Why a blog?
October 18th, 2004 . by JetmanI’m finally jumping into the blogosphere. I’ve got several projects going on, and it’s only two weeks until election time.
Ranch stuff - we’re trying to build a fourplex to live in up near Vacaville and Fairfield, California. This is getting to be quite the project since there is a piece of legislature called the Williamson Act which takes some working around. You’ll see more about that as I continue working on the project.
Iraq war - I’m continually surprised at the viewpoints of people around me. Of course California is a very Democratic state, however there is a serious disconnect between military families and the ‘rezidents’ of CA. The problem is in information assessment. The latest polls show that the military families are overwhelmingly backing Bush because they feel he’s a better leader.
I’ve decided to put a letter together for my friends, and send it with a book called ‘Dirty Bomb: Weapons of Mass Disruption’. I will publish it here later.
>>>there is a serious disconnect between military families and the ‘rezidents’ of CA. The problem is in information assessment.
Maybe it’s because the information is being promulgated to CA rezidents in English. Perhaps Spanish would work better.
Then again, you’d have to also publish it in the other six languages our state puts onto the voting ballots. To be inclusive, of course!
I have a hard enough time trying to understand the issues on the ballots in plain English. Can you imagine the complexity of it in Tagalog?
