Broadband Politics: Are they Americans?

    I find it ironic that one of these folks suddenly has it down on him that local government is more responsive and, thus, more representative.

    Think the light will go on when it comes to, oh, say, any other issue at all?

    As I sat in traffic for 75 minutes -- making the 20 mile drive from LAX to Silver Lake -- it warmed my heart to listen to the radio and hear the City Council tackling the *real* problems. Then I got to Matt & Manu's new house, where a crazed lunatic had been caught wandering the back yard. The potholes on my old street had grown dramatically since the February storms, and a charming selection of couches & 90-day-old Xmas trees livened up this neighborhood of $350K 800-square-foot shacks.

    And the gangs are back! I'm nostalgic for 1992, so it's nice to see the city's "leaders" helping us return to those glorious days.
