Tell Me Why

sailing hardships through broken harbors

I've seen lots of riots..the Watts riots, the Chicago riots, the Rodney King riots, the Isla Vista riots....and now I see another riot of sorts in IV as part of Deltopia....a bunch of young folks gather and get drunk and cause trouble....alcohol fueled the Deltopia riot..the others were fueled by social unrest, which is much more interesting....

 

 
ok so I see Andy Caldwell is panicked by some gals who want to ban fracking...Andy is a lobbiest for the oil industry and wealthy farmers in Santa Maria, and Wendy has given Andy his own platform with which to further his ideas...his own radio show and a spot on the editorial pages four days a week..and yet, due to his inability to communicate effectively, he can't get his messages across....

now the anti fracking folks, esp a gal named Katie Davis have beem mentioned in the News-Press editorials many times..Andy has demonized them, made fun of them, belittled them and now he wants to "debate" them! then he says in Sunday's Opinion, he wants a debate between two leaders of the Water Guardians, Katie Davis and Janet Blevins and two unnamed opponents of the proposed measure...then he calls the gals stupid and charlatans!! Andy when you invite people to a debate, it is best to try and be civil instead of becoming hysterical!!

the anti-fracking group is gathering signatures for a ballot initiative and Andy is scared out of his mind....of course the gals should decline his "debate" for it will only be a sideshow....there's no reason to debate Andy's friends..if he can't get his points across in the News-Press or on News-Press radio, then a debate would serve no real purpose....and really the only purpose it would serve is to waste time....

Andy says what his handlers and God want him to say..he's a preacher, a carnival barker, an idiot....

charlatan: one who makes elaborate and fraudulent claims

who is their right mind would debate an idiot?? it looks like the anti fracking initiative will make it to the ballot so all Andy can do is call people names in his News-Press editorial capacity....

that's all he can do...hide behind Wendy's dress and call people names...

gee Andy, why challenge folks to a debate when you've already predicted the outcome and hurled insults at your opponents? because you're afraid they would accept?

tell me why...
