    Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

  3. Way to go Palmdale sheriff station for listening to any Resident who would like to join their meeting is definitely a step in the right direction only if Lancaster could get on board

    • Ummmmm…they are just doing what they agreed to do in settling the federal lawsuit against them, so let’s not break any arms patting them on the back here. Their stated intention about “education and communication” is frequently interpreted as ‘if we can just teach the public that everything we do is just fine maybe they’ll stop pestering us and go back to letting us “communicate” as we see fit.’
