Ah yes... point #2 of my post rollin' in like an Oklahoma thunderstorm. (personal attacks and way off topic content (Cooper and anti-Obama stances vs. issues & claims on 1991, are you kidding me?)
May 29, 2008
Well, right or wrong at least it's concise, articulated, and not riddled with diatribes, personal attacks, and emotional blather...
Clean, and claim-by-claim... and no need for the Jules Verne mockery.

Sounds like a bit of hearsay and conjecture...oy vey. I feel sorry for the child, as he was subject to the rigor of overzealous protocol and protectionism. I feel sorry for the agencies involved, as they were stuck to follow the rigor of overzealous protocol and protectionism. Classic example of the requirements of over-protectionism with the assumption of unlimited and perfect resources to handle any/every known crisis. What would of happened, if the 1 in 100,000 probability of a child taken such…

>Because one has no background in applicable natural sciences or applied sciences and can only bring in the comments of additional oddballs to support their off-the-wall statements does not mean there are not real issues. Because one has fallen for the attempt to claim AB 1991 only applies to one property in HMB does not mean the unprecedented method for creating environmental exemptions embodied in the bill will not affect all of California. Great rhetoric... but just folly. History (world, US,…

>>>Should there be a STOP Gina PAPAN campaign Blitz? The election is next week! >>>>Papan says she supports AB 1991.†If true, it changed my support! Day late, dollar short. 90,000 signs later... much less what I call "Dumb San Mateo County Voters"... she's a lock on name recognition. The same galoots that would put Tom Lantos in time-after-time, yet 90%+ (and trust I polled them... and invite you to poll a Papan supporter once she's in) wouldn't have a clue on his voting record, much what…

>>Half Moon Bay is getting the reputation as a town that would just as soon not enforce its own environmental and planning regulations Vehemently disagree... Half Moon Bay and the residents thereof, are getting the reputation statewide as the city that is setting off the very "environmental trip wires" they've espoused and set for decades. The more I think about it... the more I want 1991 to lose and HMB to get socked for TENS of millions ...and for what? farmland wedged between housing tracts on…

This is so not over.... On a primary level, this is a good step for this particular cause. Again, this does not prove any slipper slope is in effect, and AGAIN, this is not a 250-unit condo complex sitting atop the Fitz' Reserve. Secondarily, this would be good precedence to weaken an already overzealous stronghold that the environmental groups have throughout the state. Yes, there are morals at stake, but many see this sort of precedence as a threat to their existence. Typical, to see all/every…

Well put Johnathan Lundell.. perhaps you could forward that to all the "academics studying and denying man's actual affect on climate change, nee global warming". Touche.

Steven... enough of that reasonable rhetoric now. Sharpen up kid. I'm with ya on the Top 10 reading. My dreams are filled with riding the 1 into the Tom Lantos tunnel as exit onto the Gina Papan Bridge, unto to Lou Papan Highway...

I know first-hand many/most here despise the HMB Review... but Barry...taking 7 paragraphs, to finally elude to lack of veteranship and the quality of journalistic heed thereof... Come on, just come out and say next time. Let me do it for you here: "I know we all despise the Review, and here is another point that they have a bunch of rookies that are either young, short-breathed on topics that "we" care about, and you can never trust them, but Clay, don't take it personally". It's a shame the Coastsider…

Ken... welcome to the everyday life of how the other half lives. You are ranting about how opinionated the HMB Review is... well Ken, welcome to how 50% of the American populous feels about NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, et al... the choice of what to cover, how to color it, and what not to include, much how to bend/paint statistic in your private opinion espoused on the public readership point of view has been relevant for decades in what you probably think as "unbiased" mainstream media. Welcome to other…

Coastsider postings on AB1991 are biased and incomplete. Yawn.

Carl, ... Jerry Bruckheimer needs a new doomsday script, and I think you've got a calling here. 3/4 of San Mateo County itself is uninhabited... much less the state. Success, survival, peak fossil fuel and other crunches will be upon it before it can change course and redesign The best thing we can do is continue to use fossil fuels at exorbitant rates. Then ingenuity (perhaps American) will kick in, and the almighty dollar will drive a viable solution. Increasing global misery? Wow, the glass is…

Barry wrote: "The rule of law is a meaningless concept if you can get yourself released from it in exchange for money." I agree with that as a core value, but an already overzealous law doesn't warrant it as unquestionable law or doctrine. Slavery was legal (perhaps far too reaching analogy I know, sorry), or legal precedent to not allow to women to vote... required landmark contrarian actions (whether local thru federal civics). The money, the actual land itself, the acts and environmentalist precedent…

Steve wrote: "I have observed over the years how well organized these groups are in championing their positions." And that doesn't even touch it... it was never more apparent when Barry was able to blast dozens of organizational symbols supporting the anti-AB stance. Then when I saw someone from Clear Air whatever speak out in Sacramento against it... I am continually convinced these "organizations" ... (some of which need to fold and consolidate for taxation/revenue purposes (sepearte thread)) just…

Fantastic piece here... covers quite a bit amidst the 2,322 words (thanks to Mozilla Firefox for the word count, 11,738 characters for those interested in more breakdown). As always, I appreciate a more "palatable" serving on the spin, as it's always good to revisit context. However, I do see some of this "swung" back to anti-1991 side of this pendulous matter, vs plain and simple clarity. It's opinionated clarity, which is fine, but noted for what it pretends. For instance... the rhetoric of "all…

Ken I understand your passion, but indirectly offending me with that jibe is unwarranted. It's sophomoric at best. Maybe the 2:32AM time stamp speaks volumes. I was talking about the CCC rep whom spoke at the meeting as I watched the video Barry so graciously gave us the heads up on. Thusly my verbiage clearly stated as: [shocking to see a rep from the CCC, lay claim] See, not read. Regardless, driving by again this AM, I realize this land is not overlooking the bluff on Fitzgerald Reserve (truly…

Moreover, what can the city of HMB do with the parcel/subdivision... at this point it MUST be flipped towards commercial/residential development... to re-coup.
May 01, 2008
No Ken, I don't think I was directing at you, given I have no clue whom you are. Or at least I didn't have you personally in mind. It was just not shocking to see a rep from the CCC, lay claim... like they do on EVERY measure that comes across their desk to say this would be unprecedented ... many of us think it's about time to break the spell, so to speak. Then it was good to see a bunch of lawyers "personally speaking" in a very jocular fashion about how this debate/bill keeps lawyers employed.

Asked if he had any regrets, he said, "well, life's a learning experience … I probably won't do the same, but I don't really regret anything."
Shocker. Well, lad, once you do start contributing vs drawing off of services... we hope to... nevermind.
