Schwarzenegger Fires Clint Eastwood

[Ben Kenobi]

Agree with Patroklos.

Don't see why the road can't go through the land they are trying to develop.

Oh, you might want to mention that in case of a FIRE that it would be handy to have another route open.

They aren't trying to develop it. It's parkland.

If you break up Arnold's last name, you get Schwarz and negger. Does his name literally mean "Black Nig*er" in German?

Its is separated differently:
Schwarzen and Egger,
with the first part meaning black (as you mentioned)
and the second part (Egger) being a surname that is very common in Austria and the southern parts of germany.
(another Variation of the Egger-Name would be Niederegger (Lower Egger) who are famous for the production of chocolate)

Maybe Arnolds branch of the Egger family lived somewhere in the deep forest (where it is black) and therefore were called the black eggers which finally evolved into Schwarzenegger

That being said, given the choices of the Marine base, the park, and the prospective development land the obvious choice is the devlopment land.

Oerdin, this is the statement I was agreeing with. I would have said it myself but Patroklos beat me to it.

At least he has an understanding of the real issues.

Ah, that makes much more sense. I'm not sure "negger" is even a term of disparagement in German but it is in the Dutch language.

He has sex with his brother in law?

[Cyclotron]

No, with Clint Eastwood, duh.

[PLATO]

Clint: "Go ahead, punk...make my day" (Clint grabs a 44 magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world")

Arnold: "You're terminated" (as he grabs a "phase plasma rifle in the 40 watt range")

Lets see, a four lane highway is 30 yards wide? According to Oerdin this will take up 20% of the park area. So the park is a strip of land 150 yards wide?

Exaggeration Exaggeration that fails to achieve its aim

It might be a little bit of an exaggeration but not much. Type in "San Onofre State Beach" and notice how the state park is long and thin going from the coast northeast; basically it is the area west of west of Camp Pendleton and south of the Orage County-San Diego County line.

The land to be developed is north of Camp Pendleton and south of the Ortega highway (a windy two lane road built in the 1920's which really isn't suitable as the only transit route for thousands of new homes (maybe tens of thousands). It's a sticky situation looking at the map. My personal opionion is **** the developers and leave the land rural.

u decide!

Nice map!

Technically speaking San Juan Capastron doesn't have smog, that's north in LA. Oh, and there is no heavy metals in the water and the area to be developed is north of what you have creatively labeled "McMansionville".

I'm sure developers want to turn that open space into McMansions too though.

BTW the state has been trying to negotiate with the land owners of the area west of Camp Pendleton and east of the state park to have the land become part of the state park. The big problem is the land owners don't want to sell (they'd rather sell to developers and make money) and the second problem is the state has yet to come up with the money.

It's out there...

Several thousand gallons of radioactive water have leaked out of a retired reactor at the San Onofre nuclear power plant over an unknown period of time. Officials say there is no threat to public safety.

...

Lund said that there is little chance the tritium under the San Onofre plant could have contaminated the city's well. "It's two miles away and uphill from the plant. The plant is at sea level, and water doesn't run uphill," he said.

Ok, I agree that Orange County is filled with smug.
