DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
P.S. "FREE OB" If Baja OB won't work for my fellow citizens of OB, maybe La Jolla would consider being called Norte OB. Don, we just spent a wonderful week in and around Dillon, CO during the peak of the aspen season and noticed they have a most terrific reservoir full of water while we walked along it a few weeks ago. Do you think they might consider being annexed to OB, or maybe they could consider annexing OB? We also noticed that the bike paths next to I70 have to be some of the best in the world. And they also have the great Arapahoe Cafe that we ate at almost every day. And I just know they would love to Surf OB, shop and eat in the Newport Ave. area, walking on our pier at sunset, biking to Cabrillo Monument, falling in love with our palm trees, etc. in return.— November 6, 2010 5:12 a.m.

Response to post #5 7 & 10: Go for it SurfPuppy! San Diego families need all the champions we can get to overthrow the destructive political corruption that is destroying San Diego quality of life. I would also love to see OB secede along with La Jolla, maybe we could become something like Baja La Jolla (especially since we are already a peninsula).— November 6, 2010 4:28 a.m.

Response to post #122: Two specific threats against California university public education and UC academicians that we must be most concerned about today are: 1) UC Board of Regents' threats against public education that academicians are not allowed to discuss in public because it involves use of UC funds by Feinstein-Blum are documented in: "The University of California invests $53 million in two diploma mills controlled by UC Regents chairman Richard C. Blum --- The bottom line is that UC is investing tens of millions of public dollars in two for-profit school chains largely controlled by a regent and Wall Street arbitrager who sits on UC’s investment committee. Shown the documentation used to support this story Noah Stern, president of Associated Students at the University of California, says, “Student trust in the Regents was already shaky. In light of this revelation of investment abuse, we need a structural overhaul of the university governance system.” http://www.metroactive.com/features/diploma-mills… 2) "GOP plans attacks on the EPA and climate scientists If Republicans win control of the House, they plan to go after the Obama administration's environmental policies and the researchers who have offered evidence on global warming, whom they accuse of manipulating data." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la… These GOP Chinese Communist like threats against Freedom of Speech specifically involve threats against world class IPCC climate change scientists at UCSD/SIO.— November 6, 2010 4:02 a.m.

Response to post #113: a2zresource, I respect Don also, but we need him most right where he is right now, trying to prove that the pen can be mightier than the sword once again, and tell the truth about political propaganda that threatens Democracy more than ever before. We still have Freedom of Speech, but it takes people like Ben Franklin and Don to produce and perpetuate it, especially in an era where far to many politicians once again want to take it away from us just like the Tories tried to do in the 18th century. We live in a time that is so bad that even our university academicians are threatened to be politically correct or lose Freedom of Speech themselves.— November 5, 2010 8:34 a.m.

Reply #74 & 94: "We have no leaders." Right On SurfPuppy and Don. As of now, our politicians have failed to accept accountability (like Sanders' use of taxpayer funds for personal wealth), our business leaders have failed the test of giving a damn about quality of life for all San Diegans (like all the crooks that Don keeps exposing ad infinitum), our university leaders have failed the test of responsibility (like UC Board of Regents' use of UC funding as personal piggy bank instead of public education), and our church leaders have failed the tests of morality (like failures to actually practice the Ten Commandments).— November 5, 2010 5:37 a.m.

Response to poste #87: "Agreed. Republican and Democratic larceny are both intolerable -- but, unfortunately, unstoppable." Don, your conclusion looks like an epitaph for our entire civilization since history proves that extinction is the only consequence of social, political and economic destruction, including never-ending wars, drought, pollution, monetary failure, disease, terrorism, poverty, overpopulation, immorality, avarice, gluttony, etc. failure modes that we are experiencing today. Our brain just hasn't evolved enough for us to overcome our culture of self-destruction. Have a nice day anyway.— November 5, 2010 4:32 a.m.

Response to post #44: Why haven't Feinstein and her husband Blum been exposed in San Diego like Peter Byrne has done in weeklies up in the Bay Area? If democrats are committing larceny as bad as the republicans shouldn't the public be made aware that we are being robbed by both parties at federal, state and local levels?— November 4, 2010 1:23 p.m.

Response to post #57: Yes Don, the U-T Editorial Board founded the Age of Larceny in San Diego that you keep exposing, perpetuated through their Puppet-Mayors Golding, Murphy and Sanders who made themselves and their special interests owners richer at the expense of public safety and quality of life in San Diego. San Diego will not be able to recover until the U-T goes out of business and is replaced by the "Reader" because the DA and FBI just look the other way refusing to save San Diego from destruction by corrupt politicians and judges in the meantime.— November 4, 2010 11:19 a.m.

Response to post #31: Actually, we must all be "on the lookout for larceny" against San Diego taxpayers because it is far worse than just City Hall. While doing some research on another corruption issue I ran across some investigative reports by Peter Byrne of Bohemiam.com (a Bay Area weekly similar to the "Reader"): "Senator Feinstein's Iraq Conflict As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to her husband's firms ---" http://www.bohemian.com/bohemian/08.08.07/byrne-0… As you say "San Diego is a good place to go hunting for thieves." But the more we investigate San Diego thieves, the more thieves we find that also have an unacceptable impact on San Diego taxpayers at the state and federal levels, and it's not just republicans.— November 3, 2010 1:19 p.m.

Response to post #6: Don, I thought that was what the "Reader" is for, to make the right things happen like motivating "Reader" readers to join a protest movement to save public safety from destruction by the U-T culture of corruption, like: RECALL "LARCENY" SANDERS (unless that won't fit on a bumper sticker provided by the "Reader" and you have to think of another catchy campaign slogan). Besides, corrupt politicians and their owners never read anything that they don't agree with anyway so hate mail never works on their kind, especially when they are spending all their time committing larceny. The "Reader" alone could fill every issue exposing their acts of larceny, which you come pretty close to doing already. However, we have to be most aware of U-T class voters like those that reelected "Duke II" Bilbray who are really out to overthrow Democracy altogether, so the problem is much worse than ending the U-T era of City Hall larceny alone.— November 3, 2010 11:07 a.m.
