Not if they read the paper

slashing across someone's neck with such force that it looked like he was going to be-head her....Is that not attempted murder? His comment that "she disrespected me" makes it sound like he put some thought in to how he wanted to handle the situation. Sounds like his women are disposable. That is a reaction, that you can't change your mind about and apologize for getting angry, that is a dangerous man.

cooperating and sympathy for no job, and save my wife, I wanna be a hero....whatever. How many people has he hurt along the way. Get this crap off the street. If she has no job and excepted drug money for support..she should be tested too. Whatever happened to accomplice. Where did she think his money was coming from? Let's see, he admitted his guilt, fine him, jail him and then long-term supervised probation, so he can never contribute to one of the most leading causes of crime and death.

That's really inspiring Laura. Another inspiration.....I was talking to someone a couple weeks ago on the corner of Broadway and College. And this smiling guy rode by and smiled at me on his bicycle, and I waved.....then I had to take a double look....that's a guy I used to know, he used to walk, then he slowly started drinking a lot more through the years and everyone would help him into a taxis. I couldn't quite figure out if it was the alcohol or if it was some other problem going on with his legs. Eventually I saw him later, he had gained a lot of weight and was wheeling around town in an electric wheelchair. I turned back to watch him, and he gazed back with a big smile, and I yelled GOOD FOR YOU. Wow, I was very proud of him! Not only had he lost a lot of weight, but he was peddling a bicycle. He looked so happy! I do not want to give his name, unless he would want to, but I wondered if he got involved with the Blue Zone Group. What a good thing.

Why tax it at all. Why don't people take care of themselves and quit eating and smoking so much. If they do choose to over eat or use something that they were told causes disease...it's their choice...hopefully we are not taxed so much that you have no money to pay for your OWN health care. When did it start...that people are not to be allowed to suffer consequences from their own choices? yes, it can be sad to watch, but just how far are we to go..to protect people from themselves? Tax is not suppose to be used to make things unaffordable so that people stop using them. Who's getting rich on that illusion?

So true...Watched video since it was passed on to everyone that reads the tribune....looks to me like the lady wants to be on "you tube" since she is dancing in the middle of the street. Probably she will be happily on Oprah in a couple of weeks or maybe she's going for a reality show. If someone is going to dance like that in the middle of the streets, she wants no privacy.

Another subject?....Unfortunately there seems to be limits to how many people get help for mental health problems, There's plenty of Doctors out there, the problem is paying for them....That's the BIG problem going on right now. I get hundreds of calls a year to donate to so many different organizations. Twenty five years of business and I'm still getting the same calls. What we do need is people to get involved in whats going on in our government. Less taxes and government control? The more we keep our earnings the more we will be able to afford insurance and mortgages and take care of our own families.
Another subject?.....Parents need to take control and raise there children, not the schools and government. It's a fast pace world right now...but I believe the parent should have control on what your child eats, how much school to attend, and who's teaching them, and when there going to stay home, and if they need medication (with the advice of your family doctor). If you want your child to go to another school (and there's an opening) register there, but if its out of your school bus range, then you will have to get them there yourself safely. Choice (but made by the parents). We need to quit making organizations for this and that...we need to get control of our country....which start right up there on top..make sure who your paying to enforce regulation is going for what you want. Enough of all the programs....people usually can resolve their own problems with their doctor, church, family, and law enforcement. People are beginning to just sit back and let someone else do it, because there's a program that will do it. What a cycle................................

....giving the homeless money is not going to help them...I agree that it is a mental health issue. Whether they got sick, or lost their job, or got kicked out, it's was caused by or will become a mental health problem.
I'm sorry, but I cannot tolerate the stories about coming from a normal family....to trying to fit in...to taking drugs and alcohol to ease the pain....to becoming homeless. Everyone does some sort of self pity when the going gets tough or you don't like something....but it is controlled by yourself...and your the one who has to change that.
Giving a beggar $10?....most of the time the homeless and down and out seem to stay stocked in alcohol/drugs/cigarettes. There have been many times in my lifetime, where I had to choose. Get a small tent ($10) and some soup (50 cents) with that money and head to job force every morning, look for a way to earn support...instead of planning on a day on the corner. I handed money to people before, and I saw what happened with that. Most of time I'm giving a handout, I'm behind on my own bills. I have my own budget to try and keep. I'll give out an address where you can pawn the “guitar”. It's sentimental, yes...but how hungry are you.
I'm not sure how much the teens learned (sound like fun for one night with a bunch of friends and I'm sure they had security from....."the homeless and down and out")...they were fed food from the food shelf, they got handed duct tape, boxes and brought firewood and matches.
I believe we don't want to teach the young that they no longer need to try, that handouts come by the multitudes if you hang out on a corner or at a park and beg. There is a good movie "Pursuit of happiness" with Will Smith that teens should watch. We have a school theater. Each teen should go with their parents for a fee of $10. People could even sponsor "homeless" to go to the show with them. Show support, give out guidance, but don't provide money and turn your back. Where that money should go? I'm not sure yet....a fund to get control of our own country? Parents need to help our children stay focused, keep good health, and budget income. Teach teens and "homeless" how far a little money can go when used properly. If all it took to get on with starting a business was taking a mandatory Christian living class....then that can about sum it up. (....We are not ignoring the homeless...it's are we doing the right things to help them and prevent more?)

I heard a rumor a while back that the art center tricked her on a contract agreement and only pays $1 a month for rent. I hope that isn't true. If it is, I wouldn't blame her. She's been taken advantage of HUGELY. How is she suppose to maintain the building with renters like that. And then to top it off they want to let other organizations use their space too? BUT...like I said It was a rumor I heard back when she bought the building. With the costs to maintain a building, higher utilities, higher property taxes, and the costs that these buildings need to be restored...no business should expect to be able to donate utilities and space use to other businesses unless their paying for those lights, gas and water and property taxes. That's upsetting. I hope it's not true.
On Art Center building feud continues
