTELY nothing to build a Park in Moorland....including...

theft is NOT theft. if one is hungry, i have to wonder why deny them food. a peach is tangible and certainly, taking more than your share seems wrong. I have to wonder why someone would strip a...

you are right, you were under some illusion this area was progressive. look around,
not sure where you might have got that idea- lol

i have soooo many adjectives to describe this guy...where did YOU find this...lol
awe but who would dare go near such a creep!
Sicko. obviously, he is re-inventing Herstory...what else is new

i had the good fortune of meeting Noreen Evans (i went to one of her public meet and greet) and i went there a little bit kicking and screaming.. my good friend asked me to "just try"..lol In...

you bettcha- they ARE totally oblivious! i wonder if they have removed All the trees already or will they be leaving them logged on the ground, so people can come and sit on them for Earth Day. ...

i suggest everyone go and see the movie "where to invade next". by Michael Moore. i'm sure there are going to be those who bash it because what else can we do to live with ourselves.
...

you are right in some respects. i think we must choose our battles, certainly seems there are too many fires to put out...however, it always helps to gather information and in doing so you can bring...

a few weeks ago i wrote Julie Coombs and quoted Big Yellow Taxi to her. she wrote back to me, and said it wasn't "All" the Trees....ugh
Don't it always seem to go, no matter who you vote for, they...

Dr. James Hostetter, Santa Rosa. when you meet James you will know that you've arrived at a chiropractor who has been around for soooo very long, so knowledgeable...and, he is the teacher's teacher...

i too wrote to Ms. Hopkins. Great, go for it i said... And, i love her response to Ernie Carpenter, X-Supervisor who sold us out long ago. Still, talk is cheap.
And, the endorsements of the likes...

simply knowing who Koenigshofer supports, with the blessing of Carrillo also behind the scenes, makes me sick. as if either of those two have any credibility! Sell-Outs

i'm not sure what this means really...am i to assume that Carrillo deserves a pass because he is Latino and immature and he is like all politicians and they are all greedy, and just do stupid acts?...

well, these are the same people who think Freitas and Ravitich are doing a fine job too even though the county is faced with six (6) major lawsuits which will go into the millions of dollars to pay...

may we rejoice in small victories...i don't mean to diminish this one...perhaps, it is bigger.
i give thanks to Caryl Hart for putting a monkey-wrench in the works. phew, that was close...but
as we...

actually, many of us in the community have been social activists for a long time and Efren actually has very little support from the Latino community, so not sure what YOU are talking about. ...

i suppose i would ask Noreen what she knows about Moorland and what has she done to support this community and helped them to become an empowered community? What does she think about the brush the...

Eric Koenigshoffer (that's whathisface)...has been Carrillo's sidekick for awhile, and was appointed to the Task Force by Efren, the impotent Task Force that is..and he used to be Supervisor, let us...

hi Zachary, i'm sorry you even Had to respond to this thread. i'm sorry you had to read some of the self-serving overreach of a few. a whole lot of gossip, very little substance. Why it couldn't...

this is NOT about the people in this tragedy?
Wow!
so, i guess we all get to fiddle around and intellectually masturbate about mental illness...and THAT IS, the Response.
a time to grieve, a time...

Really! ugh....
there is less clarity today than ever..
Assimilating facts? That's a slippery slope!
how presumptuous that any of us need to know a damn thing..

and, i want to add, it always pains me, when something so tragic happens in a neighborhood, and when neighbors are asked questions, so many say, "i didn't know them", or they "seemed nice" or "who...

wow, i'm a bit shocked by the supposed input regarding parenting, mental illness, family dynamics, and presumptions/assumptions about how this couple parented for better or worse, etc. etc. ? Tread...
