| EFL for just a taste of insanity The Times is a bit slow on the uptake. We ran this on the 28th. Perhaps they should just sponsor Rantburg and save themselves some effort? With a budget deficit of about $14 billion, California could use a major infusion of positive energy. So it may be appropriate timing that in this most Asian of mainland American regions, State Assemblyman Leland Y. Yee, Democrat of San Francisco, has introduced a resolution that urges the California Building Standards Commission to adopt standards that would aid feng shui, the ancient Chinese practice of promoting health, harmony and prosperity through the environment. The resolution, which has yet to pass a committee vote before going to the full Assembly, is meant to encourage planning agencies, building departments and design review boards to provide for the use of feng shui principles, which often touch on the placement of doors and staircases, the position of buildings and the alignment of objects in rooms. It aims to help people live in harmony with nature by promoting the flow of chi, or positive energy, and neutralizing or avoiding negative energy..... Oooooo. That’ll help. |

| #4 Jackal - Of course it won't run afoul of the establishment clause! How often do you see the ACLU get its skivvies in a twist over ANY non-western religious/spiritual concept? Heavens, no...that would be a blatant violation of the Civil Rights of a Minority Culture! |

| #3 I am so glad I don't live there any more. Since feng shui is completely unscientific, more a mysticism, would passing a law adopting it run afoul of the establishment clause? |

| #2 For years I've heard that sea level on the west coast is actually around 25 feet lower than on the east coast. This is of course the explaination for all of the fruits and nuts that end up out there. |
