FREE SAL!

Disgusted enough by this clear case of machine-abuse and icon-slavery of our fellow animated citizens?

Sal ("Laughing Lady" was what us kids called her) was among the first animated figures ever made in this country. She was installed in the Funhouse at Playland at the Beach in San Francisco, sometime in the early 30's by the Whitney Bros. She quckly became the surrogate mother for generations of San Francisco's children.

Of course, the present occupiers of San Francisco, with their fancy robotics and AI, don't know that and couldn't care less. Hell, they don't even have any respect for the first rule when crossing the La Honda border in Southern San Mateo Co. on their migrations to our City by the Bay, —NO LEFT TURN UNSTONED.

"For crissake," one very geeky nerdekin from Silicon Valley said to me, "We build the damn machines, we don't run home to them with our report cards!" (Wanna bet, my little wirelette? who do you think scanned your SAT test and said to you, "Good Boy! Now you can go to college." Your mother?) Homland Security should have asked for their papers when they immigrated to S.F.

Well, no matter, it's hardly worth the effort to try and explain to the wunderbytes just what they owe to Sal and the other mache' mothers everywhere, the same ones who raised generations of Silicon V.'s own parents. Jeesh, the only difference between h.automatonus (us) and h.animatonus, is a few letters of the alphabet . Time to Say,
