Wake Up, Speak Up
Well at least pawsinsd spoke up. The others who were so eager to speak anonymously are remarkably silent now.— April 13, 2010 5 p.m.
Jesus "H" Christ
Apparently it stands for Harold. Which would have been my guess. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_H._Christ— April 13, 2010 1:40 p.m.

Daniels, you are intelligent and well-educated. Surely you know that your angst is not justified by the state of education in this country. One must keep a sense of (historical) perspective. A hundred years ago how many children even went to school? How many graduated? How many went to college? By almost any metric, children's education has improved, and it continues to improve. There are factors that are not easily overcome and that will hold some children back from getting everything they can out of the education they are offered. It has occurred to me that the reason many teenagers and adults act so idiotic nowadays is not because they lack for anything, but because life has gotten too complicated; at least they can excel in refusing to think: being stupider as a refuge. Anyway, this discussion is way above my paygrade. Y'all fight it out while I take a little snooze elsewheres.— April 13, 2010 1:34 p.m.
Wake Up, Speak Up
In all my time I have only known of one person who was kicked off a recreation council by the council itself, and that was because when asked this guy would not declare whether he was a resident, or a business owner, or why he was there. The rec council had asked repeatedly, had queried staff who had no idea, even found out where he worked (way across town), but the guy stubbornly refused to say, and so he was dismissed from serving. The reason most rec council bylaws require that members live in, or own a business, in the area of the council they want to serve on is obvious, pawsin. Most councils are pretty small, anywhere from fifteen to thirty members, and most people know the other members, why they are there, who they are affiliated with, where they live or work. Virtually all of the members have some well-known interest for being there. So that when they bring forward an issue or concern, or vote on a matter pending before the rec council, their reasons are valid and their motives understood. Thus when the matter moves on to the next level, everyone can feel pretty confident that they are acting in the best interests of the City.— April 13, 2010 8:40 a.m.

They may be willing to provide their real names, Grasca. More to the point, one should ask them what advisory groups and committees and boards have they served on and for how long.— April 12, 2010 11:39 p.m.

Oh please. The world isn't coming to an end because only eggheads get SD on the QT. The rest of us will laugh with Sarah Palin, not at her. :)— April 12, 2010 11:09 p.m.

LOLOL!!! Thanks for this, Shane! :)— April 12, 2010 10:40 p.m.

Grasca, unfortunately that's how some people are. They would prefer to insult you by insisting you are corrupt than to actually admit they are stupid, ignorant, or just plain wrong. Thank you for all you do for the citizens of San Diego, which people like this will never know, understand, or appreciate. It is people like you who are dedicated and committed volunteers that improve San Diego's Parks and Rec Centers for all of us.— April 12, 2010 10:01 p.m.

Thanks, Joe, I did consider it. :)— April 12, 2010 10 a.m.
Do you like your name?
It's every way complicated, Daniels.— April 12, 2010 1:26 a.m.
