12-5-11: art and development, study, other news

Here is an article on the relationship between art and development. If this is true, Hudson may be in better shape than we might otherwise suspect.

Here at the survivalist website we see that some people in our area are turning to subsistence?

Open space preserved. Good.

Election results, if you want the gory details.

Update on murder investigation. Annoying ad on that page.

Local business mentioned in the Daily News. Far Fetched Acres.

Cool house. Tagkanic.

1933 house. This kind of picture seems rare to me: in 1933 people did not take pictures like this too often and you can learn quite a bit from something like this.

Public notice. Chatham.

Occupy LA and the LAPD has a local link. Tyson's sister lives in Chatham.

Free Journalist Tyson Heder Now

In advance of someone saying Tyson should have done this or done that to avoid this outcome, I would like to offer an analogy.

You are walking down the street somewhere in Los Angeles (imagine that you are actually walking in Los Angeles). There you are on Rodeo Drive and you meet a tiger. You climb a tree (palm tree). This was stupid: tigers can climb trees and so, you get eaten. You should have found a door with a doorknob and ran behind it. Tigers cannot turn doorknobs. So you see, you brought this on yourself.

Why was the tiger wandering around? That's just the way it is in Los Angeles.

Now, of course, we're not talking about tigers. We're talking about the police. So, since that's the way it is, visitors to Los Angeles should get a pamphlet when they land at the airport.

Welcome to Los Angeles. In order to make your stay as injury-free as possible, the city has prepared this manual on how to avoid getting your ass kicked and getting locked up on false charges by our police.

If you see a police man, avoid looking in his eyes. If you have a smart phone, be sure to familiarize yourself with both the video and audio record functions. Practice turning the audio record on without removing the phone from your pocket. If you find this difficult, you might want to invest in a separate audio recorder with a one touch record feature.

If you are the victim of a crime, be sure to video and audio record all you interactions with the police as you attempt to report the crime.

If you want to exercise your constitutional rights, you should have the contact information for attorneys who specialize in federal and state law. One attorney is not going to be enough: Los Angeles has a two attorney minimum for those of you interested in exercising any rights.

We hope this brochure helps you to enjoy Los Angeles without getting your ass kicked by our corrupt and violent thuggish out of control lawless police. Like earthquakes, there is nothing we can do about that problem.

Sincerely, the mayor
