  • "Concerns with Dantona include this issue-kudos to cattlemen’s association for pulling the endorsement. As well as the significant ethical breach of working for Gibson while running for District 2, especially when he publicly stated he was resigning his job at the SLO chamber to campaign full time. Dantona is Gibson 2.0 and many in District 2 are fed up with Gibson and his attitude of “knowing what’s best for the District” and ignoring the residents."

  • "Because Dantona got the job with Gibson AFTER he announced he was running and AFTER he was endorsed by Gibson. So now Dantona can be paid by all of us to attend board meetings in his district and talk to constituents. It's total BS. Dantona is just a BS politician who just moved here from Los Angeles. I don't agree with Woody on everything but he is knows the issues, works hard, and would be a great fit for that district."

  • "Hah! An embarrassingly obtuse statement! Wiki US energy independence, and try to grasp the significant difference between petroleum independence and total energy(net kW) independence. If you don’t have both, outcountry suppliers have leverage on you. We achieved both under Trumps 1st term when he interrupted the Feds foolish war against hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon producers. No do you seemto grasp how all nations and administrations use propaganda statements while contesting with other nations. You see so focused on breathlessly raging against any policy facet you dislike to appreciate wider objectives."

  • "More and more insanity coming out of Paso Robles. Where did the water shortage go? What will they do with increased traffic on already crowded and unmaintained surface streets? Will the existing sewer plant handle all the new building? It is yet another round of unnecessary growth destined to ruin the wine country attraction and make the county an overcrowded, unplanned sprawl. Where are the sane voices calling out this never-ending train wreck in the city and county?"

  • "Excellent job by SB County. But the real story here is that fentanyl overdose deaths in the county have dropped by 40% in the last two years (outpacing the national average of 25%) because of prevention, treatment services and strong enforcement, as in this case. https://www.sbsheriff.org/santa-barbara-county-reports-significant-decline-in-overdose-deaths/"

  • "Recently in Australia. You go into a bar in Sydney it's like a wall of noise with people talking. Every place we saw was alive with personal interaction. There are places on earth where people interact with people."

  • "I'm tracking on the definition and application of satire, but thank you. My point is that while one might hope that others are in an outgoing, garrulous mood, no one is obligated to be so. Sometimes the better part of social awareness is giving others some grace, realizing that they might have something going on of which we are unaware. Also, quite frankly, this dude seems like everyone and everything upsets him, and after iteration 932 of his schtick, there's precious little constructive social criticism to be found in my opinion. I stand by my opinion above."

  • "Seriously. Why would a person with such clear connections to upper-level drug money be allowed out on bail? Come on. This is such an obvious member that they would not want talking. Of course they are going to get her out. Perhaps they think she will lead them to bigger fish, but she was a bird in the hand."

  • "“Satire is a genre of literature, performing arts, and visual media that uses humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose, denounce, or criticize human vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings. While often intended to be funny, its primary purpose is typically constructive social criticism, aimed at shaming individuals, corporations, or society into improvement.” Usually if you go to a bar you’re in a good mood and not worried about family or other things. At least that’s my experience. Bars were ALWAYS places where people conversed on every topic imaginable. Unfortunately, too many of us our so addicted to our phones that we’ve forgotten the human need for interaction. Sorry I had to explain that. And never take Dell too literally."
