On My Mind: San Diego Weather

Monday, February 25, 2008

No, I mean we're having San Diego weather. This is our version of winter.

Jayhawk: San Diego, CA; I grew up in the Air Force, and served in diesel-electric submarines during the Cold War. I worked in the steel industry until it sort of died in the 80's, then in landscape management until recently, when health issues demanded retirement.

I believe government should intrude in the lives of its citizens to the minumum possible degree, but I also know that it must be big enough to "get the job done." To me the job of government includes concepts that are usually thought of as liberal such as stringent regulation of necessary monopolies, regulating all business enough to prevent it from becoming predatory, providing necessary comfort to citizens who are rendered destitute by calamity outside their reasonable control, and protection of our environment and natural resources.
