Yes, coyote's and people can't co-exist if coyotes aren't afraid. You have to chase them off and show dominance or they just don't get it.

There was a big problem with them carrying off people pets in Simi Vally I think it was some years back? Not sure what they did to stop it, but undoubtedly hired trappers.

From '76 to '93 I lived in a house in Poway that was 5 houses down the block from the San Diego city line. On the other side was the big Dailey Corp cattle ranch and gravel pit operation when we moved there in '76. Coyotes carried off many small pets (including several of my cats over the years) and rattlesnakes were a yearly caution. What eventually "solved" the coyote problem in that neighborhood was a housing development centered on the Carmel Mountain Ranch Golf Course just over the fence on the San Diego side.

I think you can find fault in anyone if you really want to see it.
But that said, I sure don't see how anyone could claim that Espola is afraid to articulate his beliefs, or unable to defend those beliefs. If anything I think your problem with Espola would better be described as he's a little smart and bold?

Funny how if you think about it... not giving isn't actually free either.
Like we can decide not to pay for infrastructure, but it doesn't mean it's free, just that the cost has been deferred onto future generations.

You’re way over his head. Iz doesn’t understand about investment.
 


Joe Biden Puts On His Cool Clothes and Wokes Up: ‘I Respect No Borders.’ Can Ya Dig It?

2020 presidential hope-to-be Joe Biden is letting the world know he’s just as cool as the cool kids, Daddy-O — and he ain’t into borders.

During a foreign policy speech Thursday, the former vice president said that, as Leader of the Free World, he’d be a Harlem Globetrotter.

Oh, wait — delete the “Harlem” part. Maybe he’ll add that when he campaigns in Chicago.

Joe vowed to “extend our presence around the globe.”

Is that really what we need?

Either way, borders aren’t nearly groovy. He’s hip, man.


In addition to slickin’ his hair with Vitalis and courtin’ coolness, Biden was, it seems, trying to paint himself as a world’s worth of different than Donald Trump. He noted that working with other nations doesn’t make America “suckers. Hence, he’ll “reimagine” our relationships with foreign entities.





I thought the Dems insist Trump is working with the Russians?

The erstwhile Obama official landed a direct hit on the White House:

“Working cooperatively with other nations to share our values and goals doesn’t make America, as it seems to imply in this administration, suckers.”

What does it do, Joe?

“It makes us more secure. Enables us to be more successful. We amplify our own strengths, extend our presence around the globe, magnify our impact while sharing the burden of leadership with our partners.”

We “share” the burden of leadership with other countries? I thought we’re autonomous.

Joe reached in his pocket and pulled out one of the most trite mechanisms in politics — the ol’ “this era demands it, like other eras didn’t”:





“No country, even one as powerful as ours, can go alone in the challenge of the 21st century.”

He messed up — when you make that statement in politics, it should always include “can’t afford” — as in, “We can’t afford to go alone…” Get with the program, Joseph.

But I’ll give him a pass. Albeit stale as a 10-day old doughnut, such a claim in the Washingtonsphere always posseses 2 virtues:


 
Socialism Is Back, and the Kids Are Loving It
How dangerous is the democratic socialist resurgence?
ROBBY SOAVE | FROM THE AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2019 ISSUE

For decades, democratic socialism was an old man's ideology. Its adherents were aging hippies, old-time union organizers, and folks who fondly remembered the pre-'60s left. As recently as 2013, the average member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was 68 years old. Even today, the ideology's best-known spokesperson, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.), is 77.

But Sanders is suddenly an outlier. Today, most DSAers are young: The average member is 33. The ideology's second-best-known spokesperson, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.), is just 29. And the DSA's ranks have grown larger as well as younger. Socialist gatherings buzz with youthful energy, and they are taking place all over the country.
