tonight, we hear from two columnists who've taken a wider view of the issues raised: eugene robinson of the "washington post" and ross douthat of the "new york times." ross, you wrote the other day that this whole thing revealed yet again a tension between what you call two americas , one constitutional, one cultural. explain. >> well, i think what you see happening in this debate is much like what you mentioned in the opening just now. there are people who frame it exclusively through the lens of constitutional rights, where what we have here is the free exercise of religion . muslims have as much a right to exercise their religion as anyone else and that's the only debate that matters, the constitutional debate. and then i think on the other side you have people who instinctively or, you know, intuitively or intellectually conceive of america in cultural as well as constitutional terms. and so, in a sense, in that america , it isn't clear that islam has completely arrived yet. there's a sense of suspicion, uncertainty that you have seen in the past where wreligious grouped like my

>> i am david robinson, and i have a fourth grader his school. >> thank you, mr. robinson. [inaudible] >> well, i am hunter. thanks for letting me talk. i have a couple of kids in the district. i wanted to also address the assignment proposal for middle schools. i apologize, but i am going to be a lot more blunt than david robinson. this proposal is a disaster in the making, and i want to highlight three problems for you. i think it is worthwhile highlighting it now because you have a very impressed schedule for considering this in a couple of weeks. one, the assignment provisions are going to basically lock the east side families into poor performing middle schools, and that hurt is going to mostly fall on low income families and latino families. two, as david pointed out, this proposal is going to tear apart the spanish language immersion program in the middle schools in san francisco. and three, this proposal essentially abolishes the sibling preference program in middle schools. i realize it is a complicated program, but all you have to do is take a look at the math tha

to make a fool of yourself, robinson takes first base, pulls the pen out. pulls the tee out, gives it to a fan. and then probably, as we speak, on ebay. . >> what was this over? >> obviously he thought it was a disputed call at home plate so he took it out on first base. >> home plate or first base. >> coming up on the news at 6:30, how easy is it being green. if you're a bride. aimed at making weddings environmentally friend he, what that means when it comes to "the dress," will going green mean giving up a white gown. that's at 6:30 right here after "the cbs evening news." >> that's it for eyewitness news at 5:30, we'll see you back here in a half our and of course until 10 and 11:00. have a good night.

robinson and mr. jefferson told us know usno -- told us no. given the services early before they are in and out of jail and they can prevent -- the comfort of the citizens. that is not just a hope. that is actually a reality. you heard two examples of it. so yes, we have budget restraints, and yes, the city is asked to do the cutbacks that jennifer has described to us, but the programs that we are asking for are actually cost- effective. without adequate services, we are sending people of 5150 you into a medical hospital where they are not treated at all -- they are giving 50 given a little valium and set up to the streets fidget over sending a full 5150% into the cabin, and the budgets of what that costs are much higher than it would be if we did the right job here in san francisco. so we lose money when we send out of county. we lose money when we cannot live patients through the system because there is an adequate follow-up. we lose money because of the revolving door of going in and out of jail and in and out of the hospital 11 times in tw

. >> ifill: and jeffrey brown gets the views of columnists eugene robinson and ross douthat on the proposal to build an islamic center two blocks from ground zero. >> lehrer: that's all ahead on tonight's "newshour." major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: and by the alfred p. sloan foundation. supporting science, technology, and improved economic performance and financial literacy in the 21st century. and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> ifill: three weeks since the flooding began in pakistan, tens of thousands of villages remain under water. more flooding could be on the way, adding to a disaster which now stretches almost the length of the country from often inaccessible parts of the swat valley in the north, through punjab and on into sindh province in the south, an area the size of the state of florida. 12% of the population has been displaced-- as many as 20 million people-- and t

the home is boarded up and weeds fill the yard and robinson lives next door with his two children. >> it has to be a nightmare because it's in my nightmares. >> reporter: robinson says the called police in 2006 with suspicions about garrido and reports that little blond girls were kept in the backyard. police did nothing. >> that call was very important and it was dropped. >> reporter: the state legislature recently approved a $20 million payout to dugard as a way of apologizing what everyone has agreed was a terrible lapse by the state's parole system. even though garrido was monitored with a gps ankle bracelet and parole agents visited the home many times, they failed to notice her or her two children fathered by garrido. police are now notified if a sex offends lives within a mile of where the call originates and information is supposed to be shared more effectively between agencies and new task force among sex offenders. and he fears another jaycee dugard could be out there. >> she won't sleep next to windows. my son worries about being kidnapped. i had a dream he was in order to

my name is james robinson. my wife and i own a small wine shop here in the city. and we talked today about the targeting of big alcohol, but i think in reality the trickle down is going to hurt everyone in the chain below, big alcohol. we talked about price sensitivity today. three cents, five cents per glass. it doesn't sound like much but the true cost will realistically be much, much higher under the current three-tier alcohol distribution system. we talked about the impact on new payroll which could lead to further job losses here in the city. and i truly believe we need to do everything we can to stimulate job creations. the end result it seems that we would be steering business away from san francisco metro area. and we've got too many empty storefronts already that have gone dark. so i respectfully urge you to vote no on this new tax. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is richard donahue. i own two liquor licenses in san francisco. born and raised here for 57 years and i've got 40 years of bar ownership or management. i came on short notice.
