Humphrey, you don't have to let your kids explore nature, but at least let the rest of us enjoy it without big brother telling us we can't.

I for one think more children need to explore nature. Video game kids seem to be out of touch with nature and themselves.

On Teacher in Trouble

Parts of Chapala Street are a canyon, parts of Anapamu Street are a canyon, parts of Anacapa Street are a canyon.

Get ready for more 60 ft. Canyons.

Thanks loonpt. like your comments

Learning two languages when you're in elementary school is intelligent.

The top-down standardized education system prevents the development of creativity because it's a non-interactive system with children and parents. Even if you can do well on a rote, multiple-choice, white-oriented test, doesn't mean you can think. That's why music and art are untestable. They require creativity. And that's why they get the shaft when it comes to funding. Until the State gets out of controlling the teaching profession, creative kids and schools will continue to suffer.

On Fighting for Survival

Unfortunately, the bias against the candidates and ideas you don't like is pretty consistent in all your election coverage. Until the reporting becomes balanced, (that means the good, the bad, and the ugly of all the candidates in roughly equal measure at both the front and back of articles) the Indy we'll continue to endure the reputation of being biased towards an undemocratic social and political "we know better" agenda.
That may be the way the owner and publisher want it, but the potential for being a trusted source of reporting that gives the whole picture of Santa Barbara politics, and that gets all the interviews needed, gets lost without balanced reporting.

Perhaps the Indy feels because the News-Press is so one-sided that you need to counter-balance them by being one-sided in the other direction. I don't know.

Local voters need a reason to vote, not just negative news about the financing of mediocre candidates. Why are your candidates any better?

Relying solely on the "Bad Texan" strategy is making the Indy candidates look like they have something to hide as well. The shock and awe of the "oh my gosh" is wearing thin.

What about reporting the good qualities of the Indy candidates. What are they?

You can do better Nick.

On Van Wolfswinkel Exposed

Santa Barbara voters are no dummies. The political backlash is coming thanks to good promotion and exposure by journalists like Angry Poodle.

The only question is, was that VonWolf's intent all along?

VonWolf is a developer. And sometimes the best way to defeat anti-growth candidates and anti-growth measures is to stink them up by association. Inquiring minds want to know.

The Poodle is right. "We’re a living, breathing city" and the best way to keep it that way is to destroy it. Don't you want Santa Barbara to conform to every other overbuilt City? So vote no on B and kill Santa Barbara. How we hate being different.

The superintendent and school board need to stand up to an awful system that standardizes public education into a one shape fits all dumbed down factory. Tell the state to shove it.

Camera's are unconstitutional in public areas but Homeland security bypasses your constitutional rights.

Dear Don, Who do you think Van Wolfswinkel wants in office. Remember, he's a developer and not as dumb as you may think.
