some observations: one, applicable regulations for safety provide you cannot have mixed swimming…Read More and surfing beaches, so if the idea is to have both, you need to allocate. two, different beaches, because of bottom conditions, have very different waves -- ergo, the selection of beaches for surfing. three, on any given summer day with decent waves, and barely decent on a weekend, the number of surfers is dangerous. truly. I will not let my younger children surf/learn on those days. I won't even surf those days. four, on any given summer day, the number of people in the water, let alone actually swimming, is incredibly small in comparison to our total available beach real estate. five, as a general rule under this schedule, no swimmer should have to walk more than a few seconds to 2 minutes to be on a swimming beach. it is an allocation issue and not everyone is going to like the allocation, but that's often a part of the give and take of living in a community where resources are shared. folks who live near the train station have commuters parking in front of the their houses, sometimes with cars left for 2-3 days. similar for folks who live near the beach and can't get parking for themselves or at least their guests on a weekend. there are unbelievable issues with allocation of sports fields for practice and games. west-enders put up with bar traffic and a lot of other things. in any event, my two cents.

Again, I didn't ask you why your dog was there to start with. I asked you why your dog was there the night of the storm. Why was your dog in a shelter that received a mandatory evacuation? Why wasn't your dog safe at home with Joe Panz? His dogs didn't die from a stress seizure from five feet of water rushing in and swallowing him whole. "If everything printed was true they would have been closed down way before..." Seriously??? Their tax forms are fake?? And no, they can't defend themselves this time. You sit back and watch what is going to happen. You know what Susan? I actually feel very sorry for you. I think you are the single most intellectually blind and stubborn-minded person I have ever known. I could not imagine believing in something so strongly and defending it so adamantly while being so wrong and refusing to see it. I remember when you defended JohnnyO. Where's your defense of him now? Or did you change your mind with his arrest? One of the many things I will enjoy when this is all over is watching you eat your words.

In fact, if the reproductive rights of women were properly respected, pond scum like Gosnell would not take advantage of women whose options are limited and find it difficult to obtain the quality prenatal care and a safe abortion if the need one. I respect your right to be against late term abortion and I am not cheering them on but reproductive rights, control over one's body ought to be protected. And doing so would not only eliminate the Gosnells of the world, but would allow for a full range of services that decrease the likihood that women would face situations that bring them to abortion mills like his.
