Mike,
I understand your arguments against the "Rainy Day Fund," and there
is an ideological point to be made, but I hope even you'll admit that
it is far from the most objectionable thing on the ballot. I expect the
measure to pass overwhelmingly — probably with something like 80% of
the vote. It would be a shame in my opinion if you spent any more
energy railing against the city setting aside a portion of its revenues
during flush times when there are so many more deserving ballot targets
to choose from. Not to mention the things that aren't even on the
ballot, like Fiona Ma's misguided effort to ban street fliers and
posters or the new registration requirements quietly being enforced
against freestanding newsracks.
Yours in liberty,

Dear Editor,
In his article, ""Rainy Day Fund" shows S.F. Supervisors aren't all
wet", Nathan Nayman demonstrates how much our business community
suffers
from low expectations when it comes to City Hall. This Charter
Amendment
is called the "Rainy Day Fund" as it suggests City Hall should save
money during surplus times rather than spend it. While some of its
accountability aspects are good, putting politicians in charge of a
"Rainy Day Fund" is like having foxes guard the henhouse. If and when
we
ever see surplus funds at City Hall again, they should not be put into
a
"Rainy Day Fund". The only safe place for extra tax money is with the
taxpayers. Surplus funds should be returned immediately as they do in
Colorado. Their taxpayers now have a stake in maintaining their budget
and are forcing politicians to cut spending. We should expect the same
and more. Vote for high expectations from City Hall. Vote NO on G.Michael F. Denny

Subject: Re: [lpsf-discuss] gun controlI like this approach.
In a utopian anarchistic society, I expect that everyone would have
differing opinions on most everything; there would be no need for any
central law. I would hope to publish a list of suggested rights, which
when followed, will probably work well in your dealings with other
people, but would certainly be viewed differently by different folk,
improved upon, or completely ignored, at no loss to anyone who relys on
themselves and defends their own.-Dilger

You seem still to be wanting to define abstract rules to cover all
cases, and that is just what I am trying to get away from. I'm not
sure
we need a rule that defines all parody as protected, or as injurious.
Why not let the parties involved in each case settle it, without
imposing the constraint that everybody's solutions have to be the same?
Guidelines evolve as case law, so I think in general people would have
a
pretty good idea where they stood.From: Steve Dekorte [mailto:steve@dekorte.com]

Subject: Re: [lpsf-discuss] gun controlI was dismissing the idea of "free speech grounds." The relevant
question isn't what abstract "rights" I might possess but whether my
actions have injured someone.Parody often "injures" people. It can even put them out of business.
Should it not be a protected form of speech regardless?Cheers,
Steve
