  • Malibu’s on fire, Again.

    Every six to ten years, Malibu is set ablaze. In 1835, Richard Henry Dana was sailing north from San Pedro to Santa Barbara and noted a “vast blaze along the coast of Jose Tapia’s Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit”. The cupola things here worth noting are that A) Fires are a fact of life in this region. and B) We’re not as evolved as we think we are. When you consider that any of us who have lived in Southern California for any length of time are frighteningly aware of the situation, and yet, we continue to exacerbate the problem by rebuilding. I have a question for those who argue that the pros outweigh the cons in regard to rebuilding in Malibu. What!!, you got a head full of rocks? What makes you think that this time will be different?

  • Cupola Questions

    The Bush Administration has at most committed crimes against it’s citizenry and the world, and at least been less then honest about it’s activities and motivations.  Are we afraid to do anything about it?  There are several well known websites/blogs that make accusations against this administration.   There are several news programs that have proven in some cases that all is not well.  What holds the rest of us back?  Is party dedication more important human life?  If the party holds self-preservation as it’s number one priority, isn’t that missing the point.  What’s your description of a “Career Politician?”  Are “Career Politician’s” good for the country?

    What do you think?
