wasn't his personality somewhat meek and mild? >> he was a meek person, a timid person, not self confident. when he got thrown out of that train, then he was humiliated. he wanted to go back to india. he said no, i have to fight this. this is really unjust. when he talked to a lot of other people also of indian descent he became aware of how prevalent this discrimination was. that was an eye opener for him. >> so were the indians who had moved there to south africa, they were mostly there to work on the plantations? >> on the plantations. >> were they considered -- obviously people of color to the whites. >> right. >> but different than the blacks? were there different strata of discrimination? or they lump them all together? >> they lump them all together. anybody who was not from england originally or from holland, they were all discriminated against. the whole majority of natives were discriminated against. people from india were immigrants and had gone there to find work and for a better life, they were all discriminated again

meek coand a lot of those discussions were taking place before i came on on a more active role in this process and so i don't have the answer for why that specific use was changed between the s o i and sally. >>> are you asking mr. meek coto clarify that on the spot this is not about singling out a property but about land use. >> the sally is uniquely different from all of the zoning districts in western sonoma and its gradually shrining as the district is closing in on the boundaries but the response is to the planning departments guidance during the eastern neighborhoods process and it says that's city needs to provide example amount of space for service and light industrial uses. and the eastern neighborhoods didn't have adequate space and so they put the burden onto western sonoma and so given the limited amount of space that we have, we took s l i area where there is currently no housing accept for 100% affordable and where the intent of the board of supervisors was to limit the use and set aside it to be a loan area where the city would still provide support for service, slight i

meek co's plan. and as devoted as i am to historic preservation and historic resource i can't bring myself to make recommendations that will essentially doom end around the hard work that has been put into this plan and to which so much time and resource have been devoted. so i'm willing to, i think, i'm the only commissioner up here that is talking about this now, but my recommendation would be to follow staff's option number three, which basically would include article ten landmark's only, article 11 categorize one through four, and individually listed national register and california register properties it would expleu any property identified in a survey as being eligible for the california national registers and it would expleuld contributing properties in historic districts. >> commissioner can you file a different perspective but i think one speaker said something that was very important and it is that the basis of the lan is to do to harm and i do not want to see us snatch defeet from the jaws

the timorous politics of so many democrats who feel compelled to rush to the middle, to be meek, to shyaway from the agenda of change that is needed, is not only wrong substantively. it is wrong politically. third, revolutions are messy things. the initial euphoria of the arab spring, the most important policy event has been replaced by the grind of upheaval that direction. yet the move toward secular society does seem to have traction. the desire for freedom as we understand it seems to be real. surely, there are forces, the islamists desire to impose intolerant theology into a powerful and threatening force. yet in egypt the foundation of democracy and freedom is visible, if under threat. whether the state of egypt ends up replicating pakistan, we would hope not or turkey, we would hope so. it surely will not be iran. the middle east is quite simply still a mess from syria to iran, yet the arc of progress as it is said does appear to be moving in the right direction. fourth, just because i can't resist coming back to this issue, at least briefly, our financial system is still from out
