West Torrance sump neighbors denounce plan for soccer fields

Well, I think you're right - you are among the least intelligent residents. You certainly weren't smart enough to read and comprehend the content of the article. Kinda makes what you wrote look a little silly.  (1 hr ago | post #164)

SAN PEDRO KILLING

Prison for life and nothing less. They still get off better than the 17-year-old they killed. What were they thinking??  (6 hrs ago | post #6)

Parents of girls tagging crew will pay for Carson cleanup

How quickly we forget who we are as a country. We praise the concept of our individual rights to life, liberty and property. We support taking away those rights by due process for some who violate those same rights of others. We do that without cruel and unusual punishment. We praise that concept for its positive ways. It is not a comparison to other systems and other thinking as much as it is an ideal based on the self-evident reality in the world. We do better to stay focused on what makes us who we are.  (6 hrs ago | post #138)

John Bogert: FDR book shows today's politics are nothing new

Bogert wrote: "All this while being savaged, especially on Social Security, by conservatives who called the move socialist, communist and the path to the nation's downfall. " The conservatives were right. SS expanded to include Medicare. The system is not self-funding sufficient to be sustainable, although it takes an increasing amounts of one's income as noted by a post above. And, now the liberals want to expand the concept into the entire healthcare market. Socialism and communism can exist in various forms in countries for nearly infinity, but their repression and bland results have never compared to the wealth, prosperity and happiness that free markets and free choice have created.  (7 hrs ago | post #9)

Thanksgiving's turkey tradition feeds our myths

Come on, Thanksgiving is the perfect American holiday - unique to us. It's a day when everybody eats to the point of gluttony and we all love it. It is a national day as an expression of the American personality. For whatever its origins, this day is a model for Americans to live every day - fat, happy and prosperous.  (8 hrs ago | post #1)

This local star shines even brighter

A good human interest story. The reporter and editor kinda screwed up, though, by failing to see the repetition. "Morreale, who grew up in Palos Verdes Estates, is among 32 American students to win..." "Morreale, who grew up in Palos Verdes Estates, will pursue a master's degree..."  (17 hrs ago | post #3)

Carson man arrested as suspect in Harbor College burglary

Carson doesn't stink as much as you think. The sewage plant next to the freeway is located in Carson and over the last few years they have spent about $60 million to mitigate any odors coming from the place. (Remember what it used to be like driving by on the freeway?) Also, 40 years ago I attended Young Republican meetings in Carson regularly. Things have changed, but there are some good people still living in Carson. There are some cornballs, too. In fact, I know a few. Carson's problem is who runs for political office. I keep saying bring back Mike Mitoma. If you have ever heard this guy talk, he is sharp, knowledgeable and a great communicator. If Carson won't have him, he should run for higher office.  (19 hrs ago | post #14)

`Turkey alley' in San Pedro flies high

The politicos may try to make what they want out of it, but you gotta hand it to Neal. He is an absolutely great pastor who is a very hardworking guy. 1st Pres and Pedro are very lucky to have him here.  (20 hrs ago | post #13)

Get waterfront construction rolling

I like to think I'm not usually so sarcastic, but in reading Hahn's commentary I find her language and attitude about the issue here that is more appropriate for a meddling grandmother than a knowledgeable, skillful and adept public servant.  (Wednesday | post #6)

Cortines says he'll shut half of LAUSD local district offices

You might suggest that the district draw up (this should have been done long ago) a table of organization (TO) that is available to all employees through the district's web site. I would be really amazed if a TO doesn't already exist. It should be a simple matter for a computer tech to install it on the site.  (Wednesday | post #4)

Girl, 9, grazed by gunshot in Harbor City

Even with the state and city deficit issues and even with the overcrowded prisons, there must be enough resources still to find the shooter and lock him/her up for the rest of their life. Anyone who acts in such a careless and violent manner is exactly what was in mind when the fifth amendment was written to give the state the right to take away one's life, liberty and property.  (Wednesday | post #2)

Parents of girls tagging crew will pay for Carson cleanup

You can go on all you want about everything other than the fact that what was done is irrefutable and sufficiently bad to get criminally prosecuted for it and to have it hit the news. It's not the end of the world, but it is worse than what most of their fellow students do.  (Wednesday | post #51)
