Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
Interesting alternative solution Yankeedoodle, the Bonobos at the San Diego Zoo appear to have a lot more fun than the people looking in at them. Since human males and females keep failing to solve our problems with each other, maybe we should let the Bonobos go free and put humans in zoos as the ultimate solution to preventing further destruction of the earth.— July 27, 2013 2:52 p.m.
Bankrupt Detroit to subsidize hockey arena for billionaire
Don, one interesting fact of life is that Detroit, like Chicago, have had corrupt democratic political leadership as a way of life. Again, one wonders if American Democracy can survive federal, state and local politicians who have no integrity, and far too many sexual predators, that the majority of voters keep enabling. With Powers That Be like Manchester and Filner, one wonders how close San Diego is to bankruptcy when the majority of our leaders fail the tests of honor and morality daily. Meanwhile. Manchester keeps proving daily that propaganda still rules, just like his role model Goebbels proved until we bombed Germany back to the stone age, for a little while at least. And Filner is the gift that keeps on giving to Manchester at the expense of the Democratic Party that is as dysfunctional in San Diego as it is in Detroit and Chicago.— July 27, 2013 2:16 p.m.
Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
Don, the fact is that too many of us, who feel we do have control of our emotions, are in denial about Filner. However, it is even more hopeless when even the four women leaders interviewed by KPBS on Thursday had to admit they failed to protect women when they had opportunities to prevent sexual acts against other women from occurring. Most telling though, one woman leader did admit that women fear professional retribution if they take action to protect other women. This is a root cause cultural failure mode that has been destroying any possibility of a permanent solution.— July 27, 2013 1:48 p.m.
Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
Let's get this straight guys, *Filner is totally unacceptable under any circumstance* now that he has attacked women vocally and physically. We must produce a new era immediately where **WOMEN'S RIGHTS MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS WITH ZERO TOLERANCE** from male predators like Filner, Duke, Bill Clinton, Schwarzenegger, Petraeus ad nauseum. The way things are going today, we males are devolving into chimpanzees since male leaders of all institutions, cultures and societies have totally failed to protect and respect women.— July 27, 2013 12:39 p.m.
Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
Good Grief Don, the demos are in trouble in San Diego if there is not one democratic woman who will take Filner's place, because Filner is totally unacceptable in this new era when women's rights must be protected at all costs with zero tolerance for scumbags like Filner ("Duke" v.2013).— July 27, 2013 12:06 p.m.
Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
Don, are you saying that there is no San Diego woman in the Democratic Party with more honor, integrity, morals and expertise than DeMaio?— July 26, 2013 2:08 p.m.
Mayor to take off two weeks for therapy
As of now it has been proven beyond all doubt that Filner has no morals and no honor at all. Democratic party leaders must force his resignation immediately or Manchester will achieve his most deranged dreams. However, it was also proven during the KPBS interview of four women leaders yesterday that it is way past due time for all women to fight like hell to achieve total equality and rights in 2013. Male leaders/chimpanzees in all institutions (social, political, economic, religious, scientific, education, etc.) have failed the tests of humanity and it is time for women to takeover leadership today or our newest and all future generations will have a legacy that will provide them with a totally unacceptable quality of life.— July 26, 2013 1:45 p.m.
Questions about McCormack Jackson suit
Don, the paramount fact is that Donna Fry and Susan Davis have infinite integrity compared to Filner who has no integrity. To question their judgement is to sell out females to male predators. Filner is a role model male whose amygdala is no more controlled by his prefrontal cortex than that of a chimpanzee. For a woman to be alone in a room with Filner is like tossing them into a chimpanzee cage. Filner sold out the integrity of half the demo committee that refused to fight back for women against predators like Filner, and the committee split achieved Manchester's most deranged dream. This horror story at least proves that male democratic politicians are no better than male republican politicians, and that is the worst problem that American Democracy has today.— July 24, 2013 2:14 p.m.
Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
Don I agree with all of your readers who have the greatest respect for your investigative reporting and opinions. Far too many men (especially powers that be) still fail to give women proper respect, and we still refuse to ratify the ERA, which are major social and cultural failures that are preventing far too many Americans and peoples around the world today, as well as future generations from having an acceptable quality of life. Thus a worst case scenario fact of life about our civilization today is that all of our worldwide social and cultural institutions are dominated by men who marginalize women, which is our greatest biological limitation that prevents our civilization from perpetuating an acceptable quality of life for all future generations. We must do better, and today is a great day to begin fixing our failed cultural values, starting with actually practicing equal rights for women, including zero tolerance for sexual harassment.— July 12, 2013 3:40 a.m.
How corrupt is Congress? Here's an indication
"Former Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña says she told the Democratic Party that Filner had physically or verbally harassed six prominent women." as just reported to VOSD. http://voiceofsandiego.org/2013/07/11/ex-legislat… Apparently Don is once again most correct when he says we can't trust either party.— July 11, 2013 2:02 p.m.
