NBC 11 Interview, Prop C-Alcatraz Conversion Project

[apike6]

Lit up, whose power is it going to take away to run it? They should instead try and convert Nancy Pelosi's Hotel or one of Her Vineyards instead!

[steamroomstud]

OH lovers of alcatraz the time to honor your

supreme white security center is coming to a close

soon tourists from all over will have to visit

it in your memories in it's true grandure

where I'm sure it resides quite snugly

education without fear is the future

San Francisco used to be a forward thinking city

It will be again soon

the non rich will be welcomed back too

[ARightToBlossom]

OH LOVE OF THE UNIVERSE LIGHT IT UP!

[manofnusic]

A peace center. I love the idea.

[mhadler]

This video is a great 'Say No to Drugs' public service announcement! Seriously, put down the pipe.

[ArisztidZ]

If you follow this "logic" then are you going to lobby to have the Tower of London or the Roman Colosseum torn down? After all, they were built for suffering.

Yes. Actually, I often think about that--and I would definitely add California's missions to that list. I could never understand tourists' fascination with such horrible places.

If someone wanted to turn any of those places into peace monuments, I'd support that, too, 100%.

[ArisztidZ]

I wish I was still living in they Bay Area so I could vote NO!!

Bloody idiocy.

What do you want? Do you want to wipe away the negative history of America? That is part of HISTORY.

[KQ6WQ]

And where there are drugs, you people will come up with waked out, stupid ideas!!!

[doctressNeu]

Global Peace Center is a beautiful idea. Wonderul DaVid. You are great.

its not even about peace! i mean who doesn want peace? everybody wants it, but ur not going to solve anything by starting in SF. I lived in SF all my life, born and raised... and i want it to be the way it is, because its about history. and i kno the majority would agree who has lived in SF. IF YOU GUYS WANT PEACE, AND HELP OUT THE WORLD, START IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN!

[L331227]

I thought hippies were extinct by now? WTF.... im a liberal, but shit i'm going with the republicans on this one... this whatever hippie shit organization are not even from the main SF city, so like Ari Gold would say, GET THE FUCK OUT!!! NO ON PROP C, this prop should not even exist to begin with.

[FaceOfGod2]

@L331227 i know! this is so freaking stupid that its funny, ya know? I can't help but laugh and laugh about it. Freaking hippies. tsk.

[redishasta]

Fascinating how scared people are of peace. The petro-chemical war machine has been genius in infusing our culture with so much fear. As though there is no money to be made in a world of love! As people wake up, embrace the power of spirit and work with Nature instead of against Her, we will create more wealth than we can possibly imagine in these dark times. BAU is unsustainable, meaning, it will not last. Keep the vision dumb hippies, the meek shall inherit the Earth... we will prevail.

[norcalpat415]

Dude you are fucking dumb!!!!!!!!!I live in Marin and youre a sick hippie and need to get a life!!!!!!!1

[suraj1h]

DaVid,

True visionarys were always scoffed in their time. This would be a wonderful transformational from a place of pain to a place of peace and renewal, art and beauty. Keep going for it DaVid. If they tell you its ridiculous, it just means you are pushing the status quo of the machine to the flowing of the human spirit, human BEing. Lets give a vision of the world in which we truly want and thank you for holding this vision of beauty. AHO!

[slhulburt]

Dirty hippies...this is stupid and arrogant to think you have the right to destroy a piece of U.S. history. I hope the Federal government shuts you down ASAP. This will never happen.

[zaphraud]

I say we leave it as is as a warning sign to generations to come about how fucked up the USA's criminal rehabilitation programs have been in the past.

Whole thing lit up at night? Oh yeah, like that's not gonna fuck up ecosystems and waste power. This isn't just dirty hippies, this is a fucking real-estate investment scheme by the rich property holders - and the dirty hippies that fell for their lies.

[jessegyllenhaal]

Oh God! U hippie idiots! lol i laugh french like in ur face.

Alcatraz is a landmark, sure it was a prison, but its a museum and a rock that has surpassed history! im no republican but i know when something is so stupid!

[rocperson]

oh wow, I understand how this would be good, but the 'Rock' is one of the most interesting and historical places on earth and help make SF one of the most popular places on the earth!!!

[danMillstein]

wisdom over politics wins every time

go DaVid go

you Light my spirit

[danae53]

What we focus on becomes our reality. May we focus on peace.

[1boodabooda]

I hope San Francisco can see the value in this. It is important that we focus on positive feel good measures instead of the typical fear, gloom and doom soup that the media and government loves to dish up. This energy alone of the Global Peace Center will make people feel good when they visit, not depressed. It's time to have some positive energy anchoring itself to this island of misery.

[ShaktiLila]

What an opportunity to provide a symbol of true transformation!
