[The Trash Heap]

My request is for assistance in getting email addresses for one member of each of the staffs of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz. I finished a 10-page letter in Word format, not counting pdf attachments of figures, to the Senator and Congressman yesterday, and would like to email it to them via their staffers. I could snail-mail the letter, but I want to share it with you all, and because this is a couple of megs of data it won't fit into the "mail me" programs on our elected officials' websites. I used those website programs late last week to tell them what the letter is about and to request those staff email addresses, but have had no response.

By my count, today's LTTE is the third good countering response to the same May 7 Shexlicker LTTE. No wonder they say there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I did find something else ironic in today's C-T, but there's no way I could show it to you here. Not counting the ads, the first 3 pages of the paper's Sunday In-Depth section were devoted to AP and S.F. Chronicle stories about the public's growing adversity to the loss of civil liberties through the NSA's domestic eavesdropping. The last page of the same section was entirely devoted to a color ad from the Shexlickers, making the same assertions as in the May 7 LTTE, and asking the public to give up another of its civil liberties, the right to drive on the beach. The C-T stands out as one of the ad's sponsors.

Just as is

Just a few words on "A better beach" by Gladys Choyke (Letters, May 7): The issue is not that the people have anything against progress. We like our beaches the way they are now.

We can feel the sea breeze and sometimes listen to the coyotes talking to each other while watching the tide come in. No one wants to wake up to hundreds of eyes staring from a $1.5 billion beach resort.

Besides, one likes to drink beer when it's cold right out of their vehicles, set the surf rig out and get ready for the big one.

For all you people who love our beaches, let's sign those petitions, because otherwise this is the first phase where greed has no boundaries.

I totally agree. I go to the beach to enjoy nature as well & 10 story buildings just don't belong.
