San Diego bicyclists get state protection from aggro drivers
I would think walking - or even riding - your bike on the sidewalk would be a better option in that scenario. Riding in the middle of a lane and impeding traffic might be legal but it is certainly rude and inconsiderate.— September 29, 2013 8:34 p.m.
San Diego bicyclists get state protection from aggro drivers
Then I don't understand your sentence "Bicyclists, by law, are allowed to ride in the middle of a lane, sometimes angering motorists.". Why would a motorist be angry at a cyclist riding in the middle of a lane unless the cyclist is slowing down the driver?— September 27, 2013 12:13 p.m.
San Diego bicyclists get state protection from aggro drivers
While drivers should be as careful as possible around bicyclists, cyclists need to show some common sense and respect to drivers. Riding a bike in the middle of a lane and slowing down the driver behind you is incredibly rude, irresponsible and stupid.— September 26, 2013 9:47 p.m.
Magazine tells clearly how NFL fleeces taxpayer
There are a lot of ways that a new stadium could be financed. The big question is whether any form of public financing for a stadium is justified in terms of net return to the taxpayers. Most "studies" paid for by sports owners and their lobbyists indicate there is justification. In contrast, to my knowledge ALL studies done by academic or think tank researchers - who don't have a heavy financial incentive to get a certain answer - have found that in the vast majority of cases there is no justification.— September 23, 2013 2:01 p.m.
American households ailing; Wall Street rejoices
I think this is a case of "trickle down" not trickling. The theory seemed to be if Wall Street is doing well, the economy will do well and that will be good for everybody. If we had to have gov't and Fed intervention think it would have been better to stimulate from the bottom - more tax cuts and benefits for the lower to middle classes would have given relief to ordinary consumers and kept the economy going. BTW I think the argument "If X is doing well then it benefit the economy (national or local) as a whole and that will be good for everybody. Therefore we should give some tax money to X" is really at the heart of a lot of scams these days. X could be sports stadia, public employee unions, Wall Street, banks, higher education, etc.— September 23, 2013 12:13 p.m.
Wells Fargo beats the Vista merchant who can't speak or read English
I don't think it should be legal to sign away basic rights like these. If they can put in a forum selection clause what else can they put in? Judge selection? Jury selection?— September 17, 2013 5:19 p.m.
Wells Fargo beats the Vista merchant who can't speak or read English
I'm no lawyer but somehow the idea of a "forum selection clause" seems inherently wrong. It seems to me both plaintiff and defendant should get to have the same rules in terms of which court the suit is filed in.— September 16, 2013 10:37 p.m.
Qualcomm's Jacobs fishing for funds for Fletcher
And meanwhile, the Jacobs family is reaching out it's silver ladle for gravy from the sports arena gravy train up in Sacramento...— September 9, 2013 7:39 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
All that stuff will be small potatoes if the monster mother of all corporate welfare projects - the San Diego / Tijuana 2024 Summer Olympics - somehow comes true.— August 30, 2013 8:17 p.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
The point I am making is not even debatable yet you continue to debate me. Let me try making my point again. If Donna Frye is to be believed, then there were women who DIRECTLY told Donna Frye that they were harassed by Filner. That is NOT hearsay from Donna Frye's perspective. If your definition of hearsay is so broad that anything not said in court of law is hearsay then that is a ridiculous definition. Donna Frye didn't appoint herself judge or jury. She made her opinions about Filner's behavior public and stated her reasons for her opinion - which she has every right to do. If she was lying Filner has every right to sue her for slander and/or libel - I haven't heard a peep about anything like that happening.— August 30, 2013 5:52 p.m.
