David Ciaffardini: Legoland Infects Central Coast" /. Central Coast News Mission. Sunday, August 21, 2005. Legoland Infects Central Coast. Driving north on Highway 101 through Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo, I look at the interlocking succession of pre-fabricated and formula buildings along the highway and I am struck by a one-word epiphany: Legoland. Are there so few business owners who want their buildings to speak for the singular character and superior quality of their businesses? At one time sandbox...

David Ciaffardini: Deciphering the Symbolism of Katrina" /. Central Coast News Mission. Friday, September 02, 2005. Deciphering the Symbolism of Katrina. It's often instructive to view the world in terms of symbols, knowing there is truth to be deciphered in the symbolism in everything we experience in our lives. Our leaders have committed our country to spending thousands of lives and trillions of dollars in Iraq. With evidence showing that Iraq posed no military threat to our borders, it has become...

David Ciaffardini: U.S. Troops Are Government's Abused Children" /. Central Coast News Mission. Thursday, August 18, 2005. US Troops Are Government's Abused Children. Our United States military men and women waging war in Iraq are our government's abused children. They deserve our support and compassion. And their abusers deserve our reprimand. So how do we best support our troops? And all along we pray and pray again for peace to prevail in the world and in all our hearts. But, in this case, the answer ...

Santa Barbara: Conserv-ation" /. Central Coast News Mission. Thursday, January 12, 2006. When I was in graduate school, a fellow student accused me of being a conservative (funny, huh? I’ve never particularly liked labels like that because I think they make communication more difficult than it needs to be. People argue with what they assume other people believe based on liberal and conservative archetypes instead of just listening without prejudice. Hardship today to prevent possible. Ron Fink, Lompoc.

Santa Barbara: What we knew three years ago." /. Central Coast News Mission. Thursday, December 15, 2005. What we knew three years ago. I’m coming from a slightly different, but not diametrically opposed angle. I’m actually getting tired of hearing how badly the mainstream media failed to get people to realize that invading Iraq was a bad idea. If you followed enough media reports, it was easy to see that the Bush administration was hyping the WMD story. First in January of 2003:. Unprovoked attack on Ir...

Santa Barbara: Dust in the Wind" /. Central Coast News Mission. Thursday, December 22, 2005. Dust in the Wind. Things Come and Go. Most aspects of the way that Americans currently celebrate Christmas are relatively recent inventions and co-options of the practices of non-Christians. It’s rather ironic that Christians take offense that others don’t adequately respect their. Can I do that without appreciating how “my” kits pushed aside wood and paper? In some times and places in the precursors to the Unite...

Santa Barbara: Can we expect peace this year? Central Coast News Mission. Friday, January 06, 2006. Can we expect peace this year? I’ve been staying away from all of the latest Bush scandals, but I can’t do that forever. It wouldn’t be in my nature. I predict that this is going to be a very ugly year for this country. My rationale has been spelled out by many such as Howard Fineman in his recent column, The 'I' Word. Mickey P. Rowe (mrowe@lifesci.ucsb.edu). Posted by Mickey P. Rowe at 1:31 PM. Instead th...

Santa Barbara: Acts Of Humans" /. Central Coast News Mission. Friday, October 07, 2005. I hope no one's been disappointed by my tardiness. The last couple of weeks have been busier than I anticipated. It's going to get worse as I'm going to a conference in a couple of weeks and another conference a few weeks after that. I will be, at best, erratic for a while. With respect to timing, that is. Anyhoo, the subject for the day is Katrina and global warming. are there any causal connections? You could insert...
