that seems farcical at this point. they would be more or less guaranteed 25% at this point. i did talk to somebody who knows more about this stuff. perhaps some members of the board have been instructed on this more. he satisfied me that this particular concern of mine has gone away. we will not get into it in detail tonight. if anybody wants to ask the developer, he is a member of the public, what his understanding is. with respect to developers, i think that they should do so. the other questions had to do with the powers of the city overall and what the city's restrictions are. i know there is some language that says that since there have been general plan changes, even though the general plan applies, it seems to indicate that there are some restrictions on what the interpretation of the general plan has to be on planning and land use decisions. i think that is right. that seems to be extremely -- i do not know the right word. if the housing element were changed in the future, there were policies that conflicted with the plan. those would not apply. that does nothing to

it sounded far-fetched and farcical. we talk about the are the mainstream. we are exhibiting sensibilities with the mainstream of american culture and political thought. the political and cultural movement to affect the changes that are long overdue that are stopping -- adopt animals and sheltered groups, and with full of dogs from puppy mills and looking at eating choices and being conscious consumers whether that leads you to be a vegetarian or not, we can all do something to ease our impact on the farm animals by not buying products from factory farms. we have choices that abound. use your powers and use your voice as a citizen to change the equation. i started an animal protection group as a college student at yale and we were on the margins at that point. in the last 25 years things have changed dramatically. that does not mean things will be easy. we had an incredible struggle in our society. we fought a war over slavery where 600,000 people died directly in the war. there are big social conflicts that occur that are right. they're entirely reasonable.
