The Ukiah Daily Journal, 28 Oct 2012 – To the Editor: I haven’t lived in Mendocino County long, but I have lived here long enough to know that we are in the season of "The Harvest." The gathering for the Pumpkinfest, the familiar sounds of black helicopters, the smells of our youths clothing inundated with the dust and sap of local greenery being processed, and the smoke which dreams are made of begins rising in the air. You don’t pay taxes on your crops, and even though many of you claim to be "Humanists" (and so was Jesus and Buddha, by the way), in truth you’re probably too paranoid to belong to any church, so chances are you don’t pay tithing either.
