  1. Re: Biden's Scary Foreign Policy Picks: A Blast From War Crimes Past

    Now, we have something to agree on. Making extreme arguments to get there wasn't really necessary. The goal should be to get money out of politics so decisions can be made for the good of all. At...
  2. Re: No more lockdown

    I sincerely hope no one takes this Jackass's words seriously!

    Hope I'm dead before this happens. There's no humanity in it.

  4. Re: My Response to Tonight's Debate (9/29/20)

    "Have the debate presenter set up the debate stage such that the moderator presses a button and turns on the speaker's mic for 2 minutes for the beginning of each question and for 1 minute for each...
  5. Re: Will you choose freedom?

    If I have freedom, I choose to prolong the happy state I'm in now which doesn't depend on the outside world. When I have proof of the "herd immunity" theory, maybe I'll rethink things.

    If you want...
  6. Re: Will you choose freedom?

    If , as the article says, "Freedom is saying what needs to be said", then I say 93 Sonoma Coumty residents have lost their lives due to Covid-19. Of course, you may argue that statistic, as stated...
  7. Re: Is Capitalism Finished?

    Is Capitalism a dirty word? Many people think so. Personally, I like it and think it adds an interesting dimension to life and is the system I prefer to live under. But unfettered Capitalism, like...
  8. Re: Is the United States Over?

    Shepherd,

    While I don't agree with some of your views, sadly, I agree with this one. We have become a nation of spoiled children throwing fits to get things our way. Putting aside the divide...
  9. View Post

    Question. Will this People's Party take votes away from the Democrats or Republicans? If the Democrats lose votes to them it will ensure trump wins, just like Bernie did to Hilary. In my humble...
  10. Re: thank you soco supervisors for spending 100s of millions $ on police while we burn up

    Another unthinking post. HelloHello, the only thing I have to say to you is, Goodbye Goodbye.

  11. Re: police budgets should be capped at 10% of entire budget. PERIOD

    It's not possible to say your statement is ill thought out, because it simply has no recognizable thought in it. Throughout the history of human beings there have always police forces of one sort or...
  12. Re: Flight To Mars

    1. I'm not a commie and don't think like one as that system is totally unacceptable to me.
    2. What has been roundly rejected in our society is thinking, period.
    3. Yes, everything is important, but...
  13. Re: Flight To Mars

    Once again. Why is it we have all the money to finance ventures such as this, but not enough to properly educate our children? Yes, technologically speaking, the effort is brilliant, but at the same...
  14. Re: One Nation Under House Arrest: How Do COVID-19 Mandates Impact Our Freedoms?

    If the article is correct then I suggest that we all rebel at stopping for redlights, using seatbelts, parking on railroad tracks and smoking in movie theaters, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Is America...
  15. A Little Appreciation

    A year ago my husband lost his wedding ring and our 10th anniversary was coming up so I thought it would be nice to replace the ring during our renewal ceremony, planned for April 26 th. I made...
  16. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    What does that phrase, "common sense" mean. I've never observed anything that sounds like that it my long lifetime!

  17. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    Suppose we just ignored the mask problem and made face to face meetings for masks only or meetings with proper distancing for those with no masks and virtual meetings for everyone to discuss problems...
  18. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    Please don't think the problem is the two party system. No matter how many parties we have, things will always be bad if we have the corruption. We can make the two party system work, or any number...
  19. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    I’ve been following this thread, “To mask or not to mask”, for some time now and am amazed at what I’ve been reading – or better, appalled. How can supposedly intelligent people – after all, they are...
  20. Re: Canadian pharmacies

    I've used mailordermeds.com and am very pleased with the way they do business. You can check prices on their website without signing up. I'm waiting for a new shipment now.

    It's sad that our...
  21. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    Other than being a royal pain in the face, masks don't really hurt us. They may not help stop the spread of the disease, but they surely don't contribute to it. On the other hand, there is a...
  22. Re: Action Alert: Hwy 12 / Llano Rd. Gas Station proposal is back!

    Gas stations do not perpetuate the climate crisis, people do. While I applaud your willingness to take action, let me suggest other activities that might reduce pollution and also help in other...
  23. Re: Flight To Mars

    What is missing from this conversation is acknowledging that it is the destiny of humankind to move out into the universe. If we do not, when our Sun goes supernova, humankind will cease to exist.

  25. Re: Flight To Mars

    Perhaps you should consider the downside of this endeavor. While I have a degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics and worked in the space industry in my youth, I'm now convinced that the UN should...

    I don't know how old you are, but when I was a child the president of the United States was in a wheel chair because of Polio. My Grandfather used to show me houses when we took walks and tell me how...

    Homeless

    We spent the weekend in San Francisco for the first time in years. We went to breakfast at an “in” restaurant in the Tenderloin area. We found a parking place a block and a half away and...
  29. Re: Colonizing Mars 2024

    Why should humans be allowed to visit other planets when they don't know how to live on and care for their own?

  30. Re: Evacuation stories? Lessons?

    Lessons Learned

    The police came by at 3:30AM. We tried to drive south on 116. It was a parking lot. Took a half hour to go 2 blocks. Slept for 3 hours in Hopmonk's parking lot and then went home....
  31. Re: Solution to this disagreement?

    The disagreement is over the possibility that a high water bill may come. They could save a lot of energy and wait for the bill before starting to fight. They may not have so much fun, but if the...
  32. Re: Population Growth

    You are quite correct!

    If you divide all the crap that goes into ruining the atmosphere by the number of people on the planet, you will obtain the per capita amount of that crap. If we (the...
  33. Progressive Urgent Care, Sebastopol

    We have used the new Urgent Care facility about 10 times and find the service to be excellent and the prices reasonable. The staff is exceptionally nice.
    They are somewhat slow in billing, but...
  34. Re: Drugh Prices Revisited

    I take 13 prescriptions every day. Let me assure you that I met my deductible a long time ago. In fact, it was with my first monthly purchase of drugs in January of this year. In addition, I purchase...
  35. Drugh Prices Revisited

    In my last post, I told that Costco sells a drug for $21.69 cash that I had an $80.00 co-pay for at Safeway. I was unable to deal with Costco due to their idiotic policies. Instead,I found the...
  36. Drug Prices

    I'm an old man with Medicare Part D drug insurance. I shop at Safeway Market pharmacy. One of my prescriptions results in an $80.03 co-pay. They sell that drug for $225.69 cash. I recently found...

    Already got my bill for this April's visit and payed it. Seems like things are looking up as far as billing goes!

  38. Re: Palm Drive hospital

    I have had occasion, for the last two Aprils, to use the services of the Sonoma West Medical Center Emergency Room. In both cases, the care I received was excellent. Dr. Kimbro and her staff treated...
  39. Re: Protest Gaza killings.

    There will be no peace without justice for everyone, but no one wants peace in the mid-east. Where is the United Nations? Where are the so called world leaders? Certainly the United States will do...
  40. Re: Protest Gaza killings.

    You want to protest the Gaza killings? What about protesting the demonstrators throwing rocks with slings knowing that if they work hard enough, the only way to deal with them is with guns? Keep up...

    I'm an old fashioned kind of guy - you can tell from my moniker.

    Under the laws of the State of California, the boys committed a battery offense. The girls and their parents need to be taught to...
  42. Re: CVS to buy Aetna for $69 billion--a threat to health industry

    If you are seriously upset by this, simply call CVS and tell them you will never spend another penny with them and don't. I'm going to do this tomorrow. It may not matter, but if enough folks do...
  43. Re: Enforce the Smart Meter Ban in Sebastopol

    I don't have a strong opinion about radiation dangers. If forced, I would say it's very Sebastopolian. The danger that I see doesn't seem to be discussed. That danger is the taking over of our...
