i think in the article by Daniel Schwartz "sanitized downtown..." says it all in a nut-shell, when he says "...let us not crimialize suffering but look to those who create and cause suffering as criminals." Remember the movie"the never -ending story", where the only thing stopping the "nothing" from taking over everything was the dreams, fantasies, and imagination of human-beings? We must not give up and allow them to nullify all human dignity, free-dom of expression and diversity from the people of Santa Cruz. Loved the pictures. Especially loved the one of the delightful young man in the blue dress, as he is my son Brent, in whom i am very Proud! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! ellen adams
