"in GaySpeak, for "thinly-veiled" read "hard-earned"" So tour bigotry is hard earned?? So for 44 yrs you could care less about gays, but because someone who allegedly wronged you is a lesbian, you hate gays?? Are you saying she prosecuted you just because she is gay?? And what does Cynthia Sommers' case have to do with yours alleged prosecution? Are you saying that the original test for heavy metals done on her husband was faked by Dumanis and that she told the Navy lab to hide untested samples. I agree that DA's office blew it on this one, but you're saying that Dumanis did it just because she is gay?? That's pretty obtuse reasoning, imo. BTW, exactly who did you vote for when she got elected? I'll bet it was Pfingst, who instead of prosecuting Susan Golding, turned into her little lap dog and started defending her actions.— April 30, 2011 10:26 p.m.

So it would be OK for him to have rule on the case if he was gay and not in a relationship??? LOL hat has to be the most absurd logic I have ever come across.— April 30, 2011 10:12 p.m.

For howmany years have we citizens been trying to vote in change? It hasn't succeeded yet. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. As many of you have said here, it all comes down to who has the most money. It doesn't matter who you elect, in which office, eventually money has it's way, eventually they beholden themselves to someone. And it's already been proven that just because you've got enough of your own money to run for office, some one can raise enough to beat, even if you don't shoot yourself in the foot.— April 30, 2011 6:20 p.m.

I was referring to Mr. Bauder's reference to Egypt. When the citizens protested peacefully, the gov't resorted to violence. We've already had a governor threaten to call out the Nation Guard to quell protests (Wisconsin). Is it possible to remove 10K+ peaceful protesters without violence, I think not. See Chicago 1968.— April 30, 2011 6:12 p.m.

SDG&E Smart Meters – cause of heart trouble?
Under certain conditions, don't the water the police have the authority take punitive action against those who engage in excessive water use or otherwise violate their rules? I believe long as your water use remains within your allocation, you're good, but if you use more than your allocation permits, you can face fines and penalties or even a disruption in water service. I'm sure that the electric police would claim it was in the best interests of the community to do the same thing. Perhaps one should be more fearful of some enterprising young software engineer, perhaps one who recently has lost his job to an H-1B visa holder, developing software that enables those less scrupulous than the rest of us to capture such information. With access to such information, it's not inconceivable one could use that data to determine patterns when homes are unoccupied, therefore making them vulnerable to break-ins. A basis for an injunction preventing further such installations, perhaps? On the other hand, those who have had these meters installed could simply consider either moving or going off grid as our late friend a2zresource did.— April 30, 2011 10:34 a.m.

Consider the Condo
"By the way, "Victorian" is an era, not a style" The Victorian Era lives on strong in the form of Victorian style. The Victorian style is used to describe any of a number of analogous historical revivals in the United States in the second half of the 19th century Victorian style in British and American architecture is an eclectic mode based on the revival of older styles, often in new combinations. Although the style is named after the reign (1837-1901) of Queen Victoria, it was her husband Prince Albert who was the actual promoter of taste. New materials, such as iron and glass, were often incorporated into the design of buildings during the Victorian period. The Victorian style arose quite naturally in western society. The industrial revolution allowed people to create wealth, and they wanted to spend it on themselves and their homes. More people wanted new products for their homes, and more of them were able to afford to, which is probably why the Victorian style is often noted for being ‘over the top’ in character. Today we might use a more restrained style, but the Victorian style depended on packing in as much as possible.— April 24, 2011 1:07 p.m.
