What a tragic loss, my sincere condolences. In addition to label warnings, parents teach children to never EVER take medication prescribed to other people. Also, random taking of antibiotics has created resistant strains of bacteria. We as a society take medication now as a matter of course. Such a terrible loss saddens me. Perhaps this reminder will be a reminder for the future.— July 25, 2008 7:13 a.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Oh, one more thing about Social Security...the government play shell games with that fund all the time, borrowing from it and not paying back the loan-like to fund a war?. That's when they start the bruhaha that social security is going to run out of money along wit the propaganda that it's better to have private IRAs (so Wall street brokers can play ducks and drakes with the money). But hey...maybe we can pay sunshine dollars into our social security accounts and not worry about a thing! Best Kathy— February 22, 2008 8:46 p.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Don! I was so disappoint to see your "Response to post #23: No one seems to be discussing the sunshine tax or what's also called psychic income in San Diego. In the private sector, people take lower wages and fringes just for the privilege of living in San Diego." Have you been hanging out with Diane Jacobs? When I read that I was shocked that you would repeat such crap. Mortgages aren't paid by "sunshine dollars" nor are the utilities, food, clothing or transportation costs. I wonder if journalists in Chicago or New York or Los Angeles or Washington would come to work for the UT (your former employer) and accept "sunshine dollars" to make up the difference in their pay. Finally, public sector pay has finally become comparable to private sector pay after a long time. Just because the private sector have and are underfunding their pensions, filing Chapt 13 to escape their obligations to their employees (Remember the airlines?) and paying big bonus' to CEOs while cutting retirement benefits (my grandmother worked for GM and she has gotten the shaft) doesn't mean the public sector has to follow suite. And Don, did you know there are several classifications/jobs that workers hold in both the City and County government AND qualify for state aide (Medi-Cal/Healthy Families)? Thank goodness those programs don't count the sunshine dollars as income. Well, yet anyway. Otherwise, more children would be uninsured!— February 22, 2008 8:32 p.m.
