Will history repeat in the governor's race?

It's good to see the state hiring increase of 22,000 and Duffus' vindictivenes toward the little newspaper mentioned in a major publication even though it had to show up in an editorial.

But alas, Kalifornia voters are lapdogs for pro-abortionists. Lousy coin-operated governor and stupid Kalifornian RATS!

[goldstategop]

To be fair Californians thought four years ago they were buying a Governor with experience when they voted GrayDown in. Not with the experience necessary to avert a power meltdown or keep the state's fiscal condition from sliding into the red as it turned out. I think four years of that experience is enough for California and voters are ready for a change. It sure looks like history is going to repeat itself in November 2002. Now let's all go out in droves to the polls and win one for the Gipper!!!

GraYouT should be indicted under the RICO statute for essentially destroying this state thru his nefarious influence peddling and extortion of moneys for favours.

That's My HaPPy Ending to This Me$$!!

DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists

GO SIMON

I hope you are right. Silicon Valley still seems like a RAT-hole for Davis, Feinstein, Boxer, Gore, (puke, ....). So I get myopic when I hear the locals blather about social justice and abortion rights rather than an economic melt-down that can't support their liberal guilt. 9.3% MARGINAL STATE INCOME TAX, $24 billion deficit, and they want to increase handouts AND taxes! I wonder how many Kalifornians are financing their stock investments with Credit Card loans???

My only question is, Is plastic piping safe for drinking water?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Excellent catch Dale.

Now lets remove the manure from Sacramento!!!

Unfortunately, Simon is going to be crushed. Its inevitable that the Grey-out crowd is going to get their hands on a little tidbit from Simon's past that will screw things up.

You guys really should have voted for the RINO Riordan. An elected soi-disant RINO is always better than an unelectable conservative.

We're also quite worried about IBM, 3Com, Cigna, Home Depot, ATT, TI, and Qwest. Most of the surviving Telecoms are about to go down - they've done some seriously shady stuff.

[andy_card]

sorry, wrong board. If you couldn't tell, I'm a newbie.

"Is plastic piping safe for drinking water?"

Of course it is.

The law demanding copper, or galvanized, is only there as a make work proposition for the plumbers union. The only reason the Duffus vetoed the bill was because of a hugh donation.

All the water mains installed now are plastic. My only objection to it is it is highly suseptable to damage and prefer to expend the addional money to use copper.

If you are in fact Card, which I doubt, you Rove, Parsky, Firestone etal can go take a flying leap at a rolling donut!

If he were a Republican he would already be impeached and facing a jail sentence.

Properly installed and sized Schedule 80 is superior to copper. No electrolysis. Our main is 1-1/2". It's not going anywhere.

I have seen new houses around here that were plumbed with plastic hosing that looked like stuff you'd find in a motorhome. I just always thought that plastic gave off pcb's or something that caused cancer. Maybe that was all media hype.

[dalereed]

Properly installed copper won't corrode or be effected by electrolisis either.

It's legal to use plastic for mains in California up to the structure but must be changed to copper or galvanized going into the house.

Unless plastic mains are covered with a concrete slurry prior to burrying they are still too easially broken, i've had to repair too many of them.

[Wright is right!]

"I just always thought that plastic gave off pcb's or something that caused cancer. Maybe that was all media hype."

You're remembering the wrong chemical. PCB's came from the cooling oil in old electrical transformers, amongst other things. The didn't have anything to do with the manufacture nor content of pvc water pipe - which is about as safe and non-reactive as you can get. Plus, there are no metal ions the water can pick up as it passes thru and thus no electrolysis. The stuff can't oxidize and any chemicals used in assembly evap-off.

You WANT plastic pipe.
