Sigh....
Submitted by Starwing on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 1:46am.It's too bad. I wonder if
Submitted by Merwyn Haskett on Tue, 02/06/2007 - 5:59pm.Based on the rhetoric in certain online discussion forums it's a wonder those in Olympia who are hatefully anti-homeless aren't up in arms wanting all religious leaders, or at least the Catholics, driven out of town.
Hey Merwyn..
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 02/06/2007 - 6:10pm.welcome back
ThanksThis is important
Submitted by Merwyn Haskett on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 4:53pm.This is important enough and urgent enough. Plus I'm mad enough. Also I never stopped lurking, how else was I going to keep up on what's happening, listen to KGY?
Maybe we can have a couple good months before I'm informed again that diverse opinions are at worst trolls, at best sports bloggers.
I visited the camp last night after work, ran into Janet B and met Phil. Wasn't mugged, wasn't threatened, wasn't insulted or abused, and a couple hours later even heard some good music.
sit happens..

I hate being a chickenshit but in my present "state" I don't want to run into any arrest troubles. I was pushing it at the port protests and I'd rather not push my luck any further.
I hope all goes well, stay safe.
not chickenshit
Submitted by Sarah on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 9:09am.What's with the City? First
Submitted by Mary Baker Eddy on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 7:37am.Then you have Laura Ware feeling betrayed that Camp Quixote's organizers didn't talk to her first. Betrayed? She votes for an ordinance practically outlawing a group of people and then feels betrayed that they don't get her permission to react!
As for the mayor, I don't know what kind of face he was wearing when he visited the camp, but to the paper he refered to them as a militant slice of the homeless population and said he wasn't impressed.
Well shoot...
Submitted by crackhole on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 11:33am.what do you expect or want the city to do?
Submitted by chad360 on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 5:44pm.them=the city?
you=you? or me?!
Blatant taunting of bears will get you bitten! what do you expect out of "them"...
denial of service is denial of service--
I am underserved by my municipal government as well, so what are we gonna do about it?
Taunting the city folks will not resolve anything and will only make the Union look bad--
maybe TESC &/or St. Martins can intervene and host a peace-in? can't each student host a "guest"? max out the showers, hit the laundry, get some chow! make a nice time for any kids that are caught-up in this silly "adult" game!
