University of California's skewed take on Title IX
Let's get universities out of the investigating crimes business. If you think there was a rape, call the cops. If someone's indicted, suspend them. If they're convicted, expel them. I'm sick and tired of accusations of certain crimes becoming proof of guilt.— October 13, 2015 2:40 p.m.
California imposes no-chew law for big leagues
It's really tough to articulate how you're being deprived of your freedom or rights or property because someone else is chewing tobacco, or smoking, or smoking pot. If you don't like smoke, you can move away, or tell others they cannot smoke on your property, or tell the property owner, "They go or I do" I quit smoking 20 years ago, but I wholeheartedly believe that any business should be free to allow smoking, and we should be free to choose to patronize them or not, and they can succeed or fail depending on how many people agree with their decision.— October 13, 2015 8:14 a.m.
Bill Kolender’s long goodbye
More like proof that we're malleable. Cristopher Columbus was celebrated for a historic achievement. That's to be thrown away in favor of celebrating people for... what? Existing? "Native Americans" were far more brutal to each other than the "white man" ever was. This is nothing more than bleating, hand-wringing political correctness run absolutely insane.— October 12, 2015 3:53 p.m.
Mission Valley development machine cranks up
So there's plenty of water for newcomers, just not enough for those who already live here? Brilliant thought process. Positively brilliant! You, sir, have a bright future in politics!— October 12, 2015 3:48 p.m.
California imposes no-chew law for big leagues
What else should be banned because it's bad for us? Or might be bad for us? Or someone else thinks it's bad for us? Or it isn't good for us? Or not good enough? Cigarettes? Alcohol? Fast food? Red meat? Bread? Cheese? Chewing is stupid. Moronically stupid. But if we aren't free to make stupid choices, how are we free?— October 12, 2015 3:46 p.m.
Mission Valley development machine cranks up
Where's the water supposed to come from? There should be a complete moratorium on building permits for new residential structures until the so-called "drought" is declared to be over and I can water my lawn or wash my car.— October 12, 2015 2:19 p.m.
Border crossing rules have changed at San Ysidro
A-Freaking-Men! 100% dead on. And I had never heard of Gonzaga Bay, I just had to Google it ;-) A lot of the people who focus on Mexico's warts are the same who studiously ignore our own warts here in the US. I still firmly believe that the US is the greatest nation in the world, but we have faults, some of them serious, some of those quite a bit worse than some of the faults in other nations. I intend to spend more vacation time in Mexico. And I'll be thrilled if the hordes stay away in fear :-)— October 12, 2015 11:23 a.m.
Gov. Brown vetoes bills to reform utilities commission
Davis needed to go. We elected Arnold to "fix the state", and then refused to support him when he tried to do just that. The Governor Schwarzenegger we wound up with was the one we worked for with our actions, even if that was contrary to the one we said we wanted with our words. Brown is a senile old gasbag and should be recalled, too. If we wind up with yet another bad Governor, well, that's our own fault, not because we "upset the apple cart".— October 12, 2015 11:20 a.m.
Border crossing rules have changed at San Ysidro
Ponzi - thanks for the great post! I'm going to be in Ensenada this weekend via a cruise, and I've already begun thinking about planning a longer stay for the wine region. Hopefully, lots of gringos are still scared of big bad May-Hee-Co and will stay away... I hate crowds!— October 12, 2015 11:15 a.m.
Bitcoin ATM machine for Ocean Beach
This drivel isn't even worthy of the term "article", or even "opinion piece"... it's a cheap hack job that looks like it was written by an eight grader with either a baseless, uninformed opinion or who had a bad experience with bitcoins. Don, this garbage is completely beneath you, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You're capable of much more. Please do some real research into bitcoins, what they are, how they work, why they exist, etc. then write an article... IF you can write as an impartial observer. Fred Williams wrote a pretty good summary, but you just casually dismissed it. FWIW, I am not a "bitcoin nerd", I don't have any, never tried mining, and in general I think it's a flawed experiment. Not using them is the right choice for me. But I won't tell anyone else to stay far, far away simply because I see no value in them... I'll just tell them to keep their eyes, ears, and mind open and to educate themselves before participating.— October 12, 2015 11:08 a.m.
