PROPOSITION 63

Mass shooting may foster ‘game-changing’ gun control laws

Four candidates are looking to fill three open seats on the College Board IN TODAY’S ISSUE, THREE ANSWER THE BELL AND TAKE OUR QUESTIONS

BY DON THOMPSON Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — With the anniversary of last year's terrorist shootings in San Bernardino approaching, California voters are considering expanding some of the nation's toughest gun control measures through an initiative that would outlaw possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines and require permits to buy ammunition. Proposition 63 also would extend California's unique program that allows authorities to seize firearms from owners who bought guns legally but are no longer allowed to own them. It would require offenders to give up their weapons as soon as they are convicted of a felony or a violent misdemeanor, found to be mentally unstable or are the subject of a restraining order involving domestic violence. Its chief proponent, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, touts that provision as a "game-changer" in the national debate over keeping firearms from those who are deemed dangerous. The initiative set up a strange game of one-upmanship between Newsom and fellow Democratic state lawmakers who already approved variations of the ammunition background checks and large magazine ban this year. That has made the debate unusually personal, with opponents accusing Newsom of furthering his political ambitions as he campaigns to succeed his fellow Democrat as governor in 2018. He in turn dismisses criticism even within his own party as pure politics, as when Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, labeled the initiative "irrelevant" in July after lawmakers passed several competing measures. But Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed several related bills, leaving those issues for voters to decide:

1. WHAT CHALLENGES DOES THE COLLEGE FACE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS?

The college must continue to creatively program for students that enter without college level skills. We’ve been at the forefront of tackling this statewide problem, and we must continue this emphasis. 2. WHAT ROLE SHOULD A COLLEGE PLAY IN THE WIDER COMMUNITY?

California community colleges must educate for transfer, for career, and for lifelong learning. SMC provides the community with all options, and serves matriculated students and community members at the Broadstage, Emeritus, and SMC Extension.

In an era of increasing costs for education, it’s important to expose students to fields with professional and financial security.

Additionally, it is important for the college to be fiscally responsible with financial accountability and transparency. 2. WHAT ROLE SHOULD A COLLEGE PLAY IN THE WIDER COMMUNITY?

rader_rob@smc.edu and I’m happy to discuss the College and your concerns.

RADER FROM PAGE 1

SMC is more than a place to take classes. We provide unmatched services to residents – KCRW (where I’m a Board member); the Public Policy Institute; Emeritus College; dual enrollment and other SMMUSD programs; and the Broad Stage. Our involvement enriches the lives of everyone who in the District – from our Fourth of July fireworks to the Santa Monica Swim Center! 3. WHY IS IT FAIR TO ASK RESIDENTS TO PAY FOR A COLLEGE THAT ACCEPTS NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS?

(1) Our residents can attend other districts’ community colleges, too. (2) By increasing the size of SMC, it lowers costs for more classes and greater services to residents. (3) SMC’s workforce development programs (LA HI-TECH collaborative) and degrees (B.A. in Interaction Design) improve the local economy in Malibu and Santa Monica. (As a digital media and entertainment attorney, I know how important these programs are to the hi-tech industry.) (4) To address local concerns, SMC just adopted the “Santa Monica College Promise” to give priority enrollment to local residents. 4. HOW SHOULD THE COLLEGE UTILIZE ALTERNATE TRANSIT OPTIONS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC?

(1) SMC helped bring the Expo line to Santa Monica. (2) Our “Any Line, Any Time” program is the biggest customer of the Big Blue Bus which subsidizes a better bus system for residents. (3) SMC is a leader in online education; approximately 10% of our credits are now online. (4) We are a leader in the City’s bicycle initiative and are exploring rideshare/carpooling programs. (5) These initiatives, plus dispersing enrollment to satellite campuses, have led to virtually no growth on the Main Campus in decades. 5. HOW CAN THE COLLEGE INCORPORATE MORE RESIDENT FEEDBACK INTO ITS DECISION MAKING PROCESS?

As former Chair of the Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition, I always accept invitations from neighborhood groups. (Friends of Sunset Park made me a “Lifetime and Beyond” member after I spoke 3 years in a row at their annual meeting!) We should televise our Board meetings, so the community can monitor us (although as a television executive, I’m not sure our meetings are ratings winners!). I have an “open door” policy: Email me at

6. HOW SHOULD THE COLLEGE CONTINUE TO ADAPT TO PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS?

SMC’s Police Department works closely with the City. We stage drills for earthquakes and other catastrophes. We incorporate new technology, such as sending text alerts. This month, we approved a mobile app for students to communicate directly with emergency services and to document incidents. Last year, we adopted new procedures and hired personnel to address sexual violence. 7. AT WHAT POINT SHOULD THE COLLEGE CONSIDER ITSELF FULLY BUILT?

We have reduced density on the Main Campus by moving people to satellite campuses (Emeritus College; Nursing; Music). In 2017, we re-open our Center for Media & Design (including KCRW’s new home) on Stewart. If the Measure V bond passes, we will replace our oldest buildings and portables, and finish the scheduled Malibu campus. Then, we will have achieved our longstanding campus 1998 Master Plan, as updated. 8. WHAT CLASSES HAVE YOU TAKEN AT SMC?

My family and I have taken science, music, art and nutrition as well as recreational (tennis) and community/extension (first aid). 9. IN THE PAST YEAR, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU VISITED AN SMC CAMPUS AND FOR WHAT REASON?

All the time! In the past months, I’ve been to every campus including IDEAS LA Conference at the Broad Stage where I was a speaker on a digital media panel. 10. HOW MUCH TIME AND ENERGY SHOULD THE COLLEGE PUT TOWARDS VIRTUAL CLASSES TAUGHT WITHOUT AN ON-CAMPUS COMPONENT?

We need to meet student demand wherever it comes from. Because some students cannot attend in-person classes, it is crucial to offer online classes. Whether a class is online depends on the instructor. In the past, I have ensured our nursing classes do not lose the in-person component necessary for clinical/experiential learning. SMC already uses online classes to reduce traffic since almost 10% of our credits are online. 11. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SANTA MONICA COMMUNITY IN NON-ELECTION YEARS?

As an incumbent and alumnus, I am involved all the time – especially in conversations (in-person, telephone, email) with SMC community members every day. 12. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THE LOCAL BALLOT MEASURES (GS, GSH, LV, SM AND V)?

Brewed For You! Hot, Cold, Strong or Green! One-Stop-Shop for Coffee and Juice!

#CoffeeOnMontana #MontanaAveSM

GS & GSH: Strongly Support. Important for schools and affordable housing. LV: Oppose. LV tries to deal with traffic and over-development, but should be cleaned up. I’ve offered to work with the organizers on these important issues. We cannot let our disagreement over tactics divide us as we improve our community. SM: Support. Need to tighten ethics rules. V: Strongly support. Need to modernize old buildings and to replace portables.

ESSAY QUESTIONS WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR THE BOARD, WHAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED TO LEAD, AND WHAT ROLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF PLAYING ON THE DAIS IF ELECTED?

My grandparents didn’t go past high school. My Father dropped out of Eastern Michigan and my Mother dropped out of Michigan State to have me and start a family. Later, my Mother went back to school at Florida International University to get a teaching degree. So, I was the first in my family to go straight through to college. My family made sacrifices so I could attend, and my Mother’s going back to school set an example of the importance of an education. I was blessed to have support from my family. So many of our students are also the first in their families to attend college. As a Trustee at SMC, I have made a commitment that each student has the same opportunities I had, and I have fought to make our campus more affordable and more accessible to all students, including local residents. I am the key trustee with business, legal and finance experience and held have held SMC to the highest standards. This rigor has led to clean audits 9 years in a row and built up a reserve that kept SMC afloat during the state budget crisis without laying off a single full-time employee. During my service, SMC has had unmatched success and is the number one community college in the nation. As Chair, I opened up the Broad Stage, oversaw the approval of our 4-year bachelor’s degree and guided the selection of our new president Dr. Kathryn Jeffery. This performance demonstrates the case for my re-election to the Board of Trustees of SMC. As a community activist, professor of law, digital and traditional media and entertainment attorney and incumbent trustee, it would be a privilege to serve the people of Santa Monica and to continue to fight for all of our students. Now that my kids – Dash (11) and Zora (8) – are in local schools, I have a greater investment than ever in great education. Just as my grandparents and parents helped me appreciate the value of education, I now

am able to pass this on to them. I want Santa Monica College to be the resource for them that it is for so many members of our community. WHY IS THE COLLEGE RELEVANT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN CLASSES THERE?

SMC affects all our lives in Malibu and Santa Monica – The Broad Stage; KCRW (where I’m on the Board); the Public Policy Institute, Emeritus College. We host the Santa Monica Swim Center and the Fourth of July Fireworks celebration. The Santa Monica High School Vikings football team plays in Corsair Stadium (where Carl Lewis used to run!). So, even if you’ve never taken a class at SMC, if you’ve listened to “Morning Becomes Eclectic” or “Left, Right and Center” on KCRW, or if you’ve attended a show at The Broad Stage or the Edye, you’ve been enriched by SMC. We were the key initiator for the Expo line and are the biggest customer for the Big Blue Bus. In Malibu, we are bringing a new campus, with a new sheriff sub-station, and SMC was the key supporter for Malibu’s Legacy Park and crucial wastewater facilities. We work closely with the City of Santa Monica (including on early childhood education) and SMMUSD (on dual enrollment and other joint education programs). In fact, over 50% of Santa Monica High School students receive credit from SMC within 4 years of graduating. The SMC Planetarium and the Broad Stage host local K-12 students throughout the year. According to the State Chancellor’s Office, SMC has the highest rate of local participation of ANY community college in the State of California. I’m extremely proud of how we help the entire community, whether they attend as students or not. HOW DOES OFFERING 4-YEAR DEGREES ENRICH THE WIDER COMMUNITY?

Education is a “public good”. The benefits never accrue to just the individual. By having more educated, better-trained productive citizens, we all benefit. Our Bachelor’s Degree in Interaction Design was approved after enormous research on what degree would make a difference for graduates who would enter an economy that demands better training in technology, media and entertainment. We deliberately chose a degree on the technological cutting-edge for students to obtain high-paying, growth-oriented jobs. Malibu and Santa Monica are key local beneficiaries of a stronger local economy that is based on the workforce educated by SMC. And, more importantly, education makes better people and citizens and that is good for all of us.

LOT MEASURES (GS, GSH, LV, SM AND V)?

I am running for re-election to my seat on the college board. I support Measures GS, GSH and V, which are directly related to education funding at our college and school district.

ESSAY QUESTIONS WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR THE BOARD, WHAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED TO LEAD, AND WHAT ROLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF PLAYING ON THE DAIS IF ELECTED?

My years as a community college faculty member make me uniquely qualified to serve on the Board of Trustees. I am familiar with community college finance and governance. With the high cost of college tuition becoming a national issue, SMC fills a critical role in providing an opportunity for accessible and affordable higher education. I want to be reelected to continue innovations designed to help students reach their goals. For example, as a result of direct collaboration with SMMUSD, high school students can take SMC courses and get a jumpstart on their college years. Board action has created career certificate programs in sustainable and medical technologies to prepare students for jobs in our local economy. In addition to academic standards and courses of instruction, the job of a community college trustee is to approve the college budget and insure the fiscal health of the institution. If re-elected, I will continue to be a voice on the dais that is both student and community centered. WHY IS THE COLLEGE RELEVANT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN CLASSES THERE?

SMC tops the state in local participation, indicating that our community college is an integral part of our community. We know that the college is of service in ways beyond our traditional course offerings. Here are just four of the many ways in which SMC serves the larger community: (1) Emeritus College offers programming for older adults in classes ranging from sewing to Shakespeare. (2) The Broadstage on SMC’s Performing Arts Campus presents world class theater, music, and dance programming for our community. (3) The Public Policy Institute at SMC provides public programming on topics of social and political interest. (4) In cooperation with the City of Santa Monica, the swim center pool on the SMC campus is well used by swimmers of all ages year-round. HOW DOES OFFERING 4-YEAR DEGREES ENRICH THE WIDER COMMUNITY?

Last year, the legislature and Governor Brown approved a pilot program to authorize 15 out of 113 California community colleges to offer a bachelor’s degree in fields of high workforce demand. SMC’s degree proposal in Interaction Design, training students in the design of interactive digital products, directly responds to the needs of Los Angeles’s tech industry. The bachelor’s degree was developed in cooperation with local tech companies that have indicated a need for trained students. The students will graduate with an “interaction design” skills set, focused on how to balance design and functionality into something that works for the end user in the digital world. This pilot program will result in the placement of our students into our local economy.

further help SMMUSD prepare students for college. I will also be a strong supporter of the Emeritus College, which serves our local seniors. 3. WHY IS IT FAIR TO ASK RESIDENTS TO PAY FOR A COLLEGE THAT ACCEPTS NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS?

Non-resident students are an important part of SMC’s student community. However, my campaign is focused on LOCAL students. In addition to enhanced interaction with SMMUSD, I would love to see SMC go beyond the Promise program and priority enrollment for local students, and eventually offer free first year tuition to local students similar to what is proposed in Los Angeles. 4. HOW SHOULD THE COLLEGE UTILIZE ALTERNATE TRANSIT OPTIONS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC?

The college should continue to enhance its partnership with the Big Blue Bus, and further reducing student cost for the expo line would help minimize student car trips. Additionally, in the long term, I think oncampus student housing could also reduce student commuter traffic. Finally, the new Malibu campus should also reduce commuter traffic to Santa Monica.

6. HOW SHOULD THE COLLEGE CONTINUE TO ADAPT TO PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS?

As a board member, I will fully support the SMC police department and make sure it has the resources to maximize public safety in this unfortunate era of unprecedented gun violence. Additionally, I will always have open communication with our college community regarding these issues. 7. AT WHAT POINT SHOULD THE COLLEGE CONSIDER ITSELF FULLY BUILT?

I support Measure V, and the money from this bond should be the final public investment in modernizing and completing the college’s infrastructure for several years. 8. WHAT CLASSES HAVE YOU TAKEN AT SMC?

I have served on the faculty at SMC teaching health policy and have been a guest lecturer in multiple SMC classes/forums including at the Emeritus College. While I have never been

PICOPASSPORT.COM

For several years, I’ve visited an SMC campus several times/month- whether as adjunct faculty, vice-chair of the SMC Bond Oversight Committee, member of the General Advisory Board, or member of the Public Policy Institute Academic Resources Council. Additionally, I often attend events and board meetings on campus. 10. HOW MUCH TIME AND ENERGY SHOULD THE COLLEGE PUT TOWARDS VIRTUAL CLASSES TAUGHT WITHOUT AN ON-CAMPUS COMPONENT?

While I think in-person interaction at oncampus classes are supremely important to the student experience, virtual classes certainly have an important role at SMC. These online classes make education more accessible for so many students who have jobs and other responsibilities. Additionally, online classes can have the added benefit of reducing commuters and thus traffic around the college. 11. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SANTA MONICA COMMUNITY IN NON-ELECTION YEARS?

In addition to my consistent SMC involvement list above, I’m chair of the SMMUSD Health and Safety District Advisory Committee and a member of the Santa Monica Democratic Club executive committee. I’m also on the executive committee of the LA County Medical Association.

I have not taken a position on LV, because I hope to keep the focus of our campaign on student-centered issues at SMC, which need more discussion in our community.

COMMUNITY

CLIMATE ACTION SUMMIT

There is some overlap between the new gun laws passed by legislators and the initiative: — The ballot measure would give prosecutors more discretion in punishing gun owners who don't surrender large-capacity ammunition magazines. The already approved law will make continued possession of magazines holding more than 10 bullets an infraction similar to a traffic ticket. The initiative would let prosecutors charge the offense as either an infraction or a misdemeanor. — The new law is intended to supersede the initiative on the way background checks would be conducted for those buying ammunition. But the initiative would eliminate some exceptions while also requiring background checks for ammunition dealers and requiring dealers to report lost or stolen bullets. Newsom says the courts will have to decide which takes precedence if the ballot measure passes. Voters will consider the proposition nearly a year after the San Bernardino mass shooting by a radicalized husband and wife who killed 14 people before dying in a

shootout with police. "People in California have had enough of the gun murder rate. San Bernardino punctuated this," Newsom said. Even if the proposed restrictions can't stop mass shootings, they could help stem daily gun violence, he said, sending "a message that is going to ripple across the United States." Supporters have raised more than $5 million to advance the ballot measure, nearly 10 times as much as opponents, with the biggest donations coming from the California Democratic Party and Newsom's campaign account. The measure's success in California will demonstrate that the National Rifle Association, though feared in Congress, is a "paper tiger" that can be defeated in the states, Newsom said. "When Newsom wants to set up the NRA as the bogyman, what he's really saying is all these law enforcement groups are stupid," responded Chuck Michel, a spokesman for the opposition Coalition for Civil Liberties that includes the NRA. Indeed, the California State Sheriffs' Association and California Police Chiefs Association are among opponents. "My chief concern is it will not achieve the stated goal of reducing violence and saving lives. Instead what it will do is negatively impact thousands and thousands of lawabiding citizens," said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea. Ventura Police Chief Ken Corney, president of the chiefs' association, said in an opposition letter that the chiefs supported much of this year's gun control legislation, but fear the new laws would be undermined by the competing ballot measure that "fails to meet the appropriate balance between public safety and individual gun rights."

ROY FROM PAGE 5

education is personal for my wife Kathy and me. I’m a first generation American and the son of a college professor. A great education allowed my immigrant parents to make a better life for themselves in this country, and allowed me to achieve my dreams as a professor and cardiologist helping the underserved at Harbor UCLA, a county hospital. I’ve been a progressive education advocate in Santa Monica as chair of our school district's Health and Safety committee, vice chair of the college's bond committee, and as adjunct faculty at the college; where I learned about the everyday challenges in the lives of SMC students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community. I hope to bring a new voice with a positive vision to the SMC board, as I have as a board member of the California Medical Association and LA County Medical Associations. As SMC trustee, I’ll advocate for: - Expanding medical curriculum because healthcare offers the jobs of the future - Increased ties between the college and school district, so that our local students show up at SMC with the basic skills for success - Hire more fulltime faculty, because this is a student equity issue Because of this platform, I’m proud to be endorsed by the LA County Democratic Party, Santa Monica Democratic Club, Congressman Ted Lieu, Senator Ben Allen, and many others to be your next SMC trustee. WHY IS THE COLLEGE RELEVANT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN CLASSES THERE?

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2016

those who take classes there, and SMC is fortunate to have the highest level of local participation in the state. As a board member, I will focus on enhancing the local participation of students at Samohi in dual enrollment classes at SMC. Additionally, I will emphasize the vital importance of the Emeritus College for our community’s seniors who rely on the classes there. SMC is relevant to the community at large, because our excellent public school system is a reason so many residents choose to live in Santa Monica (including Kathy and me), and that includes SMC. SMC is one of the top community colleges in the county, and it offers our kids a great, local option for college after they graduate from Samohi, particularly for those students who are unsure of what career path they are best suited for or who have limited financial resources. Even if residents don’t personally participate in SMC classes, the majority of people in Santa Monica will have family members who will benefit from this great public institution in our own backyard. HOW DOES OFFERING 4-YEAR DEGREES ENRICH THE WIDER COMMUNITY?

The initial 4 year program of interactive design is a great opportunity for the college, and I hope to see our college offer a 4 year nursing program in the long term. 4 year programs will benefit Santa Monicans because they allow local students a way to complete their education in certain fields without having to leave if they so choose. Additionally, these 4 year programs enhance the status of the college, signifying that it remains a top community college. This will help attract the best professors to the college in diverse fields, which ultimately will benefit the local students that attend.

The college is obviously most relevant to

Yes on Measure V for a better, and safer Santa Monica College Santa Monica College provides a world-class education. Unfortunately, not all of our facilities meet those high standards. Two major classroom buildings, the Liberal Arts and the Letters & Science, are 65 years old and do not meet current seismic or fire standards. Many math classes are held in “temporary” trailers that were rushed into service after the 1994 Northridge quake—and are well past their useful lives. These facilities leak, suffer from mold and asbestos, have no elevators for disabled access, lack modern safety equipment, and have no wiring for computers. Measure V on the November ballot would allow SMC to replace the temporary trailers with modern classrooms. It would allow SMC to renovate, upgrade or replace the two 65-year-old buildings. In addition, Measure V will allow SMC to increase campus security, improve the SMC Police Department, and enhance emergency preparedness. Measure V gives our students the safe and secure campus they deserve. Vote YES on Measure V.

■ The too-sedentary lives of modern American kids is having another damaging effect beyond rising rates of obesity: Their bones are becoming more fragile. ■ According to a clinical report published in Pediatrics, the percentage of children experiencing broken bones has increased from 35 percent to 65 percent over the past 40 years. Researchers say the increased risk is due to modern lifestyles, particularly too much sitting around indoors and too little exercise outside. Also, children are not getting enough calcium in their diets. ■ Treatments for weak bones in adults have not been FDA-approved for use in children, but the scientists do suggest a simple, preventative measure: Children can build bone mass by jumping for 10 minutes per day, three times a week.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 27)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

They think you're working strange magic, but really you're just starting to get an awesome result from the years of practice you've put in. Somehow you'll produce without effort and manage without meddling. Because of this, you'll be promoted. There's love all year, but in November and May it colors your whole world. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 21, 35 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

You may sincerely know you are right, but that is not the point. Being right doesn't automatically protect you. You still need to prepare yourself for possible opposition and other incidents that could happen.

There's humor in the situation. In order to see it, though, one would have to have the funny kind of mind that needs the laughter, looks for it, finds it and is released by it. That's you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Maybe it's too early for a rest from commerce and travel and business of all kinds, but it's not too early to plan one and prepare for it. The dormant periods are important to your wellbeing. How are you going to make it happen?

Groups and crowds are not the same thing. The few behave differently than the many, and different rules apply for managing them. And yet, what you get right on the small scale today will definitely work when you scale it up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Just because you passed this way before does not mean that you are regressing. Think of this as running laps. Each repetition makes you stronger, helps you grow faster and counts toward your general progress.

The small rubs of life can be more detrimental to your happiness, health and well-being than big events. Coping is a lifestyle issue. Build a reliable set of go-to strategies for dealing with daily stresses.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The visiting will be better when you use the time between visits to better yourself. That's the time you practice, hone your skills and fine-tune your image. Challenge yourself to show up even stronger next time.

If you don't lunge for the brass ring, no one will know you want it. But if you lunge for it too hard, you'll throw yourself off balance and fall. Core strength is needed here for a graceful, controlled grab.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Right now the fruit of your labor is a lot like a watched pot. It will seem not to ripen while your eyeballs are on it. Back off. Let time and the sun do their job while you plant elsewhere.

An emotional weather front may seem like an uncontrollable natural force -- nope! It's the air currents that carry the weather. You're an air sign. Blow a little and the storm moves away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Men have gone mad from anticipating what stays out of reach for too long. Perhaps it takes a bit of madness to keep going past a certain point. Is it really worth it? Much depends on how much you value the prize.

There's no such thing as a pattern of one. The first time something happens it is difficult, if not impossible, for you to see that it is part of a cycle. The second time brings awareness, new questions, and the comfort of repetition.

Mercury Gives Ego Knocks You've created an illusion for yourself, with yourself and about yourself, and this illusion is called an "ego." When life lets a different quality of light in, as it will with the conjunction of the sun and Mercury, the illusion is somewhat ruined, at least momentarily. This might hurt, but ultimately it's what leads to growth and spiritual freedom.
