THE WAY OF ALL LIVING THINGS--GURU PRESS SPEAKS
All living things seek conditions where they are comfortable, young Grasshopper. There is no exception to this.
If you have a swamp full of alligators in the middle of your village, and if the alligators are attacking the people of your village, you can hire alligator police to do what they can,and you can hire alligator social workers to intervene to try to make the alligators nicer, but if you do these things,Grasshopper, you'll have to pay and pay and pay and you'll still have alligators.
However,if you drain the swamp,Grasshopper, the alligators will feel very uncomfortable and will move all on their own accord.
Then, without harming the alligators, you will have solved your alligator problem and made your village safe once and for all.
Take understanding from this, Grasshopper.

WE GET MAIL ABOUT A JOB CENTER FOR SANTA ANA HEIGHTS
Dear CM PRESS:
In # 46 you wrote about Newport resident and Daily Pilot columnist Joseph N. Bell not being happy that Costa Mesa has closed down its job center, and you said you would be willing to help Mr. Bell with getting a job center opened in his Newport Beach neighborhood of Santa Ana Heights.
Even better, there is a ready source of funding. Santa Ana Heights is a redevelopment area.
They were going to use their redevelopment money for a community center at the YMCA, but the Y has pulled out, so now they can use the money to build and run a job center. Perfect!

THE CM PRESS COMMENTS:
We emailed a copy of # 46 to the Daily Pilot with our offer to help Mr. Bell bring a job center to his neighborhood, but so far Bell hasn't replied. Probably busy.
We'll send # 47 over with your suggestion.

Those are our opinions. Thanks for reading them.
