[There was a request in the rapidly filling old sandbox for a new one that could launch a discussion on 'what does it take to be an American' and 'who are our warriors', and, of course, divers other topics of interest.  gjr]

[23may15]  Download NevCityPlan_150527 Here are some ideas (starts on page 31) that Nevada City has for using the $500K grant to our ERC for economic development planning.

    Mr. Fish. Oh my, what is a former award winning editor to do? It think it is called “being irrevelant”, but I have been mistaken before.
    With the robots cranking out stories at a high rate of speed, maybe there are no human sock puppets, just machines gone wild. Much to ponder. Oh, lest I forget, good morning to you…even if I am replying to a robot down in the “flatlands”. 🙂

    And yes, I’m sure Ben would “condemn” the article while quietly agreeing with most of it. It reflects similar sentiments he has presented in the past.
    Nevertheless, the opinion in the linked article is currently in vogue throughout leftist academia Steve.

    Bullshit Fish…..the ideas represented in that article are by no means anywhere near mainstream, even in ‘leftist academia’,
    (As though all academia is leftist; I could find a substantial body of ‘rightist academia’ to match your ‘leftist.’)
    This is just typical gamesmanship on your part; post something radical and challenge people to denounce it, as though they supported it to begin with.
    A moderately well read 13 year old could see through your ham fisted attempt at propaganda.

    It is very evident the many people of “color” that give interviews do believe what that gal stated in her opinion piece. I watch many liberal programs to make sure I get their points and she is one of many self loathing white liberal saps. My goodness, all people are special regardless of their race, color or whatever, but to wish the demise of a whole race is Hmmm? Racist? But those lefty’s forget history, very conveniently of course. Hell, Russia is a mix of white Rus and Mongol hordes! How come they forget about Khan? Or the Ottomans? Maybe Shaka Zulu? Anyway, that woman would be happy to have a holocaust against the white people of the planet apparently.

    Mr. Frisch, before you call Bull Pucky and get your BS Detector running on all 3 renewable cylinders, I believe you are out of the loop. And all this time I thought you were part of Liberal Acamedia. Like there is any other kind of Acamedia besides liberal Acamedia?, but I digress.
    I have to apologize to you for thinking you were part of the inner circle. I stand corrected. I can see now you are just a nice pragmatic purple fellow who likes mean green high faluting low polluting friendly renewable machines, pinko.
    Be that as it may, i hate white liberal cracker honkies. Well, not all. I even got a white neighbor who is from New England and I have taken him under my wing after watching him make too many greenhorn mistakes, like watering the moss on rocks during our drought. Heck, I even work with a couple of whitebreads and my little sis even married one, to my chagrin. Plus your white women and your whitey wives stink like stank.
    As I learned in the 60’s “when the revolution comes there will be no more nigger or bullshit”. Well then, turn the page and there is no more nigger. It has been replaced with the more palatable polically correct “nigga”. but the BS remains, spewing forth from academia, which obviously you know little about. Love ya, Steven. Gimme five on the white side and have a fantastic day all you Negro wannabes.

    At the time of the Sept. reports the sources were listed as registered campaign committees which they were not. The County elections office told you so and that made the money unaccounted for by rule. You guys then at a later date filed amended reports correcting your errors. Grow up and walk away being thankful you were able to amend the reports and avoid the fines. You still at the end of the day have permanent FPPC files with a strike against your guys as outlined in the FPPC Warning.

    This is what can happen under the TPP. So much for national sovereignty.
    On May 18, a WTO tribunal overturned an American consumer law that requires country-of-origin-labeling on meat products, so we can know where the meat we buy comes from. Our Congress passed this sensible right-to-know law, our courts have upheld it, 92 percent of Americans support it – but a group of corporate lawyers on a WTO tribunal has overruled us. This forces us under our agreement in signing the WTO to change our laws. this is not even an international court but rather a corporate led tribunal that have determined that our laws have caused them harm. More of this is what we can expect if TPP passes. That’s why responsible conservatives are opposed to the TPP. Here’s a link with more info:

    Don’t understand your point Todd. I legitimately agree with Rand Paul on foreign policy. Am I voting for him? Only if I hear some moderation on domestic issues and a better sense of reality at home. But from listening to him speak today on the middle east, I am very, very comfortable on his foreign policy. That despicable Hawk wing of the Repub party has wrought more damage to our foreign relations, and cost us thousands of young people, and trillions in wasted money that could have been redirected to rebuild our homeland. Those cretins deserve every bit of scorn Mr. Paul can dish out. So yes, hurray for Rand on the most important issue facing our nation.

    “Jonnie” 5:27 PM, you should vote for Rand Paul. His foreign policy fits the liberal mindset perfectly. His domestic policies are pretty good but he has no executive experience and that is going to be a problem.
    The fact that you have Hillary, Bernie Sanders and that clown Mallory from Maryland says a lot about the left. It is a mess. The right has many qualified candidates while the left has none. But I hope we can get debates on the left now.

You spend so much time looking for dirt on everyone and you then you can’t accept it when there is nothing to your suspicions. If we had done anything amiss, the FPPC would have fined us. They are not shy about handing out fines.
    And what exactly are you claiming they are warning us about? They acknowledged that YOU sent in incomplete samples of our campaign materials and that ours had the proper “paid by” notifications. They also acknowledged all of our financials were in order, so if anyone has a negative file with the FPPC, it’s you! Let it go. You lost (in trying to discredit us).

    hey fish, I know the political day you’ve been longing for is finally here! George Pataki announces for President. A fiscal and socially moderate, and a huge War Hawk that would send ground troops back into Syria and Iraq and massively ramp up military spending! Maybe even propose a new draft. Yeah baby, that’s the ticket.
    Only issue that could derail a Pataki Administration would be the small fact that a mere .0005% of Americans of non-New Yorkers are able to pick the man out of a lineup.

When we sent the complaint the county followed immediately with 5 letters to your crew. As to the ad issue, read this slow now….. there is no back side to an ad on a newspapers regular pages, the same applies to wall mounted ads. You guys think you can do anything and then play the victim when held to the same standards we all have to live with, its so trite. That is what campaigns do. I wonder what the ratio of dem on R complaints v. R on dem FPPC complaints are in CA or just in Nevada County? While yes you did get slaughtered in the Measure S campaign your recent spin seem like posturing for a revisionist history to support a possible 2016 CA ballot proposition.
