New faces at CPUC. But new broom unlikely
"Don Bauder that was my exact point. The CPUC is a constitutional entity. Any changes as to the nature of it's make up would have to be done via a constitutional amendment. Many people have commented that it needs to be done differently, yet none of them seem to want to actually get involved in the process. They piss and moan about the way things are done and say things need to change, but that's it." And, regarding ballot initiatives: "Despite the extremely high rates of the California publicly-held, for-profit utilities, I am not sure that enough people would show the interest to get the ouster movement going." Optimism is the only option, Don. One reason scientists and other academics have so little effect on our collective destiny is that they give one paper, publish once in some obscure journal, and than lament that that the ignorant public doesn't care. Think about how toothpaste is sold. Repetition, repetition, repetition. "Agitate, agitate, agitate!" --The dying words of Frederick Douglass Circulate, circulate, circulate! Now that the Internet makes it easy, there's no excuse for not spreading the word. It's happening, but mostly for raves and coordinated attacks. Look to the current generation. And join them.— December 26, 2014 5:57 p.m.

Another Kent State might be likely, but more likely, people will just "disappear." A retired policeman told me that the quality of the average policeman has declined precipitously in the last decade or so . . . He never fired his weapon, but worked in a crime-ridden neighborhood and arrested criminals and nutcases with nothing more than his nightstick. Now, the boys in blue just love to waste people. Read/see "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Lonely Are the Brave." Maybe "Robin Hood" too . . . And, "follow the money." And were have all the flowers gone . . . ?— December 26, 2014 5:46 p.m.

Redact, my Aspidistra! Certainly there're any number of slaves in the Peevish court who would like to feed information to a trustworthy investigative reporter like Bauder, but CA doesn't have a CA Huf 'n Puff Post, and the dailies have all had their fangs excised. Which reminds me--ladies (wherefore art y'all?) and gentlemen, we must exorsize our rights! Bulk up! Bare some wait! Seriously, folks, feed DB some dirt! He won't divulge his sources!!!— December 26, 2014 5:18 p.m.

But Don, the bell is tolling!! I've got you a preposition for! Unless that is a undignity up with which you will not put!— December 26, 2014 5:05 p.m.

A thousand thousand watts for one dollar and forty-three cents in Sacramento? Maybe I'll become a lobbyist and move to Sacramento . . . I am really peeved about this inequity!— December 22, 2014 10:27 a.m.
White-knuckle descent
SAN's great safety record may be largely due to the high pucker-factor. Keeps the pilots on their toes--no stews in their laps. Do y'all bee-lieve everything every yahoo says?— December 19, 2014 5:56 p.m.
Marine says ranger roughed him up
Please click on the link at the beginning of the article or here http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/06/06/3965323_marin… and read the piece. Then, please post whether or not you intend to modify your remarks.— December 17, 2014 8:52 p.m.

Shirley, we need more women who respond to this blog. Thanks for your contributions. You're remarks are spot-on. Don, Shirley is saying the "ranger" was a moron, not that you said so. Please re-read her posts. Any "peace" officer (as I believe they still should be termed) that tries to hand out kangaroo-court justice on the spot is, well, something like a moron, an idiot, or any of the vast number of less polite and more politically-correct terms. Ok, "bad judgment." Whatever, as long as he/she actually learns the fundamental lesson that her/his job is LIMITED to the law, and that "surmise, surprise" is a no-no!— December 17, 2014 8:45 p.m.

"Different" alright--well-founded and fact-founded and ill-founded.— December 17, 2014 8:29 p.m.
