I wanted to agree with you at least one more time today.

On her blog she has things like... Support local businesses. What does this mean? Does it mean finding a way to reduce the number of panhandlers loitering around begging for money? Does it mean reducing vandalism like graffiti? What does it mean exactly? Does it mean finding ways to make the port of Olympia a better fit for more maritime traffic including a better use for the Army and Air Force? I doubt it. Regularly gather stakeholders to re-vision the future of downtown. Who does she see as stakeholders? Business owners? Patrons? Who exactly and what vision is she trying to achieve? Build local capacity to produce food, provide city services and address emergency situations. Is she re-visioning an Olympia that has a diary and crop farm? Doesn't our city already offer services? Who is going to foot this bill? What experience dose she have to achieve these notions of re-visioning things? Any? Who has endorsed her other than some 'candidates' (other people who have not been elected to a variety of positions) Looking at her own website she offers no experience in leadership. No definitive positions on issues other than things like widening sidewalks, and says things like she wants to form relationships to achieve common goals. What goals? Whose goals? What is she even talking about? What does she stand for other than spending government (our) money to implement a bunch of green ideals, which perhaps not everyone would like to spend money on. She works or worked with Bread and Roses, as an 'Advocacy Program Coordinator' but offers no ideas, programs, or any other way to reduce homeless people being in Olympia. What will she do to reduce the numbers of these people to next to nil? So again, what is it that makes her qualified? C.

One of the great non sequiturs of the left is that, if the free market doesn't work perfectly, then it doesn't work at all-- and the government should step in.

So why even argue about it? It's like arguing about the existence of God. Who the hell wins? It's no longer even a discussion, it's not asking questions, or trying to learn, it's trying to show others about someone's superior way of thinking about a subject that is not really tangible. I know that makes sense to you EG.

Finally exposed, my cunning trap worked! At last the Cabal that shall remain nameless (Rob Richards and Guglielmo) has been revealed, and o!, the terror!
