I still think this is a very good idea :idea: and is a graceful way to both slow down the conversion of farm land...

Another point of view, for what it is worth: At the risk of being attacked by those with differing ideas; I worked as a social worker for 20 years for Child Protective Services, and have spoken with...

Good Post. I sent it to Efren's assistant as a suggestion. Some specificity is sorely needed when it comes to what is OK and what is not.

I encourage you all to contact Efren...

I'm aghast you would truly consider murdering someone's loved pet, let alone posting it publicly. If you post any further heartless thoughts, it will be clear that you are not part of "conscious...

In unincorporated Sonoma it's just one other person that you need to join you. I can just...

I also have to ask: What's the point? What will you prove or accomplish by challenging the police to enforce relatively innocuous laws against camping on the city hall lawn? There are, as ubaru says,...

Dear Occupy Santa Rosa,

Thanks for all your questions/complaints about the Gratitude Button not being available in the digest. It was heart-warming to see how much it was missed! It's back now, so please share the love!...

Seattle's Pike Place Market is indeed a wondrous thing, and it's not only year-round but daily, and a major destination. But seriously, can you imagine the outrage if anyone proposed doing something...
