Animal rights activists arrested for terrorizing fur farms
Notice how the media are almost entirely ostracizing Sanders? The trouble with progressives is that they have no staying power. They need a card like Trump!— August 1, 2015 4:23 p.m.

Gosh, I don't know. I'd be interested in the particulars. Do you mean he's endorsing Hilarious? I don't think the evidence shows that votes for Nader put Bush in the Whitewash House. He may have some power, but not as much as the Supremes. I would vote for them if they ran. And I'm still suffering from being sucked in by that Giant Sucking Sound. Open letter to Billy-Boy: You didn't NAFTA do it! Open letter to Barack: You didn't NAFTA make the same misteak, even if it was on steroids and wrapped an even niftier acronym!— August 1, 2015 4:08 p.m.

Animal rights activists arrested for terrorizing fur farms
In some states, "trophy" animals have been released on "ranches" for dentists and others too "poor" to go to Africa or some more exotic location to satisfy their blood lust, and prove their "manhood." I've heard that some animals are tied down or caged to be shot by the Grate White Hunner. The fees are steep, but what the hell, when you're in an occupation like health provision or government "service," you can afford it. Heads for your den wall, pelt-rugs for your floor, and bragging rights that will impress the ladies (more than your own member, I take it). I think they keep the quail in cages hidden in the bushes that can be opened when the "hunters" get close enough that even vice-presidents can't miss 'em with an improved-cylinder-bore 12 guage--unless a lawyer gets in the way--WAIT! have we stumbled upon something positive about this practice that real hunters abhor? I guess it depends upon which lawyer. Anybody know the whereabouts of Cecil's head?— August 1, 2015 3:55 p.m.

Oy vey! Now you're getting "dangerously" close to the bottom of issue where angels fear to tread. Artificially inseminated sows in cages so tight they can't even turn around--even worse torture than the minks? Cattle standing on mountains of their own dung in feed lots. (Please go here for a most entertaining piece from 1960: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1960/… California's farms and wildlands are being decimated by wild pigs. They are free, as are non-indigenous turkeys that are doing much the same thing to wildlands. They are considered "game" by the state, which makes it impossible for an ordinary person to feed her or his family on these aliens. Open season on them. Go out and make clean kills and responsibly clean up and use every part of the animal.— August 1, 2015 3:41 p.m.

How so? The minks are already jailed; it's not like you have to go out and trap them. It's done all the time in wildlife research, and Moore's Law is driving technology up and costs down. Dart, chip, and collar the mink. Gather data. Interpret data. Apply data. Not more expensive than a cheap mink coat.— August 1, 2015 3:28 p.m.

More '60s homes in Del Cerro
I posted that I suspected that "they" got the land from CalTrans, but something went wrong and it didn't end up here like it should have--unless it got pulled. But I also agree that there should have been extended lot lines to the r-o-w boundary. And yes, there is a marked change in the way people honor laws more in the breach than in the observance. I'd like to see a count per 100K of failure to yield to pedestrians tickets over the last 40 or 50 years . . .— July 31, 2015 10:49 p.m.
