I say horse****! The USS Pampanito, a submarine, is there, and also now
I believe that the Jeremiah O'Brian is there, too.

If gays and lesbians are such proponents of the peace movement, why do
they
persist in their demands for access to the military? Maybe some
knowledgeable
liberal could answer that for me.

It didn't say gays and lesbians were necessarily big participants in the
peace movement, silly. It said the military treats gays and lesbians
badly,
which is true. Since the city's got a large and politically astute gay
population.......do you need any more of an explanation?


The peace movement is a big deal in SF. Gays and lesbians are a big deal
in SF.
I'll bet there's a big overlap. If they are treated so badly, why do they
persist in wanting to join the military?

Probably for the same reason you did. Why do you assume their patriotic
feelings are any different? And, just like the straight population, some
join because assuming you don't dead, there are some financial benefits
after you escape.

I hope they - and everyone else - remember their disdain for things military
the next time a Richter 9.5 comes strolling down Market. Tell the
Engineering Battalions, the Army Medical folks, the National Guard, and - oh
yes - FEMA (and their funds), that SF will take care of itself, thank you
very much, and you nasty warmonger types can just go on leave somewhere.

It's simple, but then again, so are you. It's called EQUALITY,
something conservatives don't want, and don't know about.

It is pretty hard to interpret this in any other way.


Then, I'll ask again. Why, if this article is true, would S.F. have the
Pampanito and the Jeremiah O'Brian in full view, at Fisherman's
Wharf?????

These derelicts typically are financial losers for cities. There was a
move to do the same thing with the carrier Saratoga in Jacksonville
after it was decided to mothball the ship. No matter how the supporters
of the idea spun it, they couldn't come up with a plan that was
financially feasible without taxpayer subsidy.

It's a waste of money.

And a waste of valuable waterfront.

I wonder why the SF folks didn't realize that and just say so?


Dunno, don't have any details of the SF situation regarding the ship.

There are far better ways to use the SF waterfront.

Yes, build more condos. More Pier 39's. More resting places for the excess
furbags (sealions).

Amazing how little freeboard the BB's had. I fish next to it at times. Is
in the Moth Ball fleet anchoring area near Martinez.

I personally invite the USS Iowa to berth alongside the USS North
Carolina in the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC. In the 50's, we
school children collected money to save BB-55.

I feel the same protective spirit towards BB-61.
