San Fran set for feng-shui law
Ananova ^ | Friday 30th January 2004

Posted on 01/30/2004 1:48:15 PM PST by presidio9

A San Francisco politician has proposed a new law which would mean planners have to consider a building's energy flows.

The 4,000-year-old Chinese art of feng-shui claims to channel positive energy, known as chi, leaving the building's occupier in a state of harmony.

Buildings, and the objects within them must, be positioned correctly to channel the energy properly.

Leland Y Yee's proposal would mean that the California Building Standards Commission would have to adopt standards that would aid feng shui.

The motion must pass the committee stage before progressing to the full Assembly for approval.

"The structure of a building can affect a person's mood which can influence a person's behaviour, which, in turn, can determine the success of a person's personal and professional relationships," the proposal states.

"The concept of feng shui is a simple one - to improve your life by improving your relationship to the environment around you," said Mr Yee, who is also a child psychologist.

"Feng shui is an earth science that examines mathematics, physics, geology, astronomy, and architecture, among other sciences."

Mr Yee, who left China at the age of three, added: "It employs the concepts of balance and harmony, and incorporates natural elements to enhance health, wellbeing and prosperity."

Well, we could always legally mandate shaking the old chicken-bones for an omen as well. Or sacrifice a virgin - oh, wait this is San Francisco. Never mind.

Or they could consult an astrologer for the most propitious time to begin construction.

I wonder if Leland Y Yee or any of his faamily have monetary interests in a feng shui-style business. A good look at his books may reveal other "motivations" than harmony.

Soon all buildings in San Fran will have to be built on top of a Pentacle in order for Satanists to feel comfortable. And to channel the dark energies of his Vileness for the benefit of all sexual deviants, killers, and politicians.

Penn and Teller did a show where they showed the "Feng Shui" experts to be the absolute frauds that they are. They brought in a bunch of these bozo's and videotaped their "analysis " and suggestions. It was hysterical. Of course every solution involved some expensive furniture from the "expert".

I bet there will be a huge increase in the "energy flow" out of San Francisco.

Bingo! Betcha ten bucks Mr. Yee has a feng shui consulting firm that will coincidentally get the government contracts.

Won't be a revolution. Some people are angry. I'm one of em.

But all I do is catch alot of crap for my militant attitude towards the destroyers of America.

Catch most of it here on FR to be honest. Until enough people get angry enough, nothing will happen. Nothing. And when you do get angry enough to do something, people call you a militia nut or some crap. Then the gov gets you in thier sights.

America has been sissified beyond redemption. It will take our military to correct things. The civilian populace is lost in la-la land as evidenced by this story and thousands of others every day.
