about marijuana and the culture of drugs. They
did several movies....until finally....someone
took serious offense that Tommy Chong was trying
to make a buck or two selling "Bongs" on the World
Wide Web! Tommy went to jail...."because" he had
represented "the drug culture" in his movies.
Miscarriages of justice...happen all the time...
but now that the DNA technology has taken root...
a few times those wrongs have been righted. The
wrong guy that was convicted....finds out 18 years
later...he didn't do it!
Well, so it is with "Underground Utilities". The
big recount last week netted ZERO improvement in
the bad result. 505 Cheapskates AGAINST and 501
FOR undergrounding those utilities on Balboa Island.
We have been remiss in making any statement on this
precisely..because it was... so so sad.
This is probably one of the biggest "Miscarriages
of Justice" since Judge Christianson beat several
very good, able and dare we say "honest" opponents...
for Superior Court Judge..way back in the 50's and
60's! Judge Christianson was an "alcholic" and loved
letting his drinking buddies off for drunk driving,
even when someone got hurt and those that were drunk
in public. But he also hated teenagers...especially
ones that lived here in Newport Beach. But that is
another story!
Needless to say....we now hope upon hope that Balboa
Island will be the last place in Newport Beach to ever
get their "Underground Utilities". Let's hope that a
big list of all those that voted against - 505 members
"against a decent society" be published and placed on
every telephone and utility pole on Balboa Island.
Their names should be placed on every public notice
board, the Penny Saver, the Auto Trader as well as
their names be placed in all the local newspapers.
They all should be very proud of their accomplishment.
They should of course pay for all this good Public
Relations - but what are the chances of that? Or,
how about just a Public Apology? But hey, that is
only a slim hope. Maybe they will find God and offer
a great "Public Conscience. Maybe even "Remorse!" No,
go watch the City Council meeting and their overjoyed
response to maintaining the Blight on Balboa Island.
Maybe "Eminent Domain" would be a solution?
Well, that aside....let the rest of our great Newport
community learn by their example. Underground those
Utilities..as quickly as possible. Pay extra - in fact,
to expedite the process. Yes, friends and neighbors..
.....we need to show the rest of Orange County that
we are not all Balboa Island Cheapskates in Newport
Beach. Sadly, the Little Island already had done their
part....but didn't seem to phase anyone but those that
live on Collins Island.
Sad.....
