Our City does not have a a competitor news paper, that is not to say there is not other news sources out there, but if you ever look at the Sacramento News Stations they normally credit the Record for the news report, which means the Record wrote it. It would be stupid, detrimental to not have some person in the public who questions or posted a response to something that they don't agree with. Even though I am not a skilled, and as suave Reporter, and fantastically gifted commentator, and columnist. like Mike F., I am able to have enough writing ability that I can at least plant the seed for another spin on his idea or what he believes.
He was great in the email, nice, and he broke down to me how he writes, and that he listens to both sides, and then writes what seems to be his logical spin on the situation. I do not want really go into to much of what he said, because I not want to twist or embellish what he said; I deleted the email. I know for sure he was nice, and took the time to give me the understanding, I guess you may say to his approach. I will tell you what think, I think he gets both sides of the story, he does a fair review of the issue, then does his own research, and then he put's his brand on it. I don't question, the author's ability, I question rather if what he wrote on his blog was about his true feelings, or what is about keeping an inflamed issue, even more inflammatory, drama and a new spin keep the ink printing, and the bloggers -Blogging. Which I am down for to a point, because there is that fine line where sometimes, my ability to do something does not necessarily compel me or will not bring much to the story, but a lil more drama!
Pretty powerful when you think you can influence thousands of readers with a note pad, some investigation, and the in your restrictive space in the paper, find the words that penetrate, causes people to listen, and influence them; Which yes folks, Mike Fitz is that man, my grandfather used to enjoy the writings of him very much, every once in a while when Mike had a new progressive thought, that he did not like, that would be the quickest way to fire him up. Grandpa is gone, and I owe him, nothing than what I gave him, and I live and am my own person like he said. So while I agree this issue with the City has going on for years, there are far more responsible things to discuss with Hot dog eating Men............But Mike Fitz, said one blogger to other something like being fair...we each have own opinion and I so get the idea.
I never disrespected or believed that your moralization or piece of history that will live on in the scrolls of the Record, was your uniqueness through almost naivety, not in the since, almost just like it is easy for you say what you do because you can see it so clear. I meant ever thing I wrote, and it was all meant to be like one of your commentaries or purview in your reality, and or understanding; both of which I truly admire. The one issue though we disagree is this I feel; because of who you are, and the influence you have, you sometimes have and ethical responsibility to maybe think about should we be worried about overkill on a Medical Aid call, when this is the standard in San Diego, City and County San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, and on and on and on. The overkill and the less is more attitude is real world, and Yes Mike, you overkill maybe where home was always supposed to be, yes you would probably be right.
Again in a City well where there is absolutely no lack of news, the Record can sometimes only find things to write about that maybe be current, and well intended, but are akin to the "unnamed newspaper", who decided to do a poll to see if President Obama was or if people thought he was Muslim? Well now that was a genius thing to do, the numbers were pretty shocking according this paper, they were taken aback, but you know what they should be tried as traitors, and charged with treason, and while they are being abused by the government, they can make sure they think of the next genius poll question to ask the next time.........? Point is a well intended for whatever benefit I have no Idea other than to see a brand of magic based on a loosely unknown demographics of Americans, and then report, and then make a headline this went admittedly drastically went astray from its purpose, burning bibles, flags, regressing backwards, not forwards, these are all the things that can happen with an Idea, a hot dog vendor per SE, my google search, couple phone calls to some research think tanks, then I have my discovery. The question should do I believe in my President-Yes; Do have an issue with Muslims NO.----This is not at all what I feel Mike story was akin to, I am just saying that sometimes can it be about keeping something going for the money for the paper?

Mike direct to you there was a time I wrote to you about almost getting arrested over refusing to pay for ranch dressing a Denny's that should have came with he salad. You called me back, but because I wanted to long you said to me on the phone, some to the like of "There is a saying...old news is yesterdays news, or something like that but it made sense", maybe yesterdays news should be today's?
--Interoperability
--Advanced Life Support
--Professional Fire Department
--Expectations
--Going Back instead of Forwards
--How Many Lives saved will help make the overkill less dramatic?
--We have equipment that is perfectly able to defibrillator a heart already!
--The demand that we pay thousands of dollars on getting equipment that we already have it just tells you when to press the buttons or makes the decision on the amount of jules you will get when it defibrillator the heart!
--Why is the County Not compelling Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon to forgo their programs?
One final last piece of possibly revolutionary or inflammatory piece for the DJ= When Stockton Fire Dispatched for all the Ambulances, Stockton Fire, South County ECD, and then took over the dispatching for the County Fire department from the Sheriffs Office, and then getting Lodi to join into(Not for sure about Lodi), but this was the whole County Fire Command Structure Under one roof, a benefit to everyone, if there ever was an MCI alert the information was put out, with everyone getting the information, when Mutual Aid was required, you you need go no further, you have your mutual aid assignment sitting across or next to you... and it worked for years, years, the Stockton Fire Department did what we demanded they do, but they did it good people. There was harmony between the fire and the Ambulance, companies, even A-1 was in the group, always normally responding with E-12 first in , and all of calls out on 26, who cannot remember A-1, aka"Medic 31". They system was only broken by those that had other agenda's. The fire department also did all this dispatching work from Company two not some new state of the art call enter , that the only revolutionary I ever seen at a call center is automatic flushing toilets.
There is the other side to your over kill.....Thanks for the Email, I did understand, however I am sorry I can't drink that flavor of kool aid today Mike! But you have my disagreement, but as well I do appreciate your work, and even now when disagree.
