| #5 the area in question is in east San Diego County, where most people move to get away from the City. Anti-war opponents have done a good job of whipping up hysteria about traffic, black helicopters, jack-booted thugs, free-fire zones...etc. Hopefully the County Board of Supervisors will show backbone and issue the land-use change (it's zoned agricultural, IIRC). Don't, believe that just because it's in California, that it's reflexively anti-military. San Diego county has more armed forces than most countries, and they are good neighbors |

| #4 I have to wonder what Blackwater is thinking. California? Why not build it in the 70% of the US that would appreciate it instead of the loopy 30% that hate it? In fact, with the vagaries of the federal government, while they should keep most of their operations in the US, they should move their headquarters out of the US, in case they have to leave before a hostile government decides to abuse them. |

| #1 Bring it to Lubbock. We have lots of space, a couple of good airports, a shortage of moonbats, low overall costs, and (contrary to popular assumption) a variety of terrain for training. |
