astonishing that millions were given to hollywood, breaks to big business, and raising education costs when california is in the low rankings of schools across the u.s. then, to make matters worse to have the gaul to take care away from seniors and disabled people. the very people that need services the most are not going to get it so the state can clear their deficit. surely there is some other to get the money without taking out of the disabled and elderly. why not take it from anywhere else! why not tax somebody or something – like gas or cigarettes or liquor, or…, or take the money from those whose needs are cared for and have a surplus – like the wealthy – like hollywood for example, instead of taking money away from people whose lives depend on these services.
what about corporations and big business – how much are they contributing to the deficit. it is shocking to me that nothing is said about the people this is going to affect in the media. disabled and elderly people are still worthwhile members of this society or have they become disposable?

i just had to respond to your article in the newspaper on this issue about the judge who is trying to stop this from happening. i hope at the very least they can get a stay to last until he finally gets out of office.

sincerely,

Mr. Yoo can file all the briefs he wants to have that law suit tossed, uhhhhhh, but I don’t think that mother & son duet are going to back off, EVER. They’re going to keep on filing & filing law suits against him over and over again. He’ll wish he could DEPORT them both.

Let me see if I have the logic right here:
The government has a lawyer that is directed to tell them what they want to hear and then somehow it is the lawyer’s fault for what happens?

Citizen Padilla, peace and blessings be upon him, has the wholehearted support of al-Berkeley, the Taliban’s honorary province beyond the seas. How fitting!
