Debra Saunders calls american indian name a 'kiddie name' Regardless of your opinion of the Berkeley tree protest, Chronicle editorialist Debra Saunders made a really ignorant statement when she wrote that Zachary Running Wolf uses a 'kiddie name', in her December 4th piece about the long running protest.

We do not need any Fossil Fuel Toxic Spewing small power plants closer to the Bayview Mayor Gavin Newsom has it all wrong - we do not need any Toxic Fossil Spewing small power plants closer to the Bayview. It does not matter what some bigoted Potrero cronies that work for Sophina Maxwell say - or for that matter Dennis Herrera or Aaron Peskin. Combustion Turbines or small fossil burning power plants closer to the Bayview - have NO place in the year 2007 and more - from an Entity - like J-Power Company that favors discrimination and does business in Burma. Our City of San Franc...
