Some guidance
This letter is to Mr. Guff Worth.
Mr. Guff Worth if you dislike the Academy Awards so much, I suggest you turn your TV to a different station or read a book so you won’t get so upset with them.
I myself enjoy the academy awards very much. I get to know what movies to watch, and to see the beautiful dresses the women wear. I can’t afford to even buy one, but to look at them makes me happy.
Mr. Guff Worth I read your letters, and find you complain a lot. Why don’t you write about something you like, I would enjoy reading them.
I think you are an older man. I’m 78 and enjoy happy things like the letter from Ron Rose about the benches at Library Park. It would be great to have them, he came up with a solution, and Kevin Nance wrote about sidewalks in Hidden Valley.
So Mr. Worth if you write maybe less, like once every week, your letters would be more readable and enjoyable.

On the agenda
Agenda 21 is a 300 page document that was produced by the United Nations. Most of the UN’s membership is made of socialists or communists, therefore, it is safe to assume that a document produced by them would contain their ideals. This document was presented by the UN and accepted by our Government in June 1992. In 1993 President Clinton, by Executive Order, formed the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) instructing the Council to devise a way for Agenda 21 to be woven into national policy.
The PCSD consisted of 25-members from industry, government, and non-governmental organizations included the US departments of Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, State, Education, Environmental Protection Agency, Council on Environmental Quality, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Ciba-Geigy Corporation; Pacific Gas & Electric Company; Georgia-Pacific Corporation; Chevron Corporation; Citizens Network on Sustainable Development; General Motors Corporation; S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.; Enron Corp.; Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc., National Resources Defense Council; Sierra Club; The Nature Conservancy; AFL-CIO; National Wildlife Federation; Environmental Defense Fund; Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
By 1996 the PCSD had devised the process by which Agenda 21 would be embraced by all of sectors of our country it was called Sustainable Development and its tool was environmentalism and its hammer was manmade global warming. The focus of Agenda 21 is defined by the UN as “a blueprint to rethink economic growth, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection.” This is called the three Es of Sustainability. The “blueprint” document, Agenda 21, not once mentions individual rights or private property rights. Its focus is collective rights. Today you will find nearly every local, state and federal government department and agency incorporates the tenets of Agenda 21 in their planning process. Somewhere you will find their dedication to the three Es within their directive.
Recently our county government approved a proposal asking them to join with several other counties and place Lake County in the “Northern Inner Coast Range State Conservancy.” It was published that this Conservancy would be modeled after the Sierra Nevada Conservancy.
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy states on their Website:
Our Vision: The magnificent Sierra Nevada Region enjoys outstanding environmental, economic and social health with vibrant communities and landscapes sustained for future generations.
Our Mission: Sierra Nevada Conservancy initiates, encourages, and supports efforts that improve the environmental, economic and social well-being of the Sierra Nevada Region, its communities and the citizens of California.
Their “Vision and Mission” are the three Es of Sustainability.
Under Agenda 21 you may own your property, pay taxes on your property but will be told what you can and cannot do on your own property. You essentially will become a serf. Two parts of Agenda 21 are; “The Wildlands Project”: for controlling then protecting the land and everything else not human — from humanity and “Smartgrowth” to “limit” human impact on the environment. Agenda 21 is not about saving the environment it is about controlling you and redistributing your wealth.

Being fair
I am truly curious as to how voter ID requirements disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters if they are actually eligible. And why would such requirements favor Republicans and discriminate against Democrats if all voters are actually entitled to vote? Are level playing fields no longer a liberal policy?
And as for Ellen Karnowski’s March 1st letter detailing her president’s accomplishments; I am happy that her and his other followers are satisfied with his tenure. However there exists a very large contingency of Americans, including myself, who cannot wait for his exit and a real leader to take the controls. And I am not referring to another Clinton.
Freely expressing our opposing views is one of many things that we all still enjoy as Americans.
I am reasonably certain that Robin Hood was viewed by those that he gave to as a hero and by those that he stole from as a thief.
