Very true. Next to Nate Holden, who despises his district's people so much 
that he will not live in his district for fear of their wrath, no other city 
council member is as irresponsible and despises his/her constituents as 
much as " Uncle Ruthie " Galanter. She is filled with contempt towards the 
average citizen, and has won re-election straight out of the PRI 
handbook, with the full support of Riordan and the TIMES. Finally after 
her entire time in office  she is beginning to realize the extent of the gang 
problem in Venice spilling over into the nearby areas of Mar Vista - its 
about time ! As usual she is too little too late, no doubt being preoccupied 
with small insignificant nonsense that means little to the lives of her 
constituentuents, like some animal rights crap or some radical feminist 
garbage. Her time is UP !

Everyone of them should be recalled

Because the media have gone along with the consensus of 
depoliticization, which have established southern Cal. as fascist. " Nada 
politica y mucha administracion  " as Porfirio Diaz described his Mexico - 
such is the reality of southerrnCal. We are paying the price for it, which we 
need not pay. I say recall the whole council. Riordan can stay though. As 
for new Chief Parks, is it just me or does he give off the feeling of a black 
Daryl Gates ? - SM
