Why more people leave than enter San Diego
Don, one of the biggest problems with discussions like this is that they really don't get into truly meaningful considerations about quality of life, such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We must find a better way than to simply compare our existence to gross statistics. "Another reason is the many outdoor activities that don’t cost much money" is a good starting point, especially for choosing to live in San Diego rather than anyplace else in the world.— April 9, 2014 1:18 p.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, just remember I'm the OB version and he's the RSF version. I'd much rather hear the ocean at night.— April 9, 2014 10:46 a.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, thank you for your always excellent investigative reporting. Too bad enough people don't fight harder for San Diego, but Manchester is turning it into a cultural cesspool with the Opera and Balboa Park just two more victims of his culture of hate and destruction to maximize his power of money regardless of consequences. Truth is, if I hadn't been born a block from the ocean, and have since lived for decades and raised a family a block from Sunset Cliffs I would leave also, but I have a lifelong love of the ocean which is in my DNA. Thanks for your dedication to saving San Diego.— April 8, 2014 4:40 p.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Anon 92067, well said as usual. I keep trying to turn this cultural disaster into a truly money making opera, so I offer some components for consideration such as: One of the set designs can be based on Hieronymus Bosch’s painting "Hell 4" to represent Paradise Plundered. A ballet must be performed by Filner and Allred singing lustily at each other. A combined opera board and BPCI chorus can perform a dysfunctional oratorio inspired by the San Diego elite in action. Throughout, the opera Pope Manchester could be featured showering sewertorials down on San Diego from his personal firmament, while his newest puppet-mayor promotes another money losing stadium subsidized by taxpayers, to replace the opera. I'm certain that if we all pitched in we can create a real moneymaker to save the opera, they keep giving us ideas daily.— April 8, 2014 7:49 a.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, this whole scenario reads like an opera, time to add music and produce an opera to save the San Diego Opera. Wagner would have loved this opportunity.— April 8, 2014 2:47 a.m.
Edison execs dump $18 million of stock after rate deal
Don, that's one of the reasons that The Greatest Generation was so Great, they destroyed the Nazis. Tragically we are still having holocausts, the Jewish people are still right about it can happen again because it never stops and even the United Nations has failed to end them. Hate is wired into too many people's brains around the world and psychologists can't figure out how the human race can overcome that emotion, it is one of the seeds of our self-destruction.— April 5, 2014 11:39 a.m.
Edison execs dump $18 million of stock after rate deal
CaptD, very well summarized. I guess the only good news is that even though SCE and the CPUC committed gross criminal negligence with SONGS, at least they stopped short of another Three Mile Island and Fukushima, but they are about to bankrupt California because of the Power of Money Plutocracy/Oligarchy that has now taken over American Democracy. And we haven't been murdered by PG&E yet. Getting much harder to find good news anymore after a week that began with the latest IPCC report, followed by the SCOTUS overthrow of American Democracy, and the CPUC/Brown betrayals continue.— April 5, 2014 3:54 a.m.
Edison execs dump $18 million of stock after rate deal
CaptD and Visduh thank you for your most appropriate comments, California is going from the Golden State to the Drowning in a Sea of Corruption State.— April 5, 2014 3:42 a.m.
Edison execs dump $18 million of stock after rate deal
Don, with republicans overthrowing American Democracy while democrats watch and do nothing, our experiment has failed completely. Future generations, as long as Global Warming allows them to live, shall most certainly consider us to have gone from The Greatest Generation during WWII to The Most Self-Destructive Generation in History.— April 4, 2014 2:49 p.m.
Edison execs dump $18 million of stock after rate deal
Don, SCE and CPUC are both guilty of gross criminal negligence at SONGS that threatened peoples lives and they are now threatening the Southern California economy. If Brown doesn't act to protect the public I'm not going to vote for him ever again.— April 4, 2014 12:49 p.m.
