Response to post #26: What is truly amazing is that The Greatest Generation was able to raise the level of Humanity as high as they did. But in spite of all their truly heroic accomplishments the 20th century is now being characterized as the “Savage Century” of war, threats of war and genocide on a scale far greater than all the peoples of ancient Egypt, Persia, Mongolia, Greece and Rome were able to produce combined, due to the “miracles” of modern science and technology in the 20th century. As the Durants documented in their Lessons of History: “One of the discouraging discoveries of our disillusioning century is that science is neutral: it will kill for us as readily as it will heal, and will destroy for us more readily than it can build.” And as Freeman Dyson said in Imagined Worlds: “The failure of science to produce benefits for the poor in recent decades is due to two factors working in combination: the pure scientists have become more detached from the mundane needs of humanity, and the applied scientists have become more attached to immediate profitability.”— April 20, 2008 3:52 p.m.

Response to post #11: Well it's no wonder since "Brash Cash" Davies' Court of "Bloodsucker" controlled judges has replaced the Greer/Murphy Court at the U-T/Cunningham Circle of Dante's Inferno in San Diego. San Diego and U.S. governments are devolving full circle to the pre-Democracy days of Athens before 6th century B.C.— April 20, 2008 3:32 p.m.

Response to post #6: Actually Don, you have been producing volumes in addition to "just two examples" for decades and the increasingly tragic fact is that far too few people have been paying attention to U-T/Davis business, government and judicial corruption that is destroying our way of life in San Diego enough to demand that something be done about it before the We The People lemmings go off the cliff. So get used to more unacceptable consequences than out of control firestorms as our new way of life in San Diego unless those who are supporting Francis and Aguirre become more vocal and participative in changing the course that egregious corruption and greed has put us on. Right now our judges are our worst enemy because their corruption has stopped Aguirre from saving America's (formerly) Finest City. It's time we started putting more Greer court type judges like Murphy along with government lawyers who betray us like Dumanis in jail to join the out of control numbers already overflowing our jails throughout America.— April 20, 2008 3:03 a.m.

Response to post #20 & 23: maybelar is indeed one of the people we all need to hear more from because the U-T and far too many other businesses are changing the way business is done in America. We now live in a new era after corruption and greed have passed tipping points in our corporate, legislative, judicial, educational, religious and other most important institutions impacting all of our futures in increasingly Draconian ways. The era that the Greatest Generation produced for us is over and the window of opportunity for the greatest middle class in history is closing. I feel your wife has one of the best degrees, biological sciences are what stimulate my curiosity the most today especially since my wife became a cancer survivor.— April 20, 2008 2:44 a.m.

Response to post #4: "To be dumb and dishonest is death" but not necessarily in San Diego. As you keep pointing out, San Diegans are the most gullible and apathetic people in America because this is just too nice a location to live, but it is much more than that, apathy is a national cancer that is allowing American Democracy to be overthrown. American apathy and gullibility are two cultural values that have allowed corrupt republicans and braindead democrats to continue to get elected for far too long. The fact is that none of the three candidates for president today are acceptable, they are all current Senators who have provided no leadership in Congress so they can't be expected to lead the nation. So "dishonest" republican special interests rule while "dumb" democrats watch and do nothing leading to "death" of the Rule of Law and the American Way of Life.— April 19, 2008 3:09 a.m.

Response to post #18: Ooops, you have my empathy Don. I also have a most wonderful wife like that, and it's as good as it gets once you realize the superior benefits. At this point in life I fully appreciate more than ever before my wife who is smarter than me (she got a better grade in International Relations than me and has never let me forget it and other dumb things I did back then), especially most thankfully that she has always had infinitely more common sense than me which got us this far alive in the happily ever after mode, and knows what she likes or not. Sorry about the blasphemy of comparing Wagner with Bush/Cheney or U-T/Davies in the same thought. Would one or more circles of Dante’s Inferno be more appropriate and acceptable? However news footage of the Golding/Murphy/Sanders Firestorms have become somewhat iconic representations of the consequences of our U-T/Davies government all by themselves, but outsiders might not be able to relate to this comparison with the same outrage that we have (or should have but people forget the death and destruction too easily on the first day of spring).— April 18, 2008 10:40 a.m.

Response to post #12: I know what you are saying Don, and I don’t want to knit pick but there is a big difference philosophically and psychologically between the Cheney Bloodsucker mentality and the Sanders-Peters Puppetician mentality. That is to say, Cheney gives orders as the leader of the Neocon establishment using his Bushpuppet, while our San Diego puppets follow orders of their U-T/Davies masters. Just thought that needed a little clarification so we know the hierarchy of the cast of characters in this Wagnerian style world we live in today.— April 18, 2008 2:27 a.m.

I wonder how many unethical practices Admiral Froman put up with before she bailed out to recover her integrity? During this era of U-T/Davies Bloodsuckers a motto for the City of San Diego has been "Unethical Practices 'R' Us" by Golding, Murphy and Sanders puppeticians.— April 17, 2008 1:57 a.m.

Response to post #2 & 7: Interesting comment by Scoop recommending that the U-T "bring it out of the bush-league status" which seems to be part of a national cancer considering the U-T Editorial Board has a Bush-Cheney mentality. As for the consequences of the U-T "bush-league" mentality to our way of life in San Diego, the newest version of Bosch’s “Hell” are “Hell in San Diego” icons produced by the U-T and directed by Davies featuring pictures of firestorms.— April 17, 2008 1:47 a.m.

The U-T takes “Draconian” down to a whole new level, they not only destroy their own employees which is no surprise since they have been destroying San Diego for decades reminding me of a painting of “Hell” by Hieronymus Bosch especially after the 2003 and 2007 firestorms created by U-T “Ballot Recommendations” puppeticians like Golding, Murphy and Sanders.— April 16, 2008 12:24 p.m.
