California’s Government Needs Some Wind Chimes
2004-01-28
Edited to release the chi. ;)
Anybody surprised about where he’s from?
San Francisco Assemblyman Leland Yee says feng shui would create a positive work environment in all state buildings. The DMV office at Alma Street in San Jose might have to abide by the new rules of feng shui, if the resolution passes.
Sounds like a Monty Python or SNL skit....
Yee says this is what all state buildings need to create that positive work environment. So, he’s introduced a resolution to promote feng shui in state buildings. "It’s only in California that we have this diversity. We should enhance it," Yee said. The publisher of El Observador newspaper, Hilbert Morales, in San Jose was appalled when he saw the proposal. He wondered why lawmakers are even discussing feng shui when the state is in crisis mode. "I can’t believe (Yee) did this, because there are more important issues to deal with," Morales said.
Actually, I consider Ben and Jen, or either of Britney's breasts more important...
San Jose Assemblyman Manny Diaz says the state’s focus should be on those other issues. "My highest priority right now is dealing with the state budget crisis," Diaz said. Yee’s proposal is not a bill, but rather a resolution. So the recommendations would only be advisory. But it still has to go through the committee process, taking up valuable staff time.

#9  Considering the condition California is in,maybe wasting the time of the Legislature that created those conditions isn't such a bad idea.

Still can't make the intellectual leap here, huh? Cause and effect, anyone? Well, anyone NOT from the bay area?

#1  In 2002 the city of Sausalito, across the the bay from Kooksville, voted down a proposed, badly needed police station because, according to testimony by a feng shui (pronounced fung shway) expert, it "cut off the mouth of chi" and compromised "the arrows of sha" of the town. Whatever that means. Anyone know if they ever got the new station?
Curious about feng shui?
