Media publication says Manchester might sell
In other words, the American Dream for freedom, equality and opportunities for all is dead thanks to SCOTUS and the congressional republicans who have overthrown American Democracy. Nothing has really changed since oligarchs in Ancient Greece kept overthrowing the first democracies, we still fail to find a better way to avoid self-destruction of the human race in spite of sacrifices by millions of heroes and patriots who gave their lives for America.— April 3, 2014 3:30 p.m.
Media publication says Manchester might sell
Don, do we have any people like Ben Franklin around today to restore American Democracy for We The People instead of the Oligarchy/Plutocracy that SCOTUS sold us out to?— April 3, 2014 2:44 p.m.
Letter sent by San Diego Opera board members today
Don, glad I finally said something that might be truly useful for San Diego. I'll buy tickets if you produce it, you could be our next Wagner and San Diego needs all the help we can get to stop the crashing and burning:)— March 29, 2014 12:06 p.m.
Letter sent by San Diego Opera board members today
Don, someone needs to write and produce one more opera before it's over, like "Paradise Plundered" to commemorate our dysfunctional city that crashed and burned when Pope Doug took control of San Diego politics, culture and economy. This might save the San Diego Opera, the Balboa Park Centennial and America's Finest City.— March 29, 2014 3:30 a.m.
Will San Onofre settlement help ratepayers?
This has not been a good week for San Diego Don, with the failures of the Opera and Balboa Park Centennial, then we are told that our politicians are continuing to be allowed to threaten us with out of control water and power rates because of gross criminal negligence by the plutocracy that has overthrown our democracy.— March 28, 2014 3:36 a.m.
Opera president denies ugliest rumors
If you so Don, meanwhile Manchester shall continue to use his media power to replace the arts and education with football as the decline of culture in San Diego continues.— March 28, 2014 3:24 a.m.
Opera president denies ugliest rumors
Don, the most consistently reliable news source about San Diego politics is your column. On the other hand, since Manchester bought out the U-T to give himself absolute control over San Diego politics he has given U-T the entirely new meaning of Untruthful-Tabloid. The most overwhelming fact of life today in San Diego is that Manchester now uses the U-T for controlling politics with a constant effluent of editorial mendacities as well as cover-ups for the same purpose. Manchester's power makes him a major cause of every San Diego social, political and economic failure, it's that simple.— March 27, 2014 3:09 p.m.
San Diego water: You will pay
Don, most ironically, according to VOSD San Diego has been chosen as "one of just 18 cities from around the world that will be showcased in a three-year National Geographic TV series on “smart cities” that local leaders hope will elevate the region’s stature as a global player.----San Diego's reputation as both a livable city and home to respected academic and research institutions appealed to National Geographic." I guess National Geographic isn't up to date on our cultural, political, economic and environmental death spiral failures in leadership, tabloid news media, the Opera and Balboa Park Centennial plus our hideous refusal to face up to the water crisis as if we were a herd of buffalo being massacred while no one is paying attention to the deaths of others beside them. If we are one of the 18 in the world, God Help the Rest of the World and the human race.— March 27, 2014 1:21 p.m.
San Diego water: You will pay
Don, this latest drought scenario, specifically our failure to take it seriously is proving that our decline and fall phase is accelerating. Academic/political failures to deal with it and lawn watering are our worst case scenario failure mode. Your investigative reports are the only hope we have left to motivate us to save ourselves.— March 27, 2014 3:17 a.m.
San Diego water: You will pay
Prof. Erie is absolutely correct “When half of our water is dumped on lawns, people should be forced to go to desertscaping,”. And as long as politicians and scientists fail to create combined power-desalination plants along our coast we shall fail to produce an acceptable quality of life for future generations. Ike gravely warned us best in his 1961 Farewell Address: "The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded." UC failed to overcome Ike's grave warning and instead chose to fail to protect our future by selling out to the power of money supplied to them by the military-industrial-corporate complex as their highest priority. It was far easier than actually thinking and doing the right thing. We have our heads in the sand and sand shall become our future.— March 26, 2014 3:38 p.m.
