My opinion is that we need more food farming, and less wine and cannabis growing. One cannot live by wine and cannabis alone. Real food is needed. I bought my farm 25 years ago. Who, other than the...

OK, I see that there will indeed be a Sebastopol march, 10 a.m. just like the Santa Rosa time. So make a sign and come on down if you are in this area--

Dear folks,

Often when there is a big Santa Rosa march, we have one of our own here in Sebastopol. And sometimes, it comes together quickly and spontaneously, and folks don't know about it until...

I consider an edict that children should not be picked up or cuddled to be cruel, evil, and inhumane. What does it say about us, as humans, that we tolerate such behavior? Much of the world looks...
