If you're in the LA area on Saturday March 29 and you want to help build a better, more representative, multi-party democracy in California, please go to the ProRep Coalition's Rally for Democracy! I can't go because it's far and we don't have high speed rail. Yet.

Depuis mon enfance, Los Angeles m'a toujours attiré. Voir fasciné. Gamin, je ne savais pas le pourquoi du comment..
Aujourd'hui, je le sais, c'est simplement car elle cristallise tous les échecs et, faux espoirs de l'industrie occidentale, et qui se répercute sur notre société.
Et certains réalisateurs, et réalisatrice nous mettaient déjà en garde. Comme Blade Runner de Ridley Scott. (Ne vous fiez pas à la miniature)

Fascinating reading about the early and present water wars in California. Part of this history was the basis of the movie Chinatown.

If you ever need a good example of how capitalism is bad, this is a good place to start... William Mulholland (and many others he worked with) was an odious man - it's a shame anything is named after him in LA...
