Looks like the small signs are on the outside of the fence, which would make them in violation of the new sign ordinance. AND, the sign showing the property for sale is CURRENTLY in violation.
(There can be no three sided signs) Also, if the ordinance was in effect, Judy's signs would still be in violation because if I remember corretly, there can only be one sign PER parcel of property...I think we did it that way to stop people from lining up signs like the one business man did (he went out of business)

Political speech should NEVER be illegal. Never!

I agree..........

Outside of the fence? But isn't the outside of the fence still private property?

briandennertwhere?

Forget about cleaning up signs! Has anyone else seen INCONVENIENT TRUTH? THAT's the real problem faciing the US and the world.

Yes, it is playing now @ Regal in Simi Valley. If anyone wants to write a review for it, send me an e-mail.

The book is also @ Borders.

so Brian, what did you think of the documentary?

I think it was a good job ( and I don't mean well, but I mean GOOD) at addressing one of the most critical problems in our future.

Global Warming is not a partisan issue. Some may try to make it one, but Al Gore does not. Anyone that attacks the messanger but refuses to listen to the message is doing the world a disservice.

In the movie it explains that our allies support reform ( Including England) and that our cars aren't god enough because of tougher emission standards for China.

The idea that we can't sell cars in China because of tough emission standards should alarm more people.

Yeah! The bit about Ford & GMs failure to keep up with the Chinese auto industry is a harbinger of things to come. If a majority of the American voters relaized that our auto makers are more than a decade behind China they'd dump Detroit stocks like they were coated in Bird Flu poop.

The film's is not worth seeing. Here's a sample of what some in the scientific community are saying.

Professor Bob Carter, of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University in Australia, on Gore’s film:

"Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

"The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science." – Bob Carter as quoted in the Canadian Free Press, June 12, 2006

How about telling industry shills to shut the heck up and let people decide for themselves AFTER they've seen the film.

Mr. Sweat, are you comfortable that American car makers can't be exported to what will be soon be the largest market because they don't meet emission standards? Since when did America make substandard products?

For right now there are still countries we can export too. That will change unless we do.

Also, do you think the government of Tony Blair, our most trusted ally in Iraq is trying to mislead us when they prod us to sign onto an agreement to limit our co2 emissions? Would they really do that to us? If so, call Tony Blair a fraud.

I've now see the film and am reviewing Earth in the Balance, whcih I read 8 years ago. I have some real appreciation for the issue.

While I'm still angry Clinton/Gore didn't submit Kyoto to the Senate for ratification, I think this issue is very important to discuss.

I want to point out one thing. In 1992, when Earth in the Balance was published, Al Gore discussed the increased velocity of hurricanes due to warming temperatures of the ocean. This was fourteen years ago. Now, it's a summer fact that many live with.

He also discussed the that warming would also cause an increase in large brush fires due to less drier shrubs and plants.

I want to say, this was 14 years ago.

Anyone disputing that we have seen huge fires and larger hurricanes in the last 14 years than ever before is just flat out wrong.

Oh and by the way, the flood insurance industry has figured this out and won't even ensure people along coastal areas anymore. Why? Because the risk factors related to hurricanes have fundamentally changed their probabilities to insure.

Soon, fire insurance will most likely follow.

What amazes me is that the many public reads and follow Nostradamus' quatraines or often reads and tries to predict the ratpture, yet when sound science gives us warnings backed up by yearly natural catastrophes we ignore it.

Has anyone read any articles on Polar Bear extinction? Our current administration refuses to place the Polar Bear on the endangered species list even though we have seen a rise in polar bear drownings and polar bear's are now eating each other for lack of food.

It has been said that the reasoning behind not putting the polar bear on the endangered species list is because, it would be a subtle admission by Bush that global warming is real.

Second, had a chance to see Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last night. A large discussion is going on in the northeast regarding coal, old energy plants and increasing asthma rates. It appears the coal and energy industry was able to rewrite the clean air act new source review standards to keep their old coal energy plants in business bellowing tons of air pollution into the air and affecting millions of children who play sports and now have asthma.

The point is simple. If this administration can't even protect the things we have known about to hurt children, how can we even remotely believe that this administration will do anything to protect us from the things we don't yet see?

If I was to say in the blog that planes hitting buildings in a terrorist attack could never happen or the levees in louisiana could never be breached by a hurricane, people would call me a fool.

Yet, we seem to be doing that right now with this risk. The government is failing to take measures to prevent ecological disaster. If history is a guidepost, most social and political upheavals have started with an ecological event such as a famine or a 12 month winter due to a volatile volcano. We fail to understand this historical trend and many more will suffer if we continue to not take safety precautions.

When global warming comes into full swing in the next five years and we are officially adding more categories of hurricanes from a max of five to a max of seven and seeing fires and flooding we've never seen before, is the government and the people prepared to face this dislocation and damage?

To answer your question Brian - since Glen Becerra (and many of his friends in the press) believe he is the preordained successor to Elton Gallegly - they will print his bland quotes and highlight his grandstanding whenever possible.

The Bush Administratin has NEVER been a friend of the enviroment. Its a sad day for ALL living creatures when we ignore signs that look us square in the eye and do nothing...

Barbara have you spoken to Elton Gallegly about hunting on the islands off of the coast of Ventura?

It seems members of congress out of our area are trying to pull one over on us.

Just back from vacation, sorry for the late reply...NO I haven't spoken with Mr. Gallegly about the island hunting. I scuba near there, so I have interest in what's happening there, but I haven't seen Elton, as I "don't run in those circles" LOL

Elton is hiding from Becerra and enjoying his miraculous cure from a "career ending health problem."
