CitizenX on "Dope Days Are Over?" I promise you. I am not a dispensary owner. I voted yes on prop 19. And to top it off I am so poor it hurts. No profiting. But keep ... Read More.

Tonkatsu on "Dope Days Are Over?" Great, so now I have to go back to shady dealers that also sell stuff like cocaine and ecstasy. I'm so tired of the federal government working against my interests, ... Read More.

Chester_Arthur_Burnett on "Valid Voting" Exactly right in both comments, Ken_Volok. There is not always a correlation between precinct registration and actual turnout, especially in a mobile and often changing population of students. Many people ... Read More.

Ken_Volok on "Valid Voting" And now for commentary: A candidate like Pappas could never win Isla Vista. If he seriously thinks this district is a winning one for him, he must be deluded. If ... Read More.

DonMcDermott on "Our Dueling Mayors" Well one reason why is because the costs are so staggering due to the numerous creeks that need repair/restoration. Mission Creek and Arroyo Burro aren't the only creeks in need ... Read More.
