We can not relax. Another oil spill in probable. The oil industry, from Exxon Valdez in Alaska to the massive 1969 Santa Barbara, Ca. spill, just don't care enough.
The B.O.P. has not been improved enough.
We must demand MUCH HIGHER, REALISTIC LIABILITY CHANGES FROM CONGRESS ON THE OIL INDUSTRY. Let's see if they do the voters bidding,,,

What are the THREE SMALL SIMPLE TASKS that are critical to American society,,,that Obama and the Democrats seem unable to do,,,and show that CORPORATIONS RUN CONGRESS !!
First, we have lost the ability to phone and find out the correct time , HOUR MINUTE AND SECOND , for free. "popcorn" was the word to dial in California from home lines. Yes, some but not all cellphones automatically tell you the correct time, but NOT TO THE SECOND. We all need to know ,EXACTLY, what time it is !! If the 3 major morning news shows won't put it on the tv ,,,and Comcast and others won't provide it for free,,,IT NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED BY LAW. Hour ,minute, and second !
Second, we also need to go back a few years and be able to TAKE UNROLLED CHANGE INTO A BANK AND GET IT IN BILLS OR ADDED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. This is so bone-head basic, but the Bankers still control Congress, not Obama or Pelosi, or our elected Senators and Representatives. This is small, simple, and basic. Necessary!!
Bush Jr's 'no child left behind' national education policy, that most teachers don't like and see as a lock-step failure, does not ALLOW THE TIME TO TEACH EVERY CHILD THAT MULTIPLE HAND WASHING EVENTS WITH SOAP AND WATER AT THE SINK ARE CRITICAL TO PERSONAL HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH !! How often do YOU see men,,,or women ,,, leave a public restroom WITHOUT WASHING THEIR HANDS?!! I was at a restaurant recently and saw a RESTAURANT WORKER leave the men's toilet WITHOUT USING THE SINK, WATER OR SOAP !! I immediately told the California restaurant manager.
And if you want a 4th, a 'public option'.
President Obama, show us you are the President ,,, not just some loquacious black guy ,,, bench-warming the Oval Office.
Nancy Pelosi, why is there no single California politician with the high priority of CLEANING UP SAN FRANCISCO BAY ??

"You are a lousy parent !!",,,if you can't keep your kid from screaming in public,,,if you don't make sure your kid does his homework EVERY DAY,,,and
"YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PARENT !!",,,if you tell a public school teacher ,,, "i work all day, it is your job to educate my kid, not my job." Yes, there are many many black brown and white parents who actually say this,,,all the time.
Most super-rich parents SUCK because they think getting their adult jollies making $Millions each year is more important than good time-consuming parenting. As a limo driver i see this ,,, all the time!!
If you 'think' that it is your right to allow your kid to scream in public, for 2 solid hours, on planes trains and buses ,and in theaters ,shopping malls , and restaurants!!, "You STINK at parenting ,,,and should be sent by a judge to MANDATORY parenting classes,,,and FINED !!"
If you have not read at least 2 books on childbirth, completely, before giving birth, then you, DUMB-ASS,,,"YOU ARE A LOUSY PARENT",,,and might consider getting a stuffed pet ,,,instead. And if you have not read at least 2 books on Parenting, in the first half of pregnancy, then "You too will probably create a drug addict or a felon, instead of a balanced responsible child, AND YOU BETTER NOT BE MY PARENT, DUMB-ASS!!"
If you spoil your child/children and let them do WHATEVER They want,,,"You suck at parenting!!"('oh, he only eats cheerios'),,,and need to enroll in Parenting Classes,,,and probably seek THERAPY!!
Why aren't we teaching this in high schools, when this is critical to the health of our American society,,,? 'No child left behind', Bush Jr's failed idea, does not even have the time to teach HAND WASHING !! Is it those conservative, right-to-life freaks ?

It has been over 90F most Summer 2010 days,at 4000ft, in YOSEMITE VALLEY !! This is MUCH HOTTER than normal !!
What's up with this freaky weather?!
"Americans should not feel ENTITLED any longer",,,This is what 2 super-rich guys in the top 10% said about the 90% REST OF US ,AMERICANS !!
I recently was in a public place and overheard a conversation between two very fortunate, very rich, very selfish middle-aged Americans. Flying on the company jet,,,vacation home in a foreign nation,,,wife, kids in private schools, huge homes,,,
"Most Americans should no longer feel ENTITLED,,,to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, private and public pensions, college educations for their children, vacations every year, the ability to buy a house at any interest rate or price,,,anything like a just-pay-the-bills retirement,,,"
Wait,,,Didn't we , the 90%, just assume for 10 years a huge tax debt load from the super-rich and comfortable? And they regard us with such,,,distaste, disregard, harshness, and lack of humanity,,,?!
"They! (the 90% vast majority of us!!)should get use to ,,,doing without,,,lots of things,,,like cars,,,and money for gasoline,,,and vacations or traveling !!"
Wait!,,,wait!,,,wait!,,, President Bush jr. told us ,,,if you give the rich a tax break then the economy will get better and there will be more American jobs and everything will be 'better'. But the super-rich will hate us Americans like,,,illegal aliens, even in our own country we share?!
"They!(us!!)should get use to working their entire life,,,no unions,,,no overtime,,,maybe just at temps jobs with no benefits and much less pay than direct employees, if there are any of THOSE left!!"
But,,, FDR gave us Social Security!!,,, and the progressive income tax,,,after the previous 'great depression',,,and the Constitution and Bill of Rights says we are all equal under the law, right? How can they say such hurtful , mean, callous, and ungenerous things about most of us Americans,,,when all we have done is give them a huge Federal tax break for 10 long years, worth not just Millions or Billions but TRILLIONS, that we the lesser 'caste' of 90% will eventually have to pay.
"We(the super-rich business owners and CEOs,like we) will live in San Francisco ,,,Corporations now have all the rights of being real live people!! ha,ha, ha,,, and they will live in Fresno! with the murdering 4500 member bulldog gang! ,,, and Bakersfield!! ,,, and They!(90% of us) will take dirty old broken down buses to work as our maids, gardeners, day laborers with no security of even a weeks promise of work,,,and if found sleeping on the street like the mentally insane we kicked out of the adequate state mental hospitals, we will have them ARRESTED and THROWN IN JAIL!!,,,ha, ha, ha,,,"
How could President Bush jr. have been ,,,so wrong? How could Republicans,,, hate and disregard or want to severely punish,,,the majority of us, Americans? How will we ever reverse this 10 year tax debacle,,, when even the Democrats in the White House and controlling Congress have spines turning to jello? And who will pay for all the red ink spilled in these 10 years,,,and all the 'hate' created between the have-alots and the have-verylittles?
Do you still think Meg Whitman can help us?

How can musicians sell their ownership of the songs they create? Can the system be that massively broken and young people that foolish and greedy?
What a terrible music model of business that is.
San Jose's WILLOW GLEN NEIGHBORHOOD has failed the city residents in not maintaining the GARDEN THEATRE as original,,,SUCH A LOSS !!
It is now a tacky mini-mall.
Such a loss!!
And Willow Glen-ers THINK they have such good taste and fat wallets !!

Black Mayor,,,White Mayor,,,Black Mayor,,,the City of Oakland,Ca. is a DISASTER
The famous black mayor, Elihu Harris, was SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE to fix all the major problems of Oakland,Ca. He did not. Gee, a famous black man could not fix all the deep financial, racial, corruption, etc. problems of Oakland,,,
Former Governor,Jerry Brown, at least TRIED TO FIX THE MANY MANY MASSIVE PROBLEMS OF THE CITY OF OAKLAND, when most white were fleeing and avoiding 'like the Plague!!' He even lived/lives there !! That is white ballsy,,, Do the blacks in Oakland want a better community?Doubtful,,, or do they just want to give black lip service?Seems that way,,, I see a lot who still want to rob the system, get more than they deserve, be fashionable ganstas ,,, be selfish ,,,get away with open obvious public robbery, that is Oakland's rep.
The famous black legislator Ron Dellums , again another Famous black man, was SUPPOSE TO FIX THE still REMAINING RESISTANT MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS of Oakland, Ca. He promised to take a salary reduction, didn't he,,,but didn't ,,,right? So another famous black man is failing at fixing Oakland. This city has SERIOUS DEEP LONG-TERM major PROBLEMS ,,,not an 'easy' fix, for even Obama.

California Public Univ./College Professors for too long and too often have been extorting sex-for-grades. If you say 'college students are 18, adults, and can make their own mistakes' makes you a PIMP!! and an ACCESSORY TO FREQ. COMMON CRIMES!! Grow up,,,smell the coffee,,,protect students from this 'professional' abuse,,,
Why is it that cute students in California ,,, still get professor pushed for sex for grades ,,,and still trade sex-for-grades ?
This is too common, too sleazy, too unprofessional,,,and too unethical, even for you verbal-only Holy rollers. We must stop this common abuse.

FORT ORD,,,would make a great new UC campus !! It has a commercial airport in nearby Monterey, and a jetport on the n. side,,,AND LOTS AND LOTS OF ROOM,,,AND BETTER WEATHER/ENVIRON THAN MERCED
FORT ORD has sat underused and abandoned for far far FAR TOO LONG.
Let the State of California RECLAIM IT as a new UC CAMPUS !! With lots and lots of room to grow, and make money off the foreign students to settle the state budget !!

The UC Merced website , 5 years, does not have a Google map link,,,NO MAP AT ALL,,,,
No map??,,,
What the hell,,,!? Not even a Google map link,,,5 long years,,,so embarrassing, if i worked there,,,
No map of future planned development,,,
No map of current buildings, and what they are for,,,
No map of 'this is our eventual plan for the 10yr or 20yr semi-finished campus',,,
WHAT THE HELL,,,?
Our UC system is one remaining pride of California,,,it is the equal/better than the so called 'ivy league' schools,,,lots of foreigners(charge them double or triple the out of staters!!) are taking spaces from QUALIFIED CALIFORNIANS !! ,,,UCSF Medical School is rated in the top 10 nationwide and Stanfud is not,,,So why are we not expanding UC Merced faster?,,,And restoring Castle Air Force base easily to a 727 commercial jet base?? ,,,A UC must have a good airport near by ,and Fresno is just too far at an hour and gang infested(just one gang, Bulldogs, 4500 murders and felons,,,and no one ,no one! is rounding them up and sending them back to Central and South America,,,)

No one in California calls 'Highway 1' ,,,"the Cabrillo Highway",,,!!,,,NOBODY
And all these memorial signs to dead cops and dead politicians, take them down. Just eyesores, like billboards.
We need numbered exits like Oregon and Washington have had for decades,,,duh!!
And we need small signs to the near freeway 24hour gas stations, like the one in Burlingame, exit 'Peninsula Avenue' going west, a Chevron , in this case. Now !!

Kaiser, that 3rd rate medical care and insurance company,,,is late,,,AGAIN,,,with the flu shots,,,7 October for San Jose,Cal.
Walgreens,,,and even Safeway!, are a month or more ahead !!
So what matters, Kaiser, public health ,,,or you being late, again, getting a supply of flu shots ? There is a 2 wk wait for it to take effect, right,,,

Shared Wealth is Shared Public Health. It is just THAT simple. You make the sick poorer, and the rich will get sicker !!
We have had 10 years of Republican insanity on trying to make the rich richer to save us all. Failure. Total failure.
Isn't it time for some common sense ?

How does Arnold S., the Governor of California, live with his positive movie-hero image,,,and what he has done to California, to keep a few million from taxes in a few millionaires hands ,by driving the State off the financial and political cliff?
Such extreme opposites. Sure, the movie image is just an image, a job, that has paid millions. But the public believes the image, fake action hero image that it is.
And the extreme damage to the State of California. It will take a major event, like a state constitutional convention, to heal the terrible damage done to his 'home' state.
And just so the super uber maxi rich can keep a few million,,,from fair progressive taxes,,,when they have so many many million$ and BILLION$ in personal wealth. Personal greed never had such a good friend; and this state has had many too many mediocre Governors, but when the state is already flat on its back from Enron and Grey Davis, for an actor to masquerade again ,,,like this,,,at this crucial time,,,How will Arnold be able to live with such a legacy?
Such a sad end to such a promising state, as recently as the 1960s,,,

Civil Debate is vital to American Democracy,,,and a lost Art,,,especially with the Republican and Democrat Parties,,,The answer: a weekly ,Monday, tv show that pits a Democrat against a Republican, best honest debater WINS. No shows= you lose that week !! GREAT TV !!
A single monderator, changing month/season to season, can immediately interrupt with "bullshit/doubtful",,,"you lose the mic". One subject, and stray, means "you lose the mic" !!
Let's see if we can't inspire honest open thorough hard-hitting public debate again in America, just like Lincoln vs xxxxx stump speeches of old !!
No more 'no' votes based only on opposition. If you can't support your position publicly, you become the WEEKLY LAUGHING STOCK.

Sept.2010, Why can't President Obama control the runaway spending of the Pentagon?
It has been almost 2 full years, long enough for President Obama to learn the ropes/doors of his new job. So is it lack of will,,,or is this new President unable to make changes to the big bloated incompetent bureaucracy that is the Federal Government?
The new "Department of Education",all hail, can not keep the California administrators of Public Education, principals and superintendents, from 'golden handshake' and 'golden parachute' ,plus bloated salary, STEALING from the still failing, near bottom, public system. And the repudiated "no child left behind" of Pres. Bush jr. ,,,is still ,,,THE RULE,,, 'IN EFFECT' !?
The NPS still acts the same silly, stupid, anti-visitor, pro-Republican Party way,,,in taking $300 from a 'mass transit' bus/charter bus at the gates of Yosemite, even with just one passenger is on it. Or letting the major business, the 'park concessionaire', set the park policy of the level of guest services ,,,instead of the National Park Service,,,such as only one 2-hour Valley Tour tram per hour, instead of the two vehicles that the public ask for.
Or Muir Woods National Monument, where a meadow is used for overflow parking,besides the two small paved lots and all the unimproved road edges for half a mile,,,but a large parking garage there and eco-bus service has been needed for ,,,DECADES!!
Zero progress is being made on cleaning up San Francisco Bay and Delta. More abandoned vessels are polluting the waters,like the recent salvage-long abandoned tug episode,,,and the stupid continuation of the moth ball fleet. Will we ever have a Bay Area politician who will give major priority to the health of the environment of the SF Bay Area!? All we ever get is pre-election 'lip service' empty promises. If that.
The federal government seems ,,,ungovernable,,, even by such an idealistic new President as Obama and his Democrat Party new majority. We are still spending American lives and $Billions we don't have on the unpopular and ineffective Middle East Wars,,,
Republican or Democrat, what difference does it really make,,, on the ground?

And,,,Now,,,for something totally different,,,Let's make fun of San Francisco Bay Area's TRADER JOE'S shoppers !!
Did you know?,,,
Trader Joe's can't keep in stock such delicacies as flavored olive oil and pepper jelly and flavored balsamic vinegar,,,because their customers,,,GET THIS!,,,"ONLY WANT PLAIN CREAM CHEESE ON THEIR BAGELS, WITHOUT PEPPER JELLY,,,AND ONLY EVER USE REGULAR VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, NOT FLAVORED VIRGIN OIL OIL, ON ANYTHING" ,,,!!
What boring shoppers,,, and palates !!
How little food/culinary imagination !!
They are still parking in the Safeway lot, just shopping on the other side !! They will never be worthy of a Whole Foods store selection and assortment of fine foods.
HA!
The poor rut-loving sheepish shoppers even don't have a use for FLAVORED BALSAMIC VINEGAR !! Like 'fig and date',,or 'vanilla and fig',,,or,,,
Just plain-jane, unimaginative, boring, same old same old, "just the regular,,,hold the flavor and imagination and taste adventure,,,white bread you-are-probably-this-pathetic-in-bed-too,please" choices.
Ha,,,Ha,,,Ha,,,
A possible solution: cooking demos and recipe sheets !!

With MSN Hotmail,,,or even Google Gmail, it is STILL IMPOSSIBLE to block permanently one specific email address !!
Amazing,,,
Shows how the industry is not really on the user's side. If we want to permanently block someone we don't want to hear from ever again from emailing us, we should be able to do just that. It is our, receiver's, choice,,,not some jerk sender's right !!

I worked for PG&E in the 1960s on a gas crew,,,and was shocked that the Governors, the State Legislature, the CPUC, and the PG&E EXECUTIVES had a double standard on how gas mains and gas service lines were treated and buried
In rich neighborhoods, the ditch was leveled,,,by my shovel, sanded by buckets from a backhoe,leveled by my shovel, then gas main in front of you house was slowly and carefully lowered into the ditch by a strap on the backhoe arm, my job was to check for nicks then in the bottom on the ditch scary alone and patch them, then the gas pipe was sand buried again, leveled by my shovel,,, and separated from other electrical or pipe services in the ditch, and then slowly and carefully covered with dirt, not big heavy damaging dirt clods and rocks, from the surround, run over again and again by a backhoe. So much care to insure the maximum safe life of the pipe,,,and the homes on that street.
In what seemed poorer neighborhoods, the gas main down your street in front of your house,,, was just dropped in the ditch!,,,on the rocks and dirt clods!,,,no sand(how abundant!! and dirt cheap!! is sand in the state of California!? Stupid),,,and no guy down in the ditch checking for gas pipeline, tar or plastic, insulation nicks,,,just dump more rocks and hard clay dirt clods on that gas main or service line to your house !! And expect leaks,,,SOON!!
Now that the gas main explosion has happened in San Bruno, we and the Governator and the State Legislature need to step up and make it the LAW that there is ONE STANDARD, THE HIGH SAFE STANDARD, for California. Period.

It must really stink to be filthy rich and a big part of Silicon Valley: B.A.R.T. only goes 70mph,,,Not one major boulevard has its stop light signal timed by a computer ,in the birthplace of computers, tho SF has at least 3...and there are all these 'buried' SuperFund Toxic Sites that the super-rich computer makers that did them say they are not fully responsible for cleaning up, let the Feds do it
All they can brag about,,,is how filthy rich they individually are!! Screw the customers!!(yeah,baby), screw the public!!(just like Enron),screw the Environment!!(look at pg&e), screw-you Arrogance !! Are we back in Paris,France, socially and politically in the "Tale of Two Cities",,,or have we regressed all the way back to the Middle/Dark Ages with the raping lords?
How polluted does San Francisco Bay have to get,,, before all the Silicon Valley companies and corporations take some responsibility and show some Serious cash repair and restoration?! No, Silicon Valley and the computer industry is ALL about,,, PERSONAL GET RICH QUICKER. (Screw you, lazy unfortunate unlucky outside-not-inside bastards/others)
BART is was and always will be a second rate public transportation system, Ron Diridon et al. Max speed is 70mph. Scrap it and buy a Japanese bullet train. And you got all 9 SF Bay Area counties to significantly raise sales taxes,now almost 10%,,,for this massive expensive failure!?
Diamond Lanes are a failure, yet the politicians and power brokers still insist on taking away 25% or 33% of the full public access to our super expensive and poorly maintained freeways. The Silicon Valley execs ride in chauffeured cars/limos, so always ride in the diamond lanes. We allow them to act like spoiled children, 'shitting in their diapers' ,,,and on the public carpet,,,and then we are surprised they show little or no public responsibility!! Even failing to vote in over 20 years !!
Anything over $10M/yr in compensation is STEALING FROM SHAREHOLDERS !! How embarrassing to TAKE such bloated salaries and have so little personal, moral, political and social responsibility to show for it. What do you do with all that money,,,and potential,,,? All for you and your spoiled children, and little for the community you LIVE IN!!
Why does Silicon Valley have so many expensive SCHOOL DISTRICTS,,,with massively OVERPAID SUPERINTENDENTS,,, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS,,, PRINCIPALS,,, and ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS,,,?!! This is a huge HUGE waste of public money and so inefficient !! THE ENTIRE SILICON VALLEY SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED INTO ONE LARGE AND VERY EFFICIENT,LESS THAN 10% MGMT. EXPENSE WAS A GOOD INITIATIVE IDEA!!, DISTRICT. NOW!!
Why doesn't every student in 'Silicon Valley' have a student computer ?????
Why is a private book store off campus still-FOR DECADES!!- ripping off the students of SJSU,,, INSTEAD OF MAINLY A STUDENT RUN TEXTBOOK STORE AND STUDENT RUN ONLINE TEXTBOOKS TOO ?! For decades we SJSU/SJSC students have been RIPPED OFF !! by a preferred almost monopoly business,,,and we are MAD AS HELL ABOUT IT !!
You can afford to buy the Governor's Office out of your own pocket!! No need for public donations.
Even the two water parks are second rate.
How major Embarrassing it must be to be,,, 'from Silicon Valley',,,'a corporation that started in Silicon Valley',,,'i am an executive in Silicon Valley',,,?!!
How polluted does San Francisco Bay have to get,,, before all the Silicon Valley companies and corporations take some responsibility and show some Serious cash repair and restoration?! No, Silicon Valley and the computer industry is ALL about,,, PERSONAL GET RICH QUICKER. (Screw you, lazy unfortunate unlucky outside-not-inside bastards/others)

Meg Whitman says she will be a great governor transitioning from being an overpaid executive. That is not what her conservative cohorts at HILLSDALE COLLEGE newsletter say !!
Will quote the paragraph:
This is from the March 2008, volume 37,number 3 edition of the 'imprimis' ,a publication of the ultra-conservative Hillsdale College with 'over 1,500,000 readers monthly',,,an article titled 'Limited Government: Are the Good Times Really Over?' by a Charles A. Kesler,,,the third paragraph:
"Republican slogans have not been much better. Mitt Romney's was:"Washington is Broken." This populist refrain echoed, among others, Ross Perot's from 1992. Romney, of course, was less a populist than an expert offering his skill as a BUSINESSMAN-CONSULTANT. He appealed to the OLD REPUBLICAN FANTASY that if only Washington COULD BE RUN AS EFFICIENTLY AS A PRIVATE BUSINESS, ALL WOULD BE WELL. BUT GOVERNMENT IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING FROM BUSINESS. ELECTED OFFICIALS CAN'T HIRE OR FIRE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT WILL, ARE RESPONSIBLE TO AN ELECTORATE AT REGULAR INTERVALS, AND, ABOVE ALL, MUST TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE ABOUT GOALS THAT - UNLIKE ,SAY, PURSUING HIGHER PROFITS - ARE AMORPHOUS AND DISPUTABLE."
Don't you just love it!?,,,when an ultra-conservative organization SABOTAGES, GUTS, AND SLAUGHTERS,,,their own ultra-conservative, like Meg Whitman !?
Republicans defeating THEIR OWN Republican candidates, BEFORE the election!!,,,don't you just love the sight and smell of such arrogant, i never voted in over 20 years, defeat?
Meg Whitman was never FOR the good of all Californians, just the uber-rich.

B.A.R.T. is a total failure,,,it only goes up to 70mph,,,you can't see the small station signs out the tinted windows,,,or understand the indistinct announcements,,,so why not SCRAP IT AND BUY A BULLET TRAIN ?
If this is the 'best' that Silicon Valley and San Francisco can do, it is not good enough with massive waste of sales tax monies !!
JUNK IT,,,BUY A BULLET TRAIN !!
JUNK IT,,,BUY A BULLET TRAIN !!
San Jose has only one official NOAA-NWS weather station , at the airport, where NO ONE LIVES
Why is San Jose's only official weather station at the airport, where no one lives?
Why not downtown?
And Almaden Valley?
And Willow Glen?
And Valley Fair?
Why not downtown?
And Almaden Valley?

Silicon Valley ,the birthplace of the computer, does not have ONE timed boulevard using a computer
oh, San Jose says they have the computers and the staff but are waiting for a new mainframe,,,
El Camino Real and all the boulevards should have timed lights, NOW !!
