In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Watching faux FOX NEWS
I watched faux FOX News for eight hours on October 2, 2015.
Really nice hairstyles and makeup, on some of the most vapid, vacuous, vicious commentators ever -- do people really listen to this schtick every day?
Do the news readers and commenters get their hair cut every day? (My mother warned me "never to trust a man without a hair out of place.") It was an experiment.
Not like Lincoln's "public opinion baths."
More like a freak show -- with lots of commercials aimed at insecurities (BUY GOLD! TAKE DRUGS! BUY FANCY CARS!) Some of the commercials were repeated twice and thrice in a row. Must not have enough advertisers, so the right-wing ones pay extra for extra commercials to avoid "dead air."
Where did these energumens get their scripts?
Who taught them in what schools?
Why are they so hateful of President Obama.
Could not wait to see their Philistinism after the President's press conference.
Picky picky picky prickly energumens.
