mhays is also waiting in line for an education. What do SAT scores and income levels have to do with 'creative, educated people'? Seattle strikes again!

Doing density right

Just who writes these articles and what kind of background do you need to have? English as a native language? Please, this kind of sheer masturbatory fantasy cannot be left standing unchallenged. To be an eloquent advocate of any kind of city planning, you need to have a professional background, ...

Creative, educated people tend to be liberal. Do you have statistical figures for this 'fact of life'?

Witness the multiple bullets (King County Police) used to kill an unarmed man, without any record, ...

Mr. Yett is the quintessential Seattlelite. While he nominally favors 'freedom of speech', he'd much prefer slamming other people's opinion by asking them to move. Probably better than extermination under the Third Reich, but a specifically Seattle response. Don't engage the issue, wish the issue disappears, if not, wish the ...
