All I know is the California maxim that I learned the hard way so many years ago:

"As Arcata goes,
. . . so goes Eureka."

Good for them! As unconstitutional as their law is, it's no more unconstitutional than most of the Patriot Act.

Ah, the Patriot act. Nothing like taking away freedoms under a PC feel-good name.

This is what happens to a nice little town when college students get to vote in local elections. The property owners frown on this BS but are out numbered...

Brian Willson, the national peace protester who lost his legs trying to block a Concord munitions train in 1987, lives in Arcata and helped draft the law.

Anyone stupid enough to sit in front of a moving train and not get out of the way in time, is stupid enough to help draft the law.

These people appear to me to be part of the "hippie" generation who have never grown up!! Sorry, I'm not buying their whiney stuff!

Your right to privacy does not include the government NOT KNOWING YOU ARE HERE! That is a stupid assumption.

[Porterville]

I'm prepping to move on out of Eureka and hit the central coast; been here two good years, but these hippies make me want to puke, especially during a time of comflict.

I looked up Brian Willson through Google and his webpage is the usual "Oh how slowly I came to realize America was evil..." Claims to be a Vietnam Vet but may be one of those ubiquitous phonies because he doesn't give his unit, or year he was in VN but of course claims to have seen horrendous scenes of napalmed civilians. Any Air Force vets here who can check him out? If he is a phoney he needs to be outed to the city council.

If I may throw my two cents in...

The so-called "patriot" act is nothing of the sort. Draconian legislation like that needs to be opposed - the Fourth Amendment has been mauled badly enough in the name of drug-free this and drug-frre that. Where does one draw the line in the sand as far as our liberties go?

Also, did anyone stop to notice that the entire "patriot" act appeared full-blown right after 9-11? They had that pre-written and waiting in the wings for a disaster like that.

I have no problem with the Patriot Act with Bush in office. But if Hillary is ever president she would scare me with all that power. She is evil, dishonest, power hungry. She had no problem illegally obtaining all those 1000 or so FBI files after all..... She really scares the socks off me!

Here is a followup of the Marxist running Arcata...here

The Arcata city manager is the former state senator Dan Hauser.

If there is ever a posting for the term "stuck in the 1960's" in a Thesaurus, this picture should be included, IMO.
