i was happy to hear the gift fund come up for discussion. the reason why, i would like to recommend to everyone in this room read today's letter to the editor in "the examiner." the title is "sf should keep an eye on laguna honda gift funds." if there are any further hearings regarding laguna honda hospital, that one person should be invited who would have plenty of information to discuss this mr. patrick shaw. i was disappointed not to see him today. i guess he is tied up or did not realize that it was going to be brought up. for the three members of this committee, i would like to say my standard speech on the three things that everyone should remember about city government. first, and obstruction of justice. second, dereliction of duty. third, abuse of power under the color of authority. if everybody would consider those, i think the city government of san francisco would be in far better shape. i think you again for having today's hearing. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning, supervisors. i am just going to

the whole gifting thing -- people were sharing things. it would have been in bad taste to sell things. one year, firewood. they desperately want offsite to do it. we did not think it was evil, but we just thought it was tacky. and we stayed true to that sort of thing. it would be too much to expect, we are going to make it not commercial. that is how people are going to bond to our brand. not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. w

>> thought item we disagreed on was assessment on the state of the gift fund. the observation was to look at the summit annual basis instead of quarterly. we will certainly discuss this with the cfo and see if we can review the item. >supervisor campos: what is the concern with doing it on a quarterly basis? >> good morning. i am the deputy chief financial officer at the hospital. they are suggesting a quarterly assessment to make sure there is enough funding for patient use. since the balance is still pretty high, we think without any further donations to the gift fund, with current balance we should be able to cover expenses for at least 10 more years pertaining to the spending levels with past history. we do not feel we need to do the quarterly review to see if we need to be able to budget or limit the use of the gift fund. we currently have a process in place. we do quarterly reporting of the expenditures -- on the donations to our commission. we do look at the quarterly. we do not think we do an assessment to determine the limited funding expenditures. sup

we just said, everything is a gift in our city. you cannot buy or sell anything. there is no advertising. you are not surrounded by this nattering pandemonium of commercial messages, which is so relentless. and lo and behold, we discovered, had a certain point in a community, when everyone is giving, -- people began to have experiences that were revelatory. they began to feel like they were in touch with that unconditional reality, which perhaps in their youth they identified as their life's goal. it creates a world in which -- just saturated with meaningful encounter. and it seems to have been contagious because people have now left our event and they have left our world and they continued to do activities. they did not go to a festival and say their appetite. they came back and tried to change their world. that is why we are starting this burning man project. we think there is a law that we can do together. try it sometime. try living for eight days without buying, selling, listening to an ad, and tell yourself, disco to give things to people. see what that is l

that sometimes if official i do all this even if there be no very good in the ideals of some very gifted dreamers they are doomed to be killed what would be devoured because because if something is you are forced to love something. it kills so you think it's still possible to say those ideas being killed. ideal first goal is not so one of the best ideas in the world. of christianity and many other ideas but something reality of socialism was crippled because we were forced to laugh and even one step to the right to the left it was characterized the trail by our power and i think that evil talk about the future i think the third ration was really a little bit childishly but in this. same time wisely predicted by sahar when he just used unfortunately he used very. difficult for a so-called ordinary people world community and say come here of the converse of this but it's absolutely practical in musical world the idea to save everything do in the past some good features of the ideas of such a list. everything the best the source is from the source there is no mine was. crimes of socialism a
