What, exactly, is any Republican that you can think of willing to do to make Oakland a better place for children? Arnold is the flavor of the minute, and he's not exactly helping.
You don't really need to respond to those questions if -- as I suspect -- you are invoking San Francisco and Oakland simply to change the subject.[/ASIDE]

think globally, act locally. Let the people of Oakland figure it out. For my part I have tried to involved myself in the process in Seattle. I spent years lobbying the city on constitutional abuses of their legislative power. I publicly denounced the city council as facists. And ignorant ones at that. To the applause of the masses. Oakland is up to you and sidd.

What they did to this kid they did to get to his father. They were trying to get the father to talk, so they abused his children. That's barbaric. That shit doesn't happen in San Francisco, it doesn't happen in Oakland, and we shouldn't be doing it in Iraq.

No. worse shit happens. Abuse is abuse. it bothers me less in a war zone thousands of miles away than it does on our own soil.
