I couldn't agree more. San Fran-Nimby is indeed one of the best-educated cities in the U.S.

Freudian slip?

Since we're talking about SF you might have used a different term.

Today, of course, I refer to Meatless Mondays. Would this be the same crew that doesn't want farmers to water their crops?

"First, it was a ban on plastic grocery bags, and then on mixing recycling with compost. Now the San Francisco Board of Supervisorsis asking residents to go without meat on Mondays."

Hey, why not a Nuts Day for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors? I'll go for Wednesdays for that one. Was it Monday just for alliteration's sake or is there some special vibe about Mondays? Hey, that's not the day most restaurants are closed, is it?

You guys pay high taxes to have your elected yahoos suggest what you can eat and when you can eat it? I guess they already solved the homeless problem.
I lived in San Francisco, mostly in the Richmond district, for the better part of a decade. I loved my time there...though it's mighty expensive.

It's one of the world's premier cities.

The right's dislike for the city is primarily rooted in one thing....their hate for gays.

Laura, I think they do enjoy it, just like a little kid loves attention and will sometimes do the damnest things just to get noticed...We will actually be there on Monday, the 26th, thank goodness this isn't a law yet, just a suggestion. If it was law, we would just stay on the cruise ship that day and eat all the meat we could. Too bad, one of the most charming places in the world is so full of ding dongs, educated or not, there are a lot of really wierd people there, mainly in San Francisco itself and not the burbs so much.
