Hands down, you do those things consistantly & professionally. You need to get PAID. Cuz what you do has REAL VALUE to us. When others infer otherwise, IMHO, they seem as cynical partisans, fearful of your opinion' weight at large. Their doggedly nagging comments remind me of signal jamming, trying to garble your message. Nothing new here, as far as I and many others are concerned. The well oiled & well practiced propaganda machine still runs in Osos, & you still stand tall against it. Hope out of area readers understand that you speak for many many of us here down in "Dogpatch" & we are inspired & grateful for the the brave actions of our duly elected LOCSD board. you are all grassroots at its best. happy thanksgivingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1132792807782847772005-11-23T16:40:00.000-08:002005-11-23T16:40:00.000-08:00Dear Inlet, Oh, I couldn't possibly overlook a cou...Dear Inlet, Oh, I couldn't possibly overlook a couple of comments in your "rant." <BR/>1."I am jealous of your wealth." My "wealth?" Boy, do you have me confused with somebody else.Have you seen the car I drive? Bwa-hahahahah. Oh, dear, sorry. <BR/>2. An OPINION column and an OPINION blog is supposed to be a "self-interested viewpoint designed to get people to agree." That's why it appears on the OPINION page of the paper, along with all the other self-interested viewpoints written by other OPINION mongers. Nothing abusive about it.<BR/><BR/>But by way of your defense, a lot of people confuse opinion columnists with "journalists." I've often had people come up to me and say, "I read your article . . ." and it turns out, they're refering to my letter to the editor or my column.Those are not "articles." <BR/><BR/>Opinion columnists and "journalists, are two distinct creatures with entirely distinct functions in the free speech "biz."Churadogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362538114791652208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1132769405990520402005-11-23T10:10:00.000-08:002005-11-23T10:10:00.000-08:00Of course there was never ever any harassment by s...Of course there was never ever any harassment by supporters of the previous board against supporters of the current board.<BR/>Saints all of them.

Otherwise you get harassed.<BR/><BR/>Their actions last night were actions that I would claim the majority of the community do not support. Furthermore, those actions will keep the citizens of this community and the property owners of this community from deciding for ourselves what we want to do. The issue Rob raised about it would be difficult if not impossible to bond is a good issue. I am sure that if the LOCSD gets back to the state today and says "we accept your deal and it will take us a week or so to work out some way of bonding the project until February" the SWRCB would view this positively. However the CSD last night chose to say "we think it won't likely work so we have to pass ... even though we might have wanted to take the deal it was too onerous."<BR/><BR/>The board's presentation last night could be summarized: <I>"Everything the previous board told you would happen if the recall and measure B were passed has occured and everything we told you wouldn't happen has ... in other words, we are either liars or unwise ... we can't decide ... in any case, <B>you</B> are screwed."</I>Shark Inlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308339749797881391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1132726608367972842005-11-22T22:16:00.000-08:002005-11-22T22:16:00.000-08:00Ann's journalistic investigation of this project a...Ann's journalistic investigation of this project and the issues surrounding it are as legitimate a journlaism as you will find around this shameless county. By the way, the narrows at the south end of Morro Bay is traditionally known as Shark's Inlet. Water clarity there during the last week to about five feet, full of bait & diving ducks...so polluted that it will take 160 million dollars & a town laid waste in order to make it right. Commercial oyster beds, must pure poison out there...Surely only the State knows what is best for us. Surely all criticism is harmful. Only obdience is wise. Too much inquiry and democracy is certainly too much for the riff raff to handle. Oh how I long for the even handed competence and clairity of Stan, Gordan, & Le Gross. WE LOVE YOU ANN.
