Letters To The Editor

I hope you are aware of the tremendous amount of noise being generated by SJC takeoffs over Santa Clara. This is the Northflow noise, which happens as long as weather is nice (most of the year), but there hasn't been much attention paid to the issue yet. SJC's annual passenger count went up to 15M, and then added tens of new gates in June. Since then the number of flights taking off over Santa Clara has exploded. I am writing this as about 20 takeoffs have happened within 15 seconds of each other. It is impossible for me to even open my windows.

I am writing today to point out the unintended consequences of the recently implemented Smoking Ban in Santa Clara. I walk my dog every day on a street called Santa Lucia. This street is lined with apartments on both sides. Now that the residents cannot smoke there, they all come outside onto Santa Lucia and smoke there. Now I have to walk through plumes of smoke. Further, most of these folks just throw their cigarette butts on the ground when they are done. The street that used to be nice to walk my dog on is now filled with clouds of smoke and littered cigarette butts. Before the smoking ban, I had no contact with smoking but now I do. This ban has literally negatively affected my quality of life. This is what happens when you try to use the law for social engineering, especially when you have no understanding

When Nicholas Soames announced his retirement in the House of Commons, it was a sad moment for democracy around the world. Soames is the grandson of Winston Churchill who left the Conservative over trade issues as well. Soames is retiring after losing his status as a. Conservative M.P. that he was leaving looking up at the Sun, not down at his shoes. Soames is a victim of political intolerance which has infected all political councils, especially Santa Clara’s City Council. England has a roundworm, Dominic Cummings, as Santa Clara has Jude the Roundworm Barry, burrowing through the brains of council members. We are witnessing the disintegration of the United Kingdom, the elimination of legislators who can think. Edmund Burke would not stand tall today, but would run to the privy, infected with the flux of incompetence now infecting our council members.
