The Bee Wins Law Suit: Is Print Media Really Concerned About Informing The Public

Submitted by freedomfighter on Sat, 2009-11-07 06:52.

The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.

The Farm Beat: In Defense of Goats

Submitted by johnholland on Fri, 2009-11-06 12:46.
Today’s oddball e-mail comes from a group called SuperGoat.org, which promotes goat milk. The occasion is the release of “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” a movie about U.S. military personnel trying mind-control techniques against potential enemies in the 1970s. This includes, yes, trying to kill goats by staring at them. The e-mail quotes a Sonoma County milk producer eager to set the record straight. “Even though the movie portrays goats as susceptible to mind control experiments, in real life it would be quite the opposite. Once you look into a goat’s eyes, it’s more likely they’ll have control over you,” said Jennifer Bice, Owner, Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery, home to 350 goats, and Founding Member of SuperGoat.org. “Goats are sweet, loving, intelligent creatures who contribute much to society.” The e-mail goes on to note that goat milk has many health benefits and that it is consumed in greater volume worldwide than cow milk.

Mexican Pot Gangs Infiltrate Indian Reservations in U.S.

I would like to see the U.S. legalize Cannabis, control it just like pharmeuticals/ liquor, and sell it with a tax. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Seems to me like everyone and their brother uses it for something.

The Farm Beat: It All Starts in the Nursery

Submitted by johnholland on Mon, 2009-11-02 15:06.
I’ll be writing at length next week about Dave Wilson Nursery, which will be inducted Nov. 12 into the Stanislaus County Ag Hall of Fame. This company near Hickman is a major producer of fruit and nut trees for commercial growers. This is the third time in six years that the inductee will come from the nursery industry. Burchell Nursery did it in 2007, fruit breeder Floyd Zaiger in 2004. This reflect the special place that the county holds in agriculture. Not only does it produce a lot of fruits and nuts; it produces a lot of the trees that produce these crops in California and beyond. It’s a combination of having the right climate for nursery production and some pretty savvy people working in this field.

If Steve Madison,Olsen,and Muratore reduce Builders Fees and Zagaris gets Vested Maps it's the Village I Debacle all over again

Submitted by truthseekers on Mon, 2009-11-02 05:59.

Development that doesn't pay for its self.  Modestans being forced to pay for things BUILDERS should be paying for.

That appears to be what they're after. 

Is that what the citizens of Modesto want? 

I don't think so.

As the mother of the bride, you are as eye-catching as the bridesmaid on your daughter’s important day. Looking for mother of the bride dresses is one of the most important things for you to do.

Sockpuppets, culpabilty , nonfeasance here on the hive??????? I have taken it upon myself to forward email to Dan Day

Submitted by wilderj on Sat, 2009-10-31 06:06.

This is getting stupid and the hives failure to enforce their own rules is adding to the stupidity.  Dan has said what the guidelines are and he has acknowledged that many are breaking the rules. The problem I have is; this is creating a very unstable environment by not stepping in. I am a logical person, but, I do not see the logic here, Whether it is for or against someone I support. I do not agree with the (perceivable?) stalking of Robert Stanford by jheaton and do believe he may have a great case after this election is over.

The crap sockpuppet and activist1 put about Joe Cataline with illegally obtained pictures is a violation of hive rules. Yes, it does make me reconsider my vote, but it is what it is, and I think Olsen hasn't done enough to keep her on the council. I believe Joe will best represent what is most important “OUR YOUTH”.
