They were trying to paint me as wanting to pave over the county, while screaming that all gravel roads with Serpentine must be paved over to "save the chillrun! This killed me in the west end of my district, down near El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park!
So my opinion of this author is prolly colored, but he talked to me for hours on the phone and then stuck it to me even though I was careful not to give him anything to go on. He needled, prodded, cajoled, ranted and raved trying to unnerve me, but it didn't work. That's probably what REALLY pist him off!!!
I also witnessed the fear in State EPA officials up close and personally at this freaked out writer of fiction! It was sickening and disgusting!!! And of course, it didn't help that another Board of Supervisors member that always voted against me and the other three was also in these meetings trying to fan the flames of panic and fear!!!
God bless then State Senator Tim Leslie who helped immensely, but to no avail. The smear was on and the fear ran deep. The ignorance runneth amok!!!
You watched the Black and Brown Democratic debate on MSNBC tonight too? ;^)
Seriously, the parallels between what I've just read and what took place tonight in the debate(?) are too deep.
What pisses me off is that for those who's accusations are false, it seems there are few satisfactory remedies, such as tar and feather. They may be full of crap and instrumental in whipping up hysteria, yet the cost to them for such bloviation is:(drum roll.....) nothing. We need a remedy for this and possibly penalties for such abuses in the use of a pen.
The pen being mightier that the sword, perhaps we need another ammendment: "A well imformed populace, necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to kick your sorry ass out of a job when you first deceive with your anti-growth, pro-environmental fear tactics, promotion of socialism at any cost BS, shall not be infringed."
Here's something scary to think about: if you live in California and know anything about earthquake fault lines: the liberal hot-nests currently reside on those areas of land that would most likely become ocean-bottom properties, should a significant continental shelf crack-off occur along the San Andreas.
Scarier still is pondering whether this would be a simple natural act, or an act of God. As a non-denominational Fuller Brush door-to-door salesman, I'd blame it on the Jehovan's who just make my job that much more difficult.
