Regional powers provide a pittance in aid to tsunami victims in Solomon Islands
The response of the Australian and New Zealand governments to the humanitarian crisis in Solomon Islands underlines their callous indifference toward the people of the Pacific island states. A massive earthquake triggered a tsunami on April 2, devastating much of the Western and Choiseul provinces and causing a series of landslides on Ranonga Island.

T Train 25% on time;Engineering Report on Central Subway 39% done
The boondoggle, palm-greasing scheme known as the T Third train is now supposedly 25% on time, up from 12% on time, both signs of a failure in the planning stages, wasting almost $700 million from us tax payers. Meanwhile, the other palm-greasing construction project, the worthless Central Subway which is to go from 4th & King to Clay & Stockton, not solving any transportation problems, has an engineer's report that is 39% done....

But when a genuine whack-job comes along--the kind of guy who calls himself "Question Mark" and turns in essays on bloodbat...

What happened to our fundamental right to liberty?
I don't know if "health, housing, public service" is the correct topic title. I just want to share a horrific story that I think people should be aware of since this really did happen to me. I had a temper tantrum on July 30, 2006, and two of my windows were accidentally broken when something that I had thrown accidentally hit them. Next thing I know, five male police officers storm my apartment, I'm handcuffed, taken to SFGH on a 5150, drugged without my consent or even knowledge, denied ...
