i would like to congratulate stephen adams as the president for this year. think you were great vice- president. i would like to welcome commissioner dwight to the commission. i am pleased to speak to the commission. i have been a small-business owner for 35 years in san francisco and if the payroll each of these years. i'm the founding member of sfcrg. i am finishing up my sixth year of commissioner on the building inspection commission. i know what you guys do. you work for a hard and spend a lot of time. crg was exclusively -- we promote small business. that is our function. i was motivated to come here this evening because of disagreements that i listened to 1 tb last month were you guys have this commission meeting. he acted like a couple of kids fighting over a toy. -- you acted like a couple of kids fighting over a toy. that was uncalled for. as far as looking is concerned, look is a business partner of mine. i know how hard looluke worked last year. we happened to bne mar -- be married to sisters. i listened to the complaints and how busy he is. he i

stephen: exactly. it's a loophole that jesus didn't anticipate. ( laughter ). adam, you know, i'm grateful that you came on, but you have attacked me. >> yes. >> stephen: you have attacked me in the sprn of of my superpac by saying superpacs and i, specifically, am hurting democracy. what do you mean? >> i think if we want to cancel elections and just have the wealthiest people in the america-- andun what their names are-- give millions, tens of millions of dollars, we can just ask them who do they want to be president? who do they want to run congress? who do they want to be governor? >> stephen: that would be polite. >> no, that would be a pl plutocracy, and we are a democracy and our founders intended that the people would decide not-- ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: all right, now you've hit on something. you've hit on something. in the citizens united decision, the supreme court made two years ago, they said because corporations are legally people, and because people have the right to free speech and because money is speech, therefore, corporations have the

the council that adams sent to haiti, edwin stephens, who was a friend of hamilton's. and stephens wrote hamilton and said, do you have any thoughts about a constitution for haiti? it's very interesting what hamilton did. he said only a military government is possible. but he did try to have some balancing of powers in it. he said, you know, there should be judges elected for life and you should have a council of generals to propose taxes. >> right. >> so he wasn't -- i don't think you'd call that a hopeful, particularly. but he's trying to -- he makes some suggestions. >> well, even jefferson when he looked at the latin american revolutions, he said, well, they're probably not going to work very well. they'll probably -- the people will wade through military despottisms, but as they want to become republicans i wish them well. that was the kind of -- it's a kind of patronizing pessimism we had towards people. which became more pessimistic as time went on, because the revolutions failed. hungari hungarian, austrian, hungarian all failed. what expresses american chutzpa

think they violation are, not just because bryce harper is in the fold and stephen strasburg will be healthy, we're waiting adamayson werth and they have the most solid rotation of pitching they ever have had. >> they tweeted the picture of the fantastic four yesterday. >> i worry folks are get ago head of their expectations at this stage. a -- getting ahead of their expectations at this stage. last year they went 15-5 down the stretch against a pretty good awful schedule. they can be appreciably better than last year and still only win 82 or 83 games. that's okay. this group has never really competed at that high of level, we've got to be a little more patient. i think 2013 is really the target year. >> i think davey johnson grows into his role as the full on manager and the fact they're always going to be in that impossible to deal with division. save for the mets being a dumpster fire, the phillies and essentially we're philly north sometimes or south rather. so you're always competing with the climate and their fans that come along with. >> it's fine for david to have those expectations internally because t

technology was, the religious values there mentioned 52 times in the jefferson adams letters and less than 20 times, stephen c. the impact and he is the calculus although he had been dead for eight years getting these men to talk to each other and for the conversation they are still going back reading to this day. so he's everywhere. he's fought with this story in all these unusual ways, and i think what i wanted to do in this book is the back and revive them a little it. but also to look at the founders through this outside angle of his life and values. when you look at particularly franklin and jefferson and some extent adams in the context of their collaborations i think what it really offers is a couple things. first, all of these men had a unified world view. they didn't believe was possible or responsible to kind of compartmentalize the inside of science and advances in technology and the new experiments in political life and religious life that these things all existed like ecosystems in a kind of connecting to web and one had to be reached out and find connections and the informed of life, the educa
