San Diegans Arthur Lipper and Richard Russell on the current gloom
Evolutionary biologists have proven that the most unfortunate fact for humanity is that greed is wired into our DNA. Politicians in both political parties are the worst-case examples of the failure of democracy due to the forces of greed. Your reporting alone more than proves that point Don. This makes it imperative that Gen Y fight back in a whole new way because the old news and communications technology ways, before the World Wide Web and hand held personal communications devices, have failed us completely to properly motivate previous generations (at least not since the civil rights and anti-Viet Nam war activists of the 60s and 70s) considering all the things that are going wrong today. With the evolving worldwide community and global conversations Gen Y has the capability to overcome the “Us” vs. “Them” polarizations that have taken us down the paths of failure for far too long. Gen Y must produce a whole new culture of leadership to meet the new challenges of change, and Gen Y can make that happen by participating more aggressively in the political process with the newest technologies that they were raised to use.— June 23, 2008 4:36 a.m.
San Diegans Arthur Lipper and Richard Russell on the current gloom
It’s time to stop whining about all the things that are going wrong, time to begin implementing solutions instead. The fact is that it is up to Gen Y to save their own future because all generations before them have failed to do the right things to even protect our own present. Gen Y has the advantage of being the first generation coming of age into the new world of emerging global conversation technologies such as podcasts, blogs, MySpace, etc. which enable them to discuss, participate, co-create and implement solutions to worldwide problems from alternative-energy to disaster recovery and beyond as citizens of the new global community.— June 22, 2008 5:16 a.m.
Ignoring Phony Accounting, Peters Tells NY Times That San Diego's Pension System Is In Good Shape
Response to post #18: I sure hope the SDLWV "Easy Voter Guide," your columns and blogs and The Reader negate the "entrenched corrupt power" editorials and op-eds in the U-T or we are screwed regardless of the efforts of civic champions like Norma Damashek, you, Francis, Aguirre and Frye. Your next issue tomorrow will be extremely important in getting the word out before the June 3 election next Tuesday to make the right things happen to restore honor and integrity to San Diego politics.— May 27, 2008 1:39 p.m.

Response to post #16: "So which is it?" is a most interesting question indeed. Actually both republican and democratic leaders have failed us at all levels of government, which makes it even more of a dilemma. At this point we appear to be left with choosing the candidates we believe in the most as a result of their efforts in our behalf, and vote for what they recommend. In San Diego that pretty much means considering whatever Francis, Aguirre and Frye recommend. And the San Diego League of Women Voters also provide some information to think about, such as their Easy Voter Guide: http://www.easyvoter.org/— May 27, 2008 12:48 a.m.

Too bad AG Moonbeam (formerly known as Gov. Moonbeam) made a decision that supported the corrupt U-T puppeticians. Hard to believe that Moonbeam used to be a democrat, he must be following in Nader’s footsteps now. Anyway, let's hope the brain-dead republicans in the "below 10 percent on a per capita basis, and below 30 percent on a household basis" class don't make the difference with their zombie-like voting of the "U-T Ballot Recommendations" again like they have in the past when they elected Golding, then Murphy, then Sanders et al.— May 26, 2008 12:04 p.m.

Response to post #25 & 34: Times are changing Don, the idyllic days of the mythical America's Finest City are dead and while people are getting a lot more interested in what the U-T era of corruption during Golding, Murphy and Sanders administrations did to us they still do not even begin to appreciate the enabling that corruption that our courts perpetuate even though former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor gave us a Citizens Beware opinion in a well read Sunday supplement for those who still read newspapers and think about what is happening to us. Today we have one more chance, to elect Francis and re-elect Aguirre, and the only journal in San Diego that can get the word out on a mass distribution scale is The Reader. So your editions that immediately precede the June 3 election are all the more important. The generations that Obama represents in San Diego need a Don Bauder Wake Up Call loud and clear today to get out the vote for Francis and Aguirre or they shall be well and truly screwed ad infinitum by their own indifference, like the generations that preceded them have done to ourselves already.— May 19, 2008 1:40 a.m.

Response to post #22: June 3 is almost here and it would help to know if Davies was packing the court with anymore sycophants to perpetuate his Brash Cash Bloodsucker corruption. One would think that if Archon Solon could fix the corrupt courts of 6th century B.C. Athens, then The Reader could restore the Rule of Law in 21st century San Diego.— May 18, 2008 1:53 a.m.

Response to post #20: We could start with the judges that the U-T/Davies mob put on the court to help them rob San Diego taxpayers.— May 17, 2008 11:20 a.m.

Response to post #8: "I wonder" is about all we are allowed to do in San Diego. Let's face it Don, it's a waste of time to go after corrupt politicians and their bloodsucker masters as long as corrupt judges keep overthrowing the Rule of Law, protecting the culture of corruption. Former Supreme Court Justice O'Connor has warned us that until corrupt judges are exposed corrupt U-T politicians will continue to serve their masters and San Diego will continue to evolve into a third world city.— May 17, 2008 1:51 a.m.

Response to post #2 : "-- or these publications were slanting their prose to the mayor." Yup Don, there can be no doubt at whatsoever! The "two media outlets" make their living covering up for their puppeticians, and the judges make it even easier for them to get away with robbing the taxpayers and creating a third world lifestyle for San Diego.— May 16, 2008 11:01 a.m.
