6/26 "that poor girl [Jessie Davis] should have stuck with her own kind"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1856303/posts
\_ yeah, humans rather than freepers.
\_ She shouldn't have commented that his dick is not as big as it's
supposed to be.
\_ He sure showed her how big a dick he was.
\_ stuck with women? Hawt Lesbo action! Such an odd thing to see
homosexuality promoetd on a freeper site. |

6/26 Secret: The Freemasons influenced Bush to start the Iraq War.
\_ Three can keep a secret if two are dead.
\_ You are so totally wrong. Majestic 12, the Knights Templar, the
HK Triad, FEMA and the Illuminati worked together to influence
Bush to invade Iraq as part of their scheme to use Terrorism as
smoke screen to hide their conspiracy for world domination. Its
all documented in UNATCO's files. -jcd |

6/26 I've just found the ideal peice of motd trollbait, combining peak oil
with "the suburbs suck." Truly gaze upon it, for it is a thing of
beauty.
http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/clusterfuck_nation/2007/06/peak-suburbia.html
\_ What the hell is this guy proposing? That we all cram into the
city? This is highly unfeasible because our cities have evolved
to be a working city rather than a living city, and it simply
cannot scale to a level that'll hold dense population like
Tokyo or NYC. Look, 30% of the energy in the US is spent on
transportation, and by cramming into the city we'll maybe save
1/2 of that, reducing the consumption by maybe 15% overall.
That is not enough to save the mankind from Kuntler's doomsday.
Regardless of his proposals, there will still be huge energy
hogs in sectors like manufacturing and electric generation.
What is this nutso going to propose next, that the government
mandate strict manufacturing laws and that we have a ration
for iPods and computer usage? This is all silly.
\_ It's more than just transportation usage. Cities are much
more energy efficient in other ways as well. For instance look
at that retail space/person chart. All these suburban sprawls
include a ton of infrastructure that isn't as wasteful in
dense areas. (The waste is possible in suburbia for the same
reason the overbuilt homes are possible, land is dirt cheap.)
\_ Is is also "possible" because the people doing the wasting
shift the cost onto others. Does electricity cost more in
in the suburbs? No? Who do you think pays the increased cost
of delivery that all that extra infrastructure requires?
Same goes for water, roads and a host of other things.
\_ I'm just saying it isn't transportation energy alone.
Building shit costs energy. Making raw materials takes
energy. Outter suburbia is a system that works because
energy is so damn cheap that the wasted energy use is
insignificant compared to how damn cheap the land is.
\_ Sure, but it also works because it is subsidised.
\_ He's proposing urban redesign, restting zoning to make sense, and
making cities places where people actually want to live. His
Home from Nowhere covers this.
\_ Good luck convincing the Americans that Kuntler's
Utopia is good for Americans.
\_ Kunstler's ideas have been embraced by some communities.
Often, it's the developers, not the residents or potential
residents who oppose the Urban Renewal movement.
\_ Kuntler's Utopia-> dense shared living-> government
control of land usage -> anti-free market ->
communism. Therefore Kuntler is a communist.
Communist = bad. Kuntler = bad. -capitalist
\_ Your reasoning -> absolute deregulation -> free
market without conscience -> reinstitution of
indentured servitude, debtors prisons -> robber
barons and industrial age imperialist rape ->
sale of Universities to highest bidder -> closing of
csua -> no more motd. Therefore, you hate America.
Why do you hate America?
\_ "dense shared living -> gov't control" doesn't really
follow at all. See SF, NY, condos, etc. Gov't always
"controls land usage" in some way, zoning etc.
\_ Some of the scariest totalitarian minds I have seen work
as urban designers in Europe somewhere. There was this
one clown who advocated diversity and change in political
order as the ultimate good to redesign societies towards.
As in, having democracies everywhere is bad because it
creates a political monoculture. Instead, we must have
a lot of exciting mad social experiments. --- ilyas
a lot of exciting mad political experiments. --- ilyas
\_ Wasn't that done in the CSUA motd?
\_ truely awesome.
\_ No one is going to pay attention to this article because it doesn't
have a happy Hollywood ending. Sorry.
\_ Wow. Can we give this guy a CSUA account?
\_ I always like his buzzwords like Cheez Doodle based economy, which
was inspired when he was sitting behind some grossly obese family
who were trying to buy Cheez Doodles and had maxed out all of their
credit cards. |

6/26 Another Bush Administration official convicted by a diabolical
prosecutor and a vengeful Congress, similar to the Libby case:
http://www.csua.org/u/j11
\_ Uhm, no. This guy was directly involved in a bribery scandal.
Libby was busted for his memory of events not matching eight
reporters memory of events which didn't match each other's
memory of events nor their own notes nor their own prior
testimony. Thanks for the opportunity to correct your grave
misunderstanding of Libby's situation, troll.
\_ If this was really true he wouldn't have been convicted. He
got caught red handed, refused to turn on his boss and expose
Cheney's treasonous crimes and so went to jail.
\- As Mr. Uhm, no suggests, Libby was a victim of the RAHM-
PELOSI-JURY-REPULICAN_JUDGE-REPUBLICAN-PROSECUTOR conspiracy.
I think it is is pretty clear George McGovern created
Patrick Fitzgerald in his mountain side laboratory and
had him spend 30 years infiltrating the REPUBLICAN
ESTABLISHMENT for a moment like this. The code word
to activate him was "Barbarella".
\_ Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the prosecutor and judge
were both Republicans or Republican appointees.
\_ You've heard of 'the appeals process', right? We have that
because the justice system is understandably flawed. By
your 'logic' we don't need an appeals process and all those
folks on death row should be executed immediately. Care to
try again?
\_ You erased the much more amusing preceding material just
post this? Minus ten points for Slytherin.
\_ It wasn't amusing at all. It was off-topic and not
even dailykos quality and frankly the same drivel that
gets posted anytime anyone here tries to have a serious
political discussion. I'm trying to discuss the facts
of the case with the other poster, this has nothing to
do with anything. It is pure noise and as such
provides no opportunity for intelligent discussion and
no, it wasn't funny the second time either.
\_ You presume to be arbiter of teh funny? Being too
thin-skinned to take your well-deserved mockery
should make you rethink using motd.
\_ Yadda yadda blah blah blah, yadda yadda. I see
there's still no reply to the real comment about
the appeals process, Libby's case details, etc.
Just whining about "my drivel got deleted, wah!"
I'll take that as either agreement or general
ignorance of what actually happened in Libby's
case, thanks.
\_ Saying "the sky is blue" doesn't really warrant
a reply. Yes, it's up for appeal. How 'bout
you try again after his appeals are rejected?
\_ So as I said, you don't know a thing about
his trial and exactly how his bogus
conviction came about. I'll say it again
even though I know you don't want to know
the truth: he was convicted because his
story didn't entirely match the stories of
8 reporters. The 8 reporters stories didn't
match each other. The 8 reporters stories
didn't even match their own earlier
testimony, nor their own written notes. It
was not possible for Libby's story to match
the differing and ever-changing stories of
8 people. Thank you for supporting real
justice and not punishing people for having
political views that differ from your own.
\_ You are utterly convinced that your
reading of the case is correct. Will
you acknowledge you have been wrong
if his appeals are denied? Somehow, I
suspect not.
if his appeals are denied?
And you really have an obnoxious delete
finger. Fuck off.
\_ Erasing other people's comments on a globally
editable MOTD just shows that you are too short for
this ride.
\_ Comments are erased on a daily basis. Get over
it.
\_ What is it with people missing the point today?
Sure, comments are erased on a daily basis,
but erasing part of a thread just so you can
post your own POV is something else entirely.
Grow up.
\_ Bzzt, sorry. Erasing someone else's post
had no effect on posting my POV. Try
again? (y/N)__? |

6/26 SF Condo conversion laws gone amuck
http://urltea.com/uot (examiner.com)
\_ Dude, she bought the place and it a part of the title report.
The laws aren't amok in any way shape or form. She should have
read the damn title report. SHE IS A LAWYER, HELLO! Also her
agent was unethical in not alerting her to the problem and probably
can and will be sued, but it wasn't like this wasn't documented
at the time of the sale.
\_ Way I read it, she should never have been able to buy the place
at all, and if she should have, it would have been at the
'below market rate' low income buyer price. She got swindled
by the sellers. Boo hoo. caveat emptor.
\_ Well, the sellers and the Real Estate Agents. And now she's
sueing everybody, which is actually the right thing to do in
this case. |
