Comments on: Common sense in San Francisco? Be still my beating heart! http://www.bookwormroom.com/2008/03/05/common-sense-in-san-francisco-be-still-my-beating-heart/ Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.

The city can reimburse the Marines (or Army, either way - I'll leave out the Air Force and Navy jokes) for their time - an E6 Staff Sergeant pulls about $200 a day after pay, housing, and separate rations. This means the city could cover 25,000 days of moving the supervisor with no need for remodeling AND provide the reason why they would allow the Marine recruiters to remain. If they just took a detail from the language school at the presidio, they could drop the per day pay to about $150. This should cover them for the next hundred years or so, or until a reliable counter-gravity chair can be made.

How about this – let’s have SF “borrow” two Marine recruiters to carry her, chair and all, up to the podium and down as necessary.

In post-modern times, the only reason the tribe exists is for the leader's benefit. Back in Ancient times, cripples couldn’t become leaders of their nation.
