I believe Mr. Clevenger has a petition for you to sign regarding Ordinance
2002-13.  Based on the above statement of yours, we assume that you are
strongly against this ordinance.

Yes, I am a liberal.  But "Little Norway"??  Come on, Mr. Wilson.  Even you
can do alot better than that.  I was born and raised in Los Angeles.  I
lived in Los Angeles during the fifties and sixties.  I saw busing
introduced to the San Fernando Valley in 1968 when I was a junior in high
school.  I recall the general fear and panic that gripped the valley during
the Watts riots.  I enlisted into the US Army and proudly served with an
extremely wide cultural spectrum for 20 years.  Yet, through all this I
still remain liberal.  Your phobia of the homosexual community is no
different than the fear that a large white population in Los Angeles had
toward blacks in the sixties.  You can put any saddle you want on that mule.
It is still a jackass.  You can pack up your self-righteous, better-than-you
attitude, move on, and create your own little world.  I never liked
bandwagons anyway.
