CRAIG WRITES: "...enriching her life or wasteful pursuits..." BECKY: Now CRAIG. The pursuit of MONEY doesn't necessarily ensure enrichment. The pursuit of truth and justice is never wasteful, even if that work is left unfinished. CRAIG WRITES: "Once again, BECKY, I did not make that comment. You've attributed it to the wrong person, as usual." BECKY: Ooops, sorry. My mistake. (17 hrs ago | post #79)
DBS WRITES: "Yup. It says that the so-called "advocate of free speech" hits the abuse button more than anyone else. Face it lardass, you're a lying hypocrite." BECKY: And it's posts like this that got you banned. Good thing you can just go out and BUY another laptop and continue your rants, isn't it? Free (abusive) speech for the rich, is that it? I rarely hit the abuse button, even for most of your posts which violate the TOS. (I'm not the TOPIX monitor. I'm an end user). I ONLY hit the "abuse" button for libel, gossip, those who impersonate another, and for "fat" comments, although I don't bother for most of the latter. How do you even know how often I hit the "abuse" button? Couldn't other people be sick of your "whackjob " comments too? (17 hrs ago | post #78)
ANOTHER VOICE WRITES: "And from how many businesses do you suppose your average Santa Cruzan has been banned? I'm guessing it's approaching zero. Personally, if I had ever been banned from a business, I would be ashamed and embarrassed. You, BJ, wear it like a badge of honor." BECKY: It's good to be hated by all the right people. And please don't call me "BJ." (17 hrs ago | post #77)
Nazi flags hang over Pacific Avenue: Santa Cruz police say swas...
SERIOUSLY WRITES: "Becky says that Darfur genocides are ignored by santa cruz liberals..." BECKY: In 2006, I went into the bookstore at the Resource Center for Nonviolence to get a book on the Sudan genocide. They didn't have a single book on the conflict. But they must have had at least 50 books, pamphlets, videos condemning Israel. (17 hrs ago | post #357)
Santa Cruz couple mourns teen son
SHANE WRITES: "BJ just can't admit she's wrong about anything. She prides herself on living here, but just proved she's not really one of us. Bye bye BJ bye bye." BECKY: First, don't call me "BJ". It find it offensive the way you use it. You MEAN to use it in a pejorative manner. Please stop. Second, I've hardly been "proven" wrong! "Cruces" is simply the plural for "cruz". And my alternate meaning is correct if you translate "Santa" as the adjective Saint or Saint's and "cruz" as a simply crossing place. Third, why say goodbye? I'm not going anywhere.

Downtown Santa Cruz menorah needs a security guard
Suddenly the City requires a $5000 security guard? Huh? Can't the Temple simply sign a waiver leaving the City faultless should the Menorah be vandalized? C'mon City! Work around this. Otherwise, we will have a "Holiday " (Christmas) tree and no Menorah. That's not right! (19 hrs ago | post #14)
County wins suit to protect mobile home rent control, for now
Reminds me of the DeAnza Senior Mobile Home Park in Santa Cruz that was sued by new owner, Sam Zell (the current owner of the LA Times). Zell, who describes himself as a "vulture capitalist" sued the City of Santa Cruz over its rent-control ordinance. The City caved (the ONE time John Barisone should have hung tough!!) All those seniors lost their equity in their homes overnight as the one asset they own, their unit, is constantly depreciating, and with rent control gone, the park owner can and will eventually take over their property when they can't sell it to anyone. Clear View Court was likewise stripped of its affordability and the owners lost their equity. The City lost 250 affordable housing units FOREVER! Why can't we have a range of housing options priced for what the people who live and work here can pay? Isn't it the job of our City and County leaders to ensure by judicious planning that we are properly housed, have housing security, and have a community in which the people who live here have a high quality of life?
