UCSD = UC Seeking Diversity

How devilishly ironic! Just take a look at the LJ CHRISTMAS Parade (http://www.ljparade.com/). DEFINITELY not a religiously neutral name. Do the major sponsors: PARADE SPONSOR Audrey S. Geisel, SD Foundation, Dr. Seuss Fund MAJOR SPONSORS La Jolla Management Company • The Albergram • La Jolla Country Market • Sycamore Court • Village Corner • The Wall Street Building Merrill Lynch Wealth Management San Diego Board of Supervisors Funded by Supervisor Ron Roberts DIVISION SPONSORS Bache Family John Barbey Capital Growth Properties John & Karin Donaldson Peter Farrell Florence Riford La Jolla Community Fund at The San Diego Foundation Cindy Greatrex La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club La Valencia Hotel McGrory Family Fund ARTS & EDUCATION SPONSORS Ray & Gina Ellis Citrus Public Relations Kiwanis Club of La Jolla Preuss Family Foundation YOUTH SPONSORS Bill & Claudia Allen June Ash Bank of America Blanchard, Krasner & French Casey & Tiffany Brown California Bank & Trust Harry & Valerie Cooper Gail Forbes Hudson & Mary Drake James & Joy Furby Mike & Julie Furby Marathon Construction Corporation La Jolla Music Scott & Betsy McClendon James & Elspeth Myer Price Family Charitable Fund Robert A. Collins Company Glenda Rothberg Don & Linda Swortwood Torrey Pines Bank Ruth Yansic ... realize that since 2005 there has been a calling to switch CHRISTMAS to COMMUNITY in the parade's title? Are these people still living in the 1950's? Is there an attitude of "we are the enclave" of La Jolla? Does the label "Hoity-Toity" apply to us? Should we wonder why Wisconsin-based law professor Linda Greene had a difficult time of it? Teddy Rodosovich, LJDIG (La Jolla Diversity and Inclusiveness Group) OBTW, give a check to what every other major event around the Winter Solstice calls itself.

Filner, Goldsmith slated to meet tomorrow

Does anybody else see parallels to this circus with another large influential organization ... ? ... called the Catholic Church?

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Soledad_cross_… Legal tricks of the "believers" seek to best what the Catholic Church did to Galileo. BUT, before Galileo ... there was Giordano Bruno: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno#A_mar…

Mr./Ms. Duh - "Not just a few of those have already testified that they welcome the cross and hope it remains." Please provide the specifics of the valid scientific poll you reference (inferred). "Maybe to a few, a definite minority." ditto the above poll. "But the matter of the cross staying or being removed doesn't change the fact that it is now, and will remain a memorial to those who served and those who gave their lives." Ahhhhh, see my above comment about 1/2 lives (entropy, Sell/consume by date). " intended to honor those who died in the service of the United States." The Rev. (Hill)Billy Graham, thru a pathogenic umbilical cord he and his ilk established with the ofc of the POTUS, fused Christianity and Patriotism. i.e. To be a Patriot one must be a Christian. To be a Christian one must be a patriot. Thus, the wall separating gov't from religion became blurred. You need to spend a little time with the sites au.org, http://militaryatheists.org/ and http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/. ... OK, Duh?

The Cross will be removed. It is a matter of time & a basic understanding of the relationship between government and religion. Nothing is forever. There are "Sell by" and "Consume by" dates on almost everything, eh? Newton's 2nd Law of Thermodynamics - timeflow "carries" matter in the universe towards chaos ... still rules, I believe?
