Re: KPCC President Bill Davis to weigh in on recent program changes

Very disappointed about the loss of Patt's show and Madeleine Brand. Mr. Davis mentioned that the station hasn't seen an impact on the membership numbers. That convinced me that he needed to see some "non-anecdotal" evidence of disappointment. I just called KPCC and cancelled my sustaining membership.

As much as I love the Goldfinger DB5, I have to vote for the Bulitt Mustang for creating one of the best car chases of all time.

Re: Affordable Shades – The Best Looking Sunglasses Under $100

Eh, I have pretty good vision (something like 20/40, just enough to be required to have glasses in order to drive), so LASIK seems unnecessary to me for the foreseeable future. For your Ray Bans with prescription lenses, did you get the frames at the optometrist's or did you just have them put the lenses in some existing frames?

Has anyone taken a standard pair of RayBans and had an optometrist replace the standard lenses with prescription? I need prescription sunglasses, but every time I go looking for them, the price of the frames (specifically Caravans) always put me off when I know those standard sunglasses can go on sale for half of what optometrists charge for frames.

Now that someone mentioned that we can get prescription sunglasses from Warby, that's worth considering, but I'm not a huge fan of plastic frames.

After only considering the idea for a few minutes, I like the idea. It certainly runs counter to the American "leave me alone" culture, but I think that culture hasn't done us much good over the last years.

I'm concerned about the constitutional issues and whether we could enact such a social policy without adding an amendment to the Federal Constitution (which in today's climate seems extremely unlikely). The speaker's mentioning of using the experimental flexibility of the Federal system was an excellent point! Maybe one state will be brave enough to try something so radical in the hope of improving our republic.

Oh, and this comment is specifically because of David's cajoling a few minutes ago.

Re: Life in 9/12 America: how should the victims of terrorism be compensated?

Terry Jason Colberg — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:01:57 -0000

Since deaths from terrorist attacks are so infrequent, why don't we just make it an issue of strict liability on the part of Federal Government and establish a public compensation fund that pays out a standard amount?

Allocating compensation based on income doesn't make sense from an efficiency standpoint. If someone with an income, say over $100,000, is concerned about lost future earnings, they should insure themselves. But to allay basic needs in the case of this rare event, we could have a much simpler solution.
