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

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.

To step into peace

I know it is difficult at times, but if for a moment we as a people could step away from our individual problems, or believing that life isn’t fair, or that you deserve more out of life. If for that moment we could think as a human being. Not as ourselves as that human being, but for the entire human race; one human race as one human being.

For that moment, as humanity stands as one, we look at the world about us to take in its beauty. Take time to feel very fortunate to be alive. We feel every fiber of our being work as one. We know that without this oneness, without this coordination of all our parts, we could not stand here today. We could not step into peace.

Olsen and Council Can't find Money for the Parks But can find Money to cover their mistakes with the Bus Garage

While Kristin Olsen voted to close Parks and park restrooms because they didn't have any money, they sure found EXTRA money when it came to covering their mistakes is planning the Bus Garage.  Can you imagine the cost over runs when it's being built when it cost Modesto over an extra third just for the plans.

We have to many insiders on the council it's time to send a message of "NO MORE" will we tolerate campaign contributions in exchange for votes favoring special interests.

Unseen's Corner

Hello internet and welcome to your daily dose of revolution. Here is a picture of Lenin for your contemplation whilst you read this most important of articles.



Why, you ask, WHY, have these bloggers who have slept dormant these past few months returned with such radical notions of revolution. The reason my fellow comrades is that our way of life as PC gamer's is being threatened. But before you grab your rifle and hunt down the evil capitalists responsible for this escapade, listen closely. The internet has been buzzing over an issue recently that is dear to every gamer who has ever joined a server on their PC (or Mac for that matter): Dedicated servers.

It's being called "The scariest movie of all time"...

If a group of local twenty something's is any indication, the following movie is going down in horror history, as the MOST frightening movie of ALL time!!

"After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to."

WARNING - this movie is NOT for the faint of heart.

It opened nation wide on October 16th, and if you have not seen "Paranormal Activity"  I HIGHLY encourage you to do so, but only, and I mean only, if you are ready to feel fear as you have never felt it before! 

The official movie trailor is NOTHING, compared to the Movie itself!

District 5 Candidates and what they mean to our city

 I have written a letter to the editor and am hopeful it will see print. I had too much to say and 200 words barely scratches the surface. Of course, I went over by a good fifty words because the system used to submit letters does not count words. I will have to trust the Bee to not change the message of my letter when they edit. In the past they have been fair in doing so. This letter is in support of who I believe is the best candidate for District 5. I know there is a lot more to discuss on both candidates and that is what this blog is for.
Please remember, when debating, it is wise not to personally attack someone for their views. Everyone has a right to their opinion and if we all thought alike it would be a boring world in which we live. In order to represent your side effectively one needs to look at both sides of the fence, only then can you make for a good debate and informed decision.

This is the letter to the editor:
