I Can't Believe It's Not a Parody
Andrea Harris links to this bizarre essay by someone who doesn't want the Navy's Blue Angels to perform in San Francisco. Apparently, this person is serious. Here's an excerpt:
We can achieve the goal of ending the terrorist Navy's Blue Death flights as we will have a very broad ideological spectrum of support, with the support being heaviest among the voting population, namely the over age 40 population and the better-educated young people. Our public sentiment petition circulated in 1999 was strongly supported by the old of all political outlooks, and they are all voters. We turned in thousands of signatures to the Board of Supervisors.Thus, the Declaration of Public Policy could read something like this:
The people of San Francisco oppose the air show of the Navy's Blue Angels over the City and County of San Francisco and demand that they never be invited to conduct an air show over the City and County of San Francisco again.
I have just one thing to say to the person who wrote this: BOO!
