I arrived early to the Democratic Club meeting; was enjoying coffee with other members. When the Pledge was finished, I stated that as long as the U.S. government was committing “evil” in the name of our flag and killing innocents, I would not give my allegiance to it. Angry words were exchanged. As I exited, four men grabbed me from behind and I was thrown to the lobby floor. They placed their feet on my limbs and neck to restrain me. I experienced pain swallowing for several days. The sheriffs arrived and, without a word to...

It is unthinkable, destroying this mountain, this “place in time.” When Granite came six years ago, salivating over rocky hills, dollar signs before their eyes, someone should have showed them the door and sent them packing. If not one person lived here, it’s still the wrong place to destroy. This land knows no time. It is a place of beginnings. Standing on this pristine land, silence permeates your being, surrounds you with murmurs of what was before. Everything here is “holy.” To the Luiseno people, this land is sacred; t...
I encourage people to treat their banks with distrust. Their greed has caused great harm to this country. And the government bailout of these banks makes me seethe. I also encourage people to not buy Chinese products. It was their encouragement to Standard and Poor’s that emboldened them to downgrade the United States credit rating. They are causing a second recession that could become a depression. Many small businesses will not survive. We must make a united stand against the banking system and the Chinese. They are t...

The July 21 article regarding the County’s approval of a grant application for almost $9 million ($8.8) of improvements to our airpark begs the question: Would this grant be betterment for the Fallbrook community or simply a benefit to few that enjoy flying private aircraft? Evidently it doesn’t matter to the County that the airport flight pattern involves flying over densely populated areas, a large high school, and across a major highway (S13-S.Mission). In recent years the Fallbrook community has experienced major dev... Full story
