There is no Police Advisory Board in Sebastopol. After the Jeremiah Chass murder by the Sheriff's and several other police induced fatalities, the PACH was formed in Santa Rosa.

Hear Hear Sabrina!

Well put, thank you for your articulate and comprehensive reply. I know how busy you are.

The part about Olembe putting his hand on the cops shoulder really concerns me. As a...

An awful lot of projection and painting with a broad brush here. No surprise really, given the topics involved. Here are some facts:

Olembe has been rousted by cops in Santa Rosa more than once....

I have never been to Cuba. But I've known people who went with the Venceremos Brigades back in the eighties and early nineties. My understanding is that it is illegal in the U.S. for Americans to...

Two people who responded to Sabrina's account of the police treatment of Olembe, have essentially downplayed or denied that racism had anything to do with it, also implying that profiling of any kind...

Sabrina, my lovely sweet friend, I cannot agree with you here. Whole Foods is notorious for its Greenwashing, Overpricing, Union-busting management. And its CEO who basically blamed cancer and other...

Since the sites Barrie provides are the two that represent the "views" of the faction I think of as the "entrenched staff", the crowd that has been crying foul the loudest and the dirtiest with...

Now that we've all come to agreement about the issues at hand. (I keed, I keed.) Three comments.

Kpage9, you say you are/were, "...a past victim of Miles' scorn--which successfully silenced me...

Dixon,

What you are responding to, that I have written, as if mine are closely argued comments, with your closely argued replies, are just off the cuff observations by me. I think that is where...

I can't recall if Bruce Robinson's piece published in the Bohemian has been shared on this thread. When I read it a week or so ago, I found it to be the best summation of this mess that I've seen....

Gaia's Garden. On their website they specify which items are gluten free and which are not.

This thread has been painful for me to read because, on top of the egregious sexist harassment of women aspect, which is certainly more than enough, I had begun to warm to the scene at Aubergine.

It's called Freedom of Assembly and Speech. Rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, in the Bill of Rights.

(And never forget that the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the...

I just wrote the following as a Note on my Facebook. Sorry for the bold text here. A copy/paste carry over from FB. That's where I live these days, even if I check in here regularly. I'm off to...

Exactly, what a relief! Cause I was gonna go for, "Nanite mind control ingestible implants and RFD GPS tracking devices spread by chemtrail dispersion". But I didn't want people to think I was being...

Did anyone bother to call the Pentagon, or the Sonoma County Airport, or the Sheriff's Department and ask?

"Some animals are more equal than others." Animal Farm by George Orwell

Remember which animal says that?

Just wish to point out that the headline for this old thread reads, "Are you considering breeding your companion" because of its length. And in reply to that I say, Yes! Whenever I have one and she...

mhqc,

It just goes to the reason I was disappointed the Rapture didn't happen as predicted by "Rev." Camping's camp. If Caribou Barbie is who she claims to be, she would have been outta our hair....

I love the people who own it, they're my friends. I like all of the food there. And I've had most of it. It's a buffet so you pretty much can create your own meal. I very much like the atmosphere and...

Can't really say. But BBQ Smokehouse & Catering has the best slow smoked animal protein in Northern California. And it's in "town".

More grist for this mill. Take it away SomeGuy!

Magnifique Mon Ami!! How you have the patience to argue against such nonsense, is a mystery to me. But I'm glad you try.

Don’t Fall for Ron Paul

Not only do the President and his/our Attorney General know what is happening with the crackdown by the IRS, there have been an escalated series of FBI/DEA raids on Medical Marijuana Clinics, and...

A Hobbsian Choice?

Gene,

You've stated explicitly that you're not interested in reading criticisms of your response. So I'll start by saying I'm not writing this for you, but for anyone else reading this.

Gene...

Dixon,

My comment about "Read up!" was not directed at you personally. Sometimes when writing I shift voice and audience without telegraphing the move. A close reading and looking at the context...

Just want to point out that these are very old questions being discussed here. Descartes, Berkeley, Locke and Hume were here long before you guys got into talking about perception vs. reality. Or...

This cites a few more sources:

Well said.

One quibble. The quote you use at the end is only partially by MLK Jr.

Just pull'in your chain Barry. And doing my thing. It's a highly impacted issue. Emotionally, politically, culturally, conceptually, historically, morally, and so on. Not many good moves available....

Heretofore I was unaware that Waccobb.net was a outreach branch of Al Qaeda. Who knew?

Dixon,

The first link works for me, and I'm not "registered" with La Raza. The second, for the waccobb.net search, is now dead. Just do a search here for "Immigration" and observe the wonder.
...

Imagery,

I read everything you write here. I have since you joined waccobb. Sometimes you write things I agree with. Often you take an alarmist, accusatory and blinkered position that I either...

La Raza documents every one of their claims to fact with footnoted citations from independent sources. I anticipated your response. Typical. Who is going to make an argument defending undocumented...

Imagery, you're passing on falsehoods about immigrants coming here for a "free ride" at our expense. It's late, there are plenty of reliable resources that disprove your claims, claims you're...

Been following this "discussion" but I've been preoccupied elsewhere. How's this for a compromise?

No regulations for leaf blowers, chain saws, chipper/shredders, loud engines of any kind...

Hey Flexible, Thanks for asking.

The primary reason I think people should know where the checkpoints/retens are is because the cops rip off the cars of undocumented workers and arrest those same...

Santa Rosa Ave. and Barham. Acc. my good buddy.

And it was a joke!

(I'm referring to Post #32 in this thread. Barry emailed me privately to chastise me for not specifying. Did anybody not understand which post I was referring to?)

As much as it pains me to agree with Someguy (snerk!) Pod Poisson, I do. A boycott is not censorship.

Censorship is when an official source suppresses First Amendment rights. This did not happen...

Lynn,

Thank you for your comprehensive response. Two points:

Just because we have nukes and nuclear waste, doesn't mean we should continue creating more, with the continued operation of...

There's an extensive archive of responses to your question here on waccobb.net Scamper. My fave is the online SRJC course. Cheapest, easiest and most convenient. Just google, or search here for the...

Lynn, You make several claims/assumptions in your argument that are unfounded.

1. That "we" are dependent on nuclear power.
2. That the anti-nuclear movement is just "reacting" to the ongoing...
