Nuclear waste on beach draws lawsuit
Don, amazing what the Kochs are doing to control America, and now the future of the human race. I wonder if they would have been tolerated by Plato's academy, bad enough that the oligarchs kept overthrowing Athenian Democracy so the Koch Oligarchy would have role models. I guess control of universities by oligarchs has been a way of life that has now made UC damn near useless for fighting back against Global Warming v.21C Oligarchs. Again, we really never learn from the lessons of history, and now we are paying the highest price in history for universities that look the other way because they have been indenturing themselves to oligarchs as a way of life for far too long. It is now obvious that the oligarchs even paid their universities to marginalize Ike's warning, along with UCSD's marginalization of Linus Pauling because he wanted Peace, etc. Even Ike got fed up of this when he gravely warned us about power of money over scholars in his 1961 Farewell Address.— November 9, 2015 2:54 a.m.
Nuclear waste on beach draws lawsuit
Very true Don, but I have also found far too many "Me First" professors throughout the social sciences who should really know better if anyone does, even they haven't learned from the lessons of history. And the most incredible fact of life is that university academics have become a culture of greed that refuses to unite even to save the human race from out of control global warming, inequalities and violence we are experiencing today throughout the world. They are producing no true leaders at all. We got fat, dumb and happy after the progress we made in the civil rights era of the 60s and 70s and developed a "look the other way" culture that dominates academia and society today, so we are losing civil rights again. And we still haven't ratified the 1972 ERA, a worst case scenario perpetuated by the culture of greed.— November 6, 2015 1:26 p.m.

Don, we are losing the battle against global warming because of greed and corruption in all social, political and economic sectors, and our newest generations are starting pay an increasingly horrible price for the failures of our generations that had the best opportunities in history. Jerry Brown, a democrat of all things, is making it worse, and our academics are watching and doing nothing while they protect their own right to be greedy as their highest priority. And the worst thing is that we have absolutely no FDRs and Churchills in the world today to lead us to protect the future for our newest generations.— November 6, 2015 11:51 a.m.

Right on Don "It is time for citizens to revolt." I voted for Jerry every time he ran for office, acts that I would now deeply regret if the republicans hadn't run even worse candidates every time. Jerry and his SCE/CPUC/Cal best buddy should be sent to prison for creating the worst threats to public safety and ratepayers in California history.— November 6, 2015 4 a.m.
Better read than dead
Meanwhile, life goes on and times are changing rapidly with global warming consequences. Hopefully the combination LA/SD Times/Union-Tribune will help us focus on making the right things happen for living in this new era.— May 25, 2015 3:24 a.m.
On the value of fish wrap...
Free At Last, San Diego's worst TPaper ever is flushed down the sewer of political journalism at last! Playboy Pope Doug and his Board of Political Sycophants have just become the worst chapter of "Paradise Plundered." The LA Times should make Don the San Diego Editor-In-Chief.— May 22, 2015 4:03 a.m.
California public utilities vs. us
Don, Jerry Brown enabled Peevey to corrupt the CPUC and sell out California to the utilities. But then Jerry is also a total failure at protecting California from the out of control consequences of Global Warming, as are both political parties that are causing California to crash and burn. Your decision to run away to Colorado is more correct every day. I just wish I hadn't been born and raised here, or I would have followed your example when I realized you knew all along, and have warned us that the entire state was being plundered for decades. Thanks anyway for getting rid of Pope Doug, now how do we get rid of Brown, put Peevey in jail and restore democracy in California?— May 13, 2015 1:45 p.m.
U-T to be sold to L.A. Times parent for $85 million
Don, at least one more question needs to be investigated, who is going to buy the LA Times from Tribune Publishing?— May 8, 2015 4:55 a.m.
Something sinister in Warsaw?
danfogel, Holy Cow, I feel like I'm dealing with Sheldon Cooper of Big Bang Theory:) I'll just stick with the fact of life that Berkeley professors and administrators are constantly proving themselves to be detached from the mundane needs of humanity and more attached to immediate profitability. Plus the fact that historians Will and Ariel Durant concluded, after over 40 years of research and Book of the Month Club publications, that civilizations fail because politicians and intellectuals fail to deal with the challenges of change. Berkeley Ivory Tower dwellers are still proving that.— April 15, 2015 4:23 a.m.
Something sinister in Warsaw?
Don, I had the same thought, it was just too easy, because it is true. You said it better than me anyway.— April 15, 2015 4:12 a.m.
