Is this more about your dislike of Marin?

Yes. Beautiful landscape, but... most of the people living there, not a terribly nice or egalitarian bunch.

I never meant to write a pro-corporate broadside against sensible conservation. I suppose I'm just tired of rich, smug, Bay Arean faux leftists pretending their protests are all about the environment or the children, when it's really all about keeping *their* property values up and diverting ugly, but badly needed infrastructure projects to poorer neighborhoods.

Anyway, sorry for the diversion --Marinite rant off.

Stop assuming you know what the heck we're thinking over here. Would you like me to interpret all your actions in the worst possible way? You're not helping and you'll just get the targets of your rants angry that their commitments aren't being recognized and honored. Then we'll just shut you out of the conversation and do whatever we want because it will have become clear that there is no way to win with you.

Are you always so ungenerous as you righteously judge other people's actions?
