Berkeley, CA. Serious. They have no idea how clueless and out of touch they are. It's like a closed system that reinforces ever more retarded behavior.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

I went bass fishing on Kate Adams Lake in Arkansas City, Arkansas about 20 years ago. My bud took me to Grundy's Blue Front Cafe ( a house with 4 tables in the dining room) where we feasted on raccoon and chicken (from the front yard). It was an experience I will NEVER forget as long as I live! As "backwater" as it gets!

navlav8r,
I never understood why Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, among others, allow trash, dead animals, human sewage, and human remains to be dumped in the water supply. Then they re - use that same water for cooking and bathing, and I assume many of them also drink it, as they probably can't afford bottled water.
I realize they are backward nations without resources, but just dam n.
Seems they at least could spread this refuse on agricultural lands or compost it, where it would still be a problem, but not so much since it would bio - degrade and recycle into the soil.
What am I missing here ?

Puerto lobos Mexico, a clapboard and tin ponga village, no electricity and water is brought in on a leaky water truck filling 50 gallon barrels in front of the 'residences'. No bar or restaurant.
Undisturbed sport fishing for the few americans that venture down there. One of those spots you could read in a Hemingway book.

We used to sail our boat to Cuttyhunk Island off the coast of Massachusetts and anchor in that inner harbor.

Like krp, a tiny place in Mexico.
La Fridera on Laguna San Ignacio. A couple of fishermen's "houses" (shacks by our standard), water brought in over 40 miles of dirt road from the town of San Ignacio. Can't complain though, one of the fishermen let us stay in his "guest house" instead of camping in the ever present wind, insisted we accept his wife's invitation to dinner (lobster tacos, homemade tortillas, rice, beans, homemade cheese from the family rancho inland), all for bringing a letter out to him from his brother/cousin/some relative back in town where we got watered up.
We repaid the favor by our paying $20 each (about 8 of us) for him taking us out in his panga for a tour of the Laguna and to visit with the gray whales and their calves.
I think we may have passed through a few places worse off than La Fridera, at least my wife seems to think so.

Kent: You should have seen Lobos when we first started fishing the gulf in the late 1950s, early 1960s. The only solid structure was an 8x8-foot concrete-block ice house where the locals stored what they called "vieiras" (scallops) that they stamped out of shark meat with cookie cutters. They'd sell buckets of them to the boats that brought the ice from Bahia Kino. Where those phony tidbits wound up nobody would say. We'd fly down in a friend's Cessna, land and park on "Main Street", sleep under the wing, and rent a ponga and a "guide" to take us fishing. Sonora has changed much since I started going down there. Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) looked like what Lobos does now, and San Carlos and its marina were only pipe dreams of a Mexican developer. Guaymas had the only luxury resort on the mainland of the Sea of Cortez. The absolute most backwater place I visited in those days was a place called "Abreojos" (Open your eyes) on the Pacific side of what then was the territory of Baja California Sur, a short flight south of the salt works at Scammon's Lagoon. There was only a landing strip and two wooden shacks at Abreojos. A Mexican couple lived in one and rented the other to Americans who flew down to shoot black brant or fish. They had traps for longostinas (small lobsters) and charged $3 per person per night for room and board, which included three meals of coffee, lobster, beans and tortillas made on the spot. It got very noisy in January and February, when most of the world's gray whales congregated inside the huge estuary. Floating around them in a blow-up rubber boat was interesting, to say the least. All night long, they'd emerge and blow, making it seem like we were inside someone's lungs. Damn, I miss those days. Bill Quimby

Point Hope, AK. You'd have to see it to believe it.
Ed Try Stebbins... just a bit smaller but WAY more primitive... or Point Lay, about a third the size of Point Hope I would guess... and a bit special... Or McCarthy about the time the Pilgrims moved in and the infamous mass shooting happened... lots of places more special than Point Hope... at least there you have some!

Drove all the way around Taiwan shortly after the big 1999 quake... there were some very grim looking little towns in those days. The 7.7 quake did a tremendous amount of damage and killed thousands.
