Do you consciously know about the tenets of subjective idealism? It's something you and many children share. It's a highly idealized and subjective view of reality. A beautifully pure and tautological world view where the outside has no influence. You should check it out. At least you'll have a name for your... what shall we call it?

We need to agree upon universal meanings of English words for this to work. Everybody else (virtually) has agreed upon this...you need to get on board. Please keep a dictionary close at hand when you comment.<br /><br />Re advertising: One click on my part would bring ads to the Tattler (and revenue for me). Early on I opted against that option because once that threshold is crossed, critics can charge the quest for material gain is trumping the quest for truth. I'm interested in the truth here, not personal gain.<br /><br />RE sad and scared: I never thought I was scared or sad. It's a neat trick that you know my feelings better than me. Maybe you should look into palm reading and tarot since you have these wondrous metaphysical abilities Mr Anonymous. It's a rare ability to be able to tell what people are thinking...maybe YOU should look into commercializing your talent.

Unlike some blogs, the Tattler is non-commercial: it doesn't sell ads, doesn't need clicks and therefore doesn't need to lie. <br /><br />But I do thank you for clearing this up; resident's interests should not be represented by City Hall, citizen activism is no good and old people suck. White people suck. How about kids in wheelchairs? They suck also?<br />Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-64457221171795146612014-12-23T19:13:24.002-08:002014-12-23T19:13:24.002-08:00Really?

Pathetic.You didn’t make a big fuss when the Chamber endorsed the measures that you wanted to pass (U & V). So when the Chamber posed a conflict of interest, the Tattler stepped in to “save the day” … now you’re proposing that an "advocacy" group that represents the elderly, white spectrum of Emeryville citizens should represent ALL of Emeryville and this is NOT a conflict? Delusional, hypocritical and just downright sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-12332907134958197642014-12-23T18:27:37.473-08:002014-12-23T18:27:37.473-08:00So nice to see the local sociopaths chime in!

You've told us many times but we're having a hard time remembering , the notion is a bit alien to us, so bear with us please.
