On January 5, 2004, California Assembly member Leland Yee, representative of San Francisco,
introduced Resolution No.144 to the California State Legislature. The title of the resolution is:
"Relative to Feng Shui".
The lack of media coverage of this event does not surprise me, so I felt it necessary to bring it to the JREF forum for commentary.
The entire Resolution is posted, as it is very short, and shall I say, to the point. My comments appear in bold.
the following text is from:
Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 144—Relative to Feng Shui.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
ACR 144, as introduced, Yee. Feng Shui.
This measure would urge the California Building Standards
Commission to adopt building standards that promote Feng Shui
principles and publish these standards in the California Building
Standards Code.
Publish into the building code! This must be a joke. The state and the country are running massive deficits, cutting services and programs, and this Yee character wants to incorporate Feng Shui into law. I can see it now. Architect finishes blueprints. Workers ready to build. Ah... we must first check with the City Feng Shui civil servant!
"Na Na Na... Bathroom door no good here. Must face other direction. These stairs 1/8 inch too high. Bad karma if not change. And that Transamerica thingy, that point at top has to go or earthquake might someday bring destruction to city!"
Now imagine this scenario for every public building, shack, or tent the government ever builds. Wouldn't cost a dime to administer it either.
Fiscal committee: yes.
WHEREAS, Feng Shui is a natural earth science that reveals
how people are affected by their immediate surroundings, and its
core philosophy states humankind must live in harmony with the
environment; and
Natural Earth Science. 10 years from now it will simply be known as NES, and will most likely include those other recognized sciences like dowsing and remote viewing.
WHEREAS, The practice of Feng Shui originated 4,000 years
ago in ancient China when palaces and senior official residences
were built according to Feng Shui principles that ensured that the
royal families and senior court officials enjoyed harmony and high
vitality living in a positive energy environment; and
WHEREAS, Feng Shui means wind (Feng) and water (Shui),
and Chinese practitioners have focused their studies on obtaining the most benefit from the understanding of the flow of energies in the earth known as chi; and
Yes, the Chinese have benefited greatly---Communism and oppression for all.
WHEREAS, Feng Shui advocates living in harmony with the
Earth’s environment and its energy lines, so that there is a proper
balance between the forces of nature; and
WHEREAS, Feng Shui is widely practiced in China, Taiwan,
Singapore, and Malaysia, and it is regarded as a vital part of
everyday life in many parts of Asia; and
Prostitution by 12 year old girls is widely practiced too.
WHEREAS, Several western companies practice Feng Shui,
including Citibank, N.M. Rothschild, Shell, and Sime Darby, and
the principles of Feng Shui have become increasingly popular in
western culture with fashion designers such as Donna Karan and Tommy Hilfiger integrating it in their showrooms, and
entrepreneur Donald Trump consulting Feng Shui experts at his properties; and
If Hilf and Trump say so, it must be so! I know Trump's secret! I know Trump's secret!
WHEREAS, The structure of a building can affect a person’s
mood, which can influence a person’s behavior, which, in turn, can
determine the success of a person’s personal and professional
relationships, and the aim of Feng Shui architecture is to study how the environment in which people live may affect their lives, and influence their quality of life; now, therefore, be it
Now I know why, when I was dragged to church every Sunday:
I was always so tired and grumpy;
I later was diagnosed as A.D.D.;
I now pay way too much in alimony;
I can't seem to hold a job for more than a week.
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature of the State of California
urges the California Building Standards Commission to adopt
building standards that promote Feng Shui principles and publish
these building standards in the California Building Standards
Code; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies
of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
Too make matters more bizarre, Representative Leland Yee was schooled and practiced as a doctor in Child Psychology and in the Mental health field. He then was on the Board of Supervisors in S.F., then sat for 8 years on the S.F. School Board of Education.
This man, and any constituents who vote for this resolution should be run out of town on a rail, and the only ones who probably care are those of you reading this post. Simply unbelievable.
