'Jac',
If you decide to actually argue the ERA, instead of denigrating "Republican's" as…Read More bogeyman in your canard... please feel free to reprint part of my original reply for argumentum you wish to kite.
In the new Patch, my quiet protest to the new site is not respecting continuity as I did before... by deletion whenever I choose. It is my hope, you get updates to your musings and you are fast enough to cut 'n paste to form a cogent reply. Get ready 'jac'... my kind and in-depth explanation, why you are narrow in your non-thinking view - will be gone soon... but have some confidence, your narrow view regarding "Republican's" will remain.

'Batman' already mentioned the main inequality; Women have the grand privilege of choice for bearing…Read More children. No matter how bad a man wants to become a father, it's up to some woman to decide to provide a child for him.
Traditionally in our society, men are obligated to pay for dating and are expected to afford to provide for the family as women seek this economic stability in men, and will often dismiss a lesser paid man as a potential mate.
Perhaps when most women are paying for everything or contributing equally while first dating, and continued into the relationship or when raising a family after marriage, then economic equalities will become more important.

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. But…Read More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!

Arthur,
Thanks for your views - somewhat contrarian and charting a new path for some(many)…Read More Republicans! Indeed Mr. Issa is leading in a standout manner, found at odds with the current wind direction of Washington DC and agenda of the far-left wishes for "transformational change", of which logically America should be wary to accept without further investigation. Mr. Issa is clear, concise and forthright in the approach and scope of his Committee's focus.

I was under the impression that posts were not to be insulting to other posters, but it appears…Read More Stocks takes a lot of liberty in that area. I guess we should assume that is the "nature of the beast" so to speak. He has a bad habit of name calling when people don't have the same views as he does.
Dennis Lees May 19, 2013 at 12:49 pm
Actually, Mr. Stocks, if you had read or listened to what I have actually said, you would know that…Read More I am NOT opposed to putting sand on the beaches or to dredging. I recommend the economic importance of that measure and am willing to compromise to an extent on the environmental impacts of doing that. I only wish folks "on the other side" were also willing to compromise in order to protect our environment.
I am opposed to such a massive program that causes such extensive and long-term injury to our nearshore ecosystems, especially one borrow site contained within the newly created Swami's Marine Protected Area and therefore jeopardizing the integrity of the entire So. California MPA system. That expensive, environmentally damaging program would be less offensive if, at least, it provided any long-term solutions to the symptoms to which is responds. Alas, it does not - it solves nothing geologically/oceanographically - the coastal protection problems faced by Encinitas and Solana Beach will be just as bad at the end of the program, in 50 years, or worse.
As I have indicated in my blogs and my presentations at city council, I am in favor of placing sand on the beaches that are important to preserving our local tourist industry, particularly Moonlight Beach, the San Elijo strand, and Fletcher's Cove. This would eliminate the need to dredge in the SMBA, greatly reduce the amount of sand that would have to be dredged from borrow site off San Dieguito Lagoon, and reduce the magnitude of the associated injury to a local ecosystem that supports local commercial and sport fisheries.
If you would like to discuss the credibility of my science and provide me with some details on what in my discussions are "sounds like science garbage", come on by - I'll be happy to try to enlighten you on the marine ecology aspects of our local ecosystems. These are among the ecosystems I've been studying professionally in many parts of the world since the mid-1960s, i.e., probably since about when you were in diapers.
Lynn Marr May 17, 2013 at 03:47 am
On the contrary, Mr Lees is a scientist and offers a true scientific perspective. The environmental…Read More review for the Army Corps of Engineers project was not completed before the agenda item was heard by Council. Public comments and public agency comments have not yet been addressed. The mitigated negative impact declarations for previous sand replenishment projects were not made after complete environmental review. Supposedly, because of the "mitigation," complete review was not required, as in a full EIR. So you are comparing apples to oranges, Mr. Stocks. Please don't attack Mr. Lees, personally. You are welcome to share your own conclusions or understandings, but please don't mislead or misrepresent by promoting your agenda, while falsely claiming Mr. Lees "and his ilk" are not "dealing in good faith."

Indeed, Issa is going after bigger fish, of Leviathan proportions!
Benghazi-gate, Solyndra-gate…Read More Fast and Furious-gate, IRS-gate, EPA-gate
The Obama Administration has been a "gated community" of corruption and scandal. Only now the "floodgates" of media scrunity had to be unleashed, or else they would lose what little credibility they have left.

Now he's joining forces with his Senate contemporary, Barbara Blockhead, err, Boxer, to pass carbon tax legislation....yet another job-killing measure for the entire country!

Thank you very much for your comment. It's great that your grandchildren are growing up in Hawaii…Read More since it's also a very diverse state and it's good for them to be exposed to a variety of races and cultures. I am enjoying California and I don't mind so much anymore if the question of race comes up since I've relearned to be proud of where I come from and I have no problem telling people, whether they socially construct me based on race or not, that I'm Filipino.

Nice Post enjoyed reading about your views on racial identities here in California and Hawaii. I…Read More have a married son living in Hawaii and 2 Kids, He's Mex/White is mom is White.

"The best part was the fact that he brought in Jerry Farrell and the Christian Right to take…Read More over the GOP....this the guy that called 911 a Act of God ....!!!"
That was also wrong. Very wrong.
God is no longer angry with the world anymore. He took out all of his wrath on His Son, and has since reconciled the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5: 15-21)
There has been a change. Pastors should know this, but too many of them act and preach as if the Old Covenant is still in effect.

Frank, I definitely saw a negative impact on the tidepools in Cardiff. There are signs warning us…Read More not to pick up sand dollars, and other forms of flora and fauna, but dumping so much sand smothered them all! Then the winter storms washed the sand away. If money is poured into BIG SAND, by dumping imported sand, or dredging dirty bottom sand, then the government, through the State, SANDAG and the City will not look into opening up the estuaries, so that sand can again flow, NATURALLY. Thanks for reading the article. Some of the issues in Imperial Beach were caused by the sand dumped here, which drifted south!

Exactly. Thanks for your fair and balanced political points, Frank. My particular bias has much more…Read More to do with Reagan as a person than a president.

Yeah don't miss Reagan, had a few good points, was against assault weapons, made Russia go broke,…Read More and raised tax's when he needed to. But did not like him bringing the Christian Right into politics and making the GOP so anti-union . When he was Gov. of Ca. he legalized abortion, let the teachers union become untied statewide to increase their benefits and pension. Hard to believe he was a Union Pres. at one time...!!! Anyway liked him has a Gov. not has a Pres...!!!

Jac is correct, to be embarrassed by this action. While your Congress was at work, it also gutted…Read More the pro-active Stock Act. Rendering it worthless, toward the very entity the Stock was designed to rein-in... it passed by an unusually large manner, at further abuse to Americans.
