New State Law Prohibiting Street-Corner Sale of Puppies Goes Into Effect
A gang member from Vista received work furlough after being caught fighting pit bulls. I heard through the grapvine that the judge was afraid to impose a stiffer sentence because of who the guy was. == I hope that is not the case.....— January 1, 2012 10:52 a.m.
Supreme Court Knocks Out Redevelopment Agencies
Back in the early 1990's when the NP Theater was shut down I had a client that was very interested in buying it and restoring it. City wouldn't even meet with us. They wanted to do a deal with a special interest person who wanted to make it-get this- a gymnastics center. Long story short it sat empty many many years past he point my client was looking at it, and of course produced no income from property taxes nor anything else.........cronyism is rampant in gov-at all levels. This is one in a list of hundreds of problems I encoutnered with local gov in real estate.— January 1, 2012 9:59 a.m.

It's all worth it, though, because while the city goes bankrupt you have a nice place to live with shops, restaurants and clubs in what should be a working blue-collar warehouse district. While they are at it, can't they relocate all those smelly fishing boats, cargo piers and unsightly marine repair docks someplace out of your sight, like maybe Santee By paul 1:08 a.m., Dec 31, 2011 == This post by Paul- all of it not just the passage I posted- hits the nail squarly on the head, and is abotu as close as anyone I have seen document the problem in a few paragraphs.— January 1, 2012 9:56 a.m.

I am an elderly gentleman and you say I have a "bright and shiny squeaky wheel." === I think Mudville Mike meant a "blight" and shiny squeaky wheel!— January 1, 2012 9:53 a.m.

Doing the Deed on a Pig Farm
animals are only capable of showing certain behaviors that we might possibly associate with love. It is using aesthetics in order to justify a position. / / ...the usual conclusion that is reached is that love is intangible. == Isn't love a behavior? Of course it is. So animals, like us, can love. No one can convince me otherwise.— December 31, 2011 11:25 p.m.
Doing the Deed on a Pig Farm
Refri v Oeconomist= good arguments. Is man not just a higher level intelligence animal? Don't know, just asking. I must say that as a dog lover I think animals are capable of love. Just MHO. In fact I know they are.— December 31, 2011 5:54 p.m.
Three Arrested at Occupy San Diego; SDPD Sgt. "Was Hearing Voices"
11.It would certainly be the ultimate in civil disobedience if everyone arrested did NOT take the plea, and instead insisted in a trial. This way you flood the court calendar. == NEVER, EVER take a plea deal on a misdemeanor accusation if you're not guilty, in felony trials where long jail terms are involved it could be worth it to take a plea even if you're innocent. But NEVER on a misdemeanor. Invoke your right to a speedy trial, within 45 days if you're out of custody- 30 days if you're in custody (misdemenaors) and tell it to a jury. In CA (lucky for us) all citizens in this state are guaranteed a right to a jury trial in all misdemeanor cases(and felony criminal cases but not on infractions though) under the CA Constitution. Even if there is no jail time involved, which is a much stronger protectiion than the US Constitution where you are only entitled to a jury trial in cases where the term of confinement is in excess of 6 months, I LOVE CA!!!!!!!— December 31, 2011 5:49 p.m.

I caught the sarcasm! San Diego, IMO, is the greatest city in the USA. Although every place has its brightg spots-even ice cold East Lansing MI where I webt to school, YThsi si and always will be my home. I love many parts of Orange County too, a few parts of Malibu, but San Diego is tops in my book. I am just so sad that the state, and basically every muni in it including San Diego, has been Hi-jacked by special interests where the connected few and wrecked it for everyone else and we are all so far behind the 8-ball we can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.........and it jsut doesn't seem to be getting any better.— December 31, 2011 5:09 p.m.
