Conversation about: Concert Series on KVIE Caters to the Live Music Fan

Is there a 30 minute long break between each song while you ask us to buy DVD's? I love that the most.

Conversation about: STAND FOR SOMETHING

Young people paying for old people's retirement has always struck me as a very strange thing to do.

Conversation about: Parks Commission chairman calls for sales tax increase; draws opposition

If we have a sales tax we can pass the costs onto the bums that live in the parks. Makes sense.

Conversation about: STAND FOR SOMETHING

Oh goody it's Political season on Sac Press. I vote to stop contributing my tax payer money to pay for anybody's retirement. Firefighter or not.

Conversation about: Internet Radio In Your Car Is Coming Soon

I'd wager most people over the age of 30 don't know it exists.

Conversation about: Internet Radio In Your Car Is Coming Soon

I get by very well with Spotify Premium for $9.99 per month. I have an iPhone and can stream my own musical playlists, my friends' playlists plus a virtually unlimited number of internet radio stations based upon my musical tastes or mood. I can also use the same exact service on my home entertainment system and my car. I do however supplement this with local radio stations for the "characters" - 98 rock has some great talent and NPR pretty much rounds out everything I need. For me I already have internet radio in my car - and so do millions of others if they have Bluetooth. P.S. Clear channel sucks.

Conversation about: Mayor Kevin Johnson: 'We have to find a way' to save rec programs for disabled teens in Sacramento

Awesome job. Maybe Sacramento should fund more of these types of things instead of wasting $688,000 on research for a new arena,

Conversation about: Why We Can't Turn Affordable Housing Into Expendable Housing

If we're getting pedantic of course I drive on roads and over bridges built with government money etc. etc. but so far my kids haven't had one thing from the govt. They were born in a hospital paid for by private insurance and they go to pre-school paid for by me. When I was married we got maybe an extra $2K per year tax break for being married and having kids. Big whoop.

As long as I save the taxpayers more than I cost them it's a win. I'm up in the hundreds of millions of dollars range so far if I'm counting. My conscience is clear.

Maybe you have seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4o-TeMHys0 Secondly, that's not back pedaling it's a joke.

Conversation about: Locals digitally mourn Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch - Music therapy, anyone?

We’ve all lost a true genius today. My heart goes out to the family. Maybe we all jumped to conclusions due to the fact that a lot of posts on SacPress are "thinly veiled attempts to plug the latest restaurant, hospital, or music event".

Living off our tax dollars is what low income folks do. I have never taken a dime from the US government - they take plenty from me as an employer. Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.

Conversation about: Why We Can't Turn Affordable Housing Into Expendable Housing

Firstly, I'm English. Secondly, I work for a living and employ people. Thirdly, I'm not against low income people or artists but I am for economics. Fourthly, the rents are too damn high.

Conversation about: Why We Can't Turn Affordable Housing Into Expendable Housing

Living in CA is a privilege, and it comes with a premium price tag. Having seen most of the rest of the USA I wouldn't live anywhere else. It sucks. I'm from England originally and nobody paid my way and I have no safety net. If I found myself on $16K / year I wouldn't waste money paying high rents here in CA I'd move to somewhere cheaper. The fact that people don't do that means that they actually can afford to live here. Simple economics.

Seemed a bit tacky. Maybe I'm feeling a bit oversensitive.

What's the best therapy? Not using MCA's death to shill for your event.

If you have many generations of family living here then the chances are that your family is rich enough to help you out. For everyone else, Greyhound is pretty cheap last time I checked. Sell all your possessions.

With the exception of seniors and people with disabilities - If you can't afford to live in CA you need to move to somewhere you can. I hear Louisiana is great this time of year. Even better, move to Thailand or somewhere in Asia where they value the ability to speak English. Do something proactive to help yourself. It's what the good lord intended.

Conversation about: Real Relationships: Call Me!!

Great article. The important thing is to talk honestly about your expectations. If all else fails you can install a tracking device on his smartphone (https://www.google.com/search?q=track+husband+iphone)
