CM PRESS # 772

LATINO ON SKATEBOARD USES KNIFE TO ROB CAB DRIVER IN COSTA MESA

Maybe the robber saw that barbed wire, paint spray cans art work and figured Costa Mesa is a broken window city where he can find a safe haven.

A government, any government, is just a group of individuals with their own individual world views and philosophies and religions and these individuals have no more right to tell others what to believe than does your next door neighbor have the right to tell you what to believe.

MORE ON THE CHARTER MEETING

We're seeing the usual silly comments from the regular improvement obstructionists following the above linked Daily Pilot story on the recent charter meeting.

A few of these people whine about a guy from Sacramento getting to speak for ten minutes instead of the normal three.

Actually, if anyone had been paying attention they would know that Jim Righeimer said the guy had contacted the Council earlier and said he'd like to give a presentation [and that he'd need ten minutes].  This was apparently given the green light.

But here's what the haters and bigots don't want you to know:

THEN--after the guy spoke for ten minutes and had to endure the taunts of the thugs in the audience, some of whom even wanted to physically attack the guy, Righeimer offered to let an opposing speaker with similar bonafides also speak for ten minutes. This speaker said he could make his comments in the three minutes.

AND--Righeimer also let many of the opposing speakers unofficially take more than their three minutes to drool their ignorant and uninformed comments.  Add up all those extra minutes and you'd find the opposing side was treated very fairly.

------------------------------
BTW:  If you've ever seen the CM PRESS speak at these meetings, you'll note that we take the three minute limit very literally and when that buzzer goes off we'll break off in mid-sentence and leave the podium as cleanly as a boxer will return to his corner when the round is over.  We'd like to see other speakers do the same thing instead of disrespecting other speakers by continuing to speak past the buzzer.

We've noted that it's mostly some of the clearly neurotic improvement obstructionists who take extra time. The reason is that most of them are confused and have disorganized minds and no self-discipline.
