		<description><![CDATA[Truthclubber, I don&#039;t much care about your views on this or other issues - you&#039;re welcome to them whatever they are, and to your credit, you often make cogent arguments to support them - but I take exception when you call me a liar. 

Your post got caught in our spam filter, pure and simple. I don&#039;t troll the filter every hour on the hour, so I didn&#039;t notice it until you called my attention to it. If you can&#039;t accept that, I&#039;d chalk it up to an inflated sense of self-importance. Trust me: If I wanted to censor you, nobody would see your posts, but that&#039;s not how we roll. 

And - after all the comments you&#039;ve posted here over the years without a glitch - if you still feel like the dialogue here is fixed, feel free to get lost.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[be aware that “not all who seek to post are seen…” -- unless they scream about that censoring in such a way as to force the nand of the hoster -- as happened here.

Although I posted at ~ 4:20 pm, it did not get shown until well after 5 hours later, when I alerted ya&#039;all about their practices -- and I refuse to believe that &quot;my format got caught in their spam filter&quot; line any more than I believe that Saddam Hussein ever had weapons of mass destruction -- good try, but you (CC Times) lie.

As for #9, here&#039;s my reply, from Wikipedia itself:

The word fascist (aka Hellwad) is sometimes used to denigrate people, institutions, or groups that would not describe themselves as ideologically fascist, and that may not fall within the formal definition of the word. As a political epithet, the word fascist has been applied, in an anti-authoritarian sense, mainly to a broad range of people and groups on the extreme right, but also to groups on the far left and at points in between. It has also been applied to people of many religious faiths, particularly fundamentalist groups. The individual, institution, or group(s) called fascist often find the use of the term in this way to be highly offensive and inappropriate.

In this sense, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the word fascist is intended to mean &quot;oppressive&quot;, &quot;intolerant&quot;, &quot;chauvinist&quot;, &quot;genocidal&quot;, &quot;dictatorial&quot;, &quot;racist&quot;, or &quot;aggressive&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; – all concepts that are allegedly inspired by the ideology of actual fascism, and pervasive through fascist states. One might accuse an inconveniently placed police roadblock as being a &quot;fascist tactic&quot; for its perceived oppresion or interloping, or an overly authoritarian teacher as being &quot;a total fascist&quot;. Terms like Nazi and Hitlerite, are often used in similar contexts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently Lobbyist Lovell overlooked DA Eyster&#039;s comment that this commonsense change in the law will have no adverse impact on the ability of law enforcement to continue to arrest and prosecute those at a felony level who are involved in cartel operations in California. Rather, this modest change in the law seeks only to give discretion to the local DA to be able to decide that which I believe the majority of Californians believe and support - that a 20-year old kid with a couple of plants in the backyard should not be prosecuted and saddled with the same felony used to rightfully prosecute the cartels. Bravo Mr. Ammiano and Mr. Eyster!]]></description>
