"Who me?" How I ended up at the CA gubernatorial debates recently

     San Francisco is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the whole wide world -- but somehow I always end up going to Palestine or Bolivia or Uganda or Iran or North Korea instead of just saving all that airfare and simply touring locally.  I live right across the bay from S.F.  There's really no valid excuse -- so I'm off to play tourist in Frisco instead.

      Here's me, taking selfies in front of City Lights Bookstore, Chinatown and the Ferry Building.  Hey, I just saved myself thousands of dollars!  But then on my way back to the BART train station, I passed a building with a camera crew out in front.  CBS.  "What's going on?

     "The California state gubernatorial debate is about to start."  Can't miss that!  Shamelessly begging and pleading, I finally faked my way in.  Wanna know my impressions?  Here they are:

1.  Only six men and one woman in the debate?  With 70 people on the gubernatorial ballot?  How did CBS narrow down the field so drastically?  Couldn't they have drawn lots or gotten a bigger stage?

2.  Either the moderators brazenly ignored Katie Porter -- or else she just was being a wimp and didn't force her way into the old-boys' conversational network like the six guys certainly did.

3.  All the candidates were delivered softball questions and gave softball answers.

4.  The moderators seemed to have two or three favorites.

5.  There was no free food for the press corps.

6.  No one asked about or talked about any of the burning financial or international issues that are the main causes of California's current reality crisis.  Sure they talked about homelessness, education problems, job losses, etc. -- but these are all just symptoms. No one talked abut the actual disease.  Endless War, endless inflation and endless federal debt.  And governmental stupidity and corporate greed.

     6.A.  And nobody talked about how everything creative, moral, democratic, kind and good about America (including government of, by and for the people) is being brutally sucked into the gaping maw of the military-industrial complex and then spit out the other end in the form of death, destruction and endless genocide. 

     When the debate was over, I asked the journalist next to me, "So which one of these candidates would you rather listen to for the next four years?"

     His answer?  "None of them."
