I knew Gavy took drugs but I didnt think he had the guts to show up at a rally. Aside from making sure he is booed off stage people should get plenty of pictures since it would be good to have some material against Newsom when he switchs party and runs for governor or Senate as a Republican (we all know the mayor is just a stepping stone in Gavin Grewsom's ambitions)

Newsom's base (core supporters who organize him more than those who vote for him) seems to be rich frat guys so I guess a pro-drug rally makes sense.

Gavin is one creepy motherfucker who needs to be stopped ASAP. The slipperyness of his politics seems more dangerous than those more openly right wing. Gavin makes sure to make no statements on the war (but denounced protests as violent and supported the arbitrary arrests) Gavin's background and base live in areas with almost zero homeless population but he uses it as a scapegoat issue since its easier to rally people against a hated minority than for him to actually develop any real issues.

While one does not want to give Gavy more publicity its a shame that any organizer of any event with any sense of morality could ever invite Gavin to be a speaker. Any group that helps promote Gavin is promoting an agenda that is dangerous and will destroy what makes San Francisco unique.

I dont know why people think I'm conservative. I got rid of city funding for the homeless since I think "those people" should work. There are planty of jobs they could take selling dime bags and rocks around the city. Giving money to the homeless cuts down on street corner dealers and without them many of my buddys in the Marina would be out of luck. We may bring in the cocaine and heroin through our connections, but I cant think of anyone with money who would actually sell on a street corner...

I am sitting here reading these articles on marijuana legallization. and it's fight for freedom in this world to only be able to be set free of the oppression of those who see it as a deterent. instead, we must suffer our lives to face the reallities that this government has to exibit. what I impose is that those who enjoy drinking, to stop. because, it's against the law. or tell one who smokes cigarrettes to stop smoking because, it's against the law. and, tell a politician who opposes the marijuana initiative to get legalliged, to stop smoking or drinking and, not to continue in thier corruptive ways in missleading the general public, and just let people do to thier body as they wish. , oh! wait a minute, I forgot, that drinking,smoking and being corrupt is in the daily agenda. and, acceptable. oh yes I fogot, marijuana is illigal. is'nt that called, double standard?
If I were president, we would all be happy and smilling.
thank you.
sincerely, johnny larson.

You know, after reading my article I wrote on "relax and read on", I don't blame any one in not understandig it. so, let me clarify in a few words.
more people die by drunk drivers, but it's legal.and, that's o.k.because, we all drink.in occasions.
and, smoking cigarettes is o.k. because, I smoke occasionally too. but when some one smokes marijuana(weed), right away, you are branded as a drugee or a pot head or whatever. well, if those who never tried it maybe they should, before the can make an informal dicission. and, if they did smoke a "joint", then you can be 100% HAPPY to say yes they do like to pass legallizing pot. it's up to the people to try and decide.
thank you.
