Here you have not discussed the topic, you have only discussed me...
If I just came on and expressed fear of street gangs and denounced and degraded street gang members you'd be praising me ond chiming in..
The second the true origin of YOUR income and true purpose of your work is questioned...

My income is derived as an engineer in a power plant, the same installation that supplies the electricity to your trailer, allows you to sit around all day watching Dr Phil, and typing comments about how I am "unenlightened". My job (which I spent many years studying in college to get) pays the taxes that you live on ever since you decided to give up on life. So be it. Continue living your crappy existence. There is nothing I can do about it, much in the same way that you will not change the world one iota by your constant blathering.

Dr. Phil is on for only one hour..and I don't watch it every day..My computer is on for only one hour in the morning, unless you are really making me mad, then I may turn the power on again one time in the afternoon for one hour for a rebuttal. Tv is on in the morning only for PBS Kids for 1/2 to one hour, then we hit the streets, he goes to School, I go to monitor traffic flow, work out on my bike and review local 'Gang' activity..
In my house lights are off by 9 PM and off most of the day..I'd like to cut back on refrigeration but I can't with a child..
I haven't given up on life...my writing and my painting entertains many people, including you, apparently...

My writing and my painting has been entertaining and inspiring many people..
You've been following me around since December '07..
I suggest you go back to the Spitzer seeks taxes page to consider the true purpose behind the need for your expertise...

<quoted text> I hear ya on that..I was walking in the crosswalk in front of Advance once, and I was about 70% across when a truck swirved around me speeding...(thats the common part) but there were 3 police cruisers sitting right there who saw it and did nothing!I guess they don't think the city needs the 200 bucks.

I want to share this because this a double standard that p*sses me off.
My husband, daughter and I were crossing in a crosswalk on North st. and all the cars on one side of street were stopped for us so we started walking across... As we got almost across a car came flying down the road and almost hit us. My husband pulled my daughter and I backwards so we didn't get hit. The Kicker of this whole situation was.. The car was an Unmarked Police car.. So my husband started flipping out,(Ofcourse who wouldn't) The cop stopped and said you have a Problem. Hmm.. Yea.. My husband said You almost hit my wife, daughter and I... they continued to have a few words about Pedestrians and crosswalks... The Officer then said " get it moving or I'll arrest you" What The F*CK? Are you serious? You almost hit Us and your going to threaten Us. Hello, This is pretty Screwed up!! This is the sh*t that really tries my Patience!! What makes you think you don't have follow the Law. BullSh*t What A Double Standard!!

That cop is lucky he didn't get a punch in the nose! If he talked like that to me I'd frog march him down to the police station and drop him at his Captains feet...and he would lose his job.

Ya OK.. If only... Are you trying to make a statement here...lol

I am tired of 'legal' gangs creating a community of drivers who are incapable of obeying posted speeds.
When it comes to crossing the road,
pedestrians are between a rock and a hard place:
To stand on dangerous street corners,
waiting for lights to change colors, where they may be harassed or mugged(by actual robbing or by consenting to unconscious spending) by 'legal' or criminal gang members
or to attempt to keep moving, crossing intersections which may or may not employ pedestrian crosswalk signals and whether or not they look for safe crossing(because a car may appear to be at a safe distance but the pedestrian can not take into account the illegal speed at which the driver is accelerating)where they are sure to be harassed, assaulted (by blaring horn) or hit by speeding 'legal' or criminal gang members...
I do not believe that 'criminal' gang members should be villified any more than 'legal' gang members:
'Legal' gangs are responsible for as many deaths as criminal gangs;
Legal gangs have the money and power to write laws which make whatever vices they want legal, though those vices cause as much community turmoil, they tag the City, claiming their territory with alcohol and tobacco ads...
'Legal' gangs 'sex-in' female members by using tv, radio, billboard and other static ad space to create an unconscious over-sexed community of girls and women who 'consent' to statutory and rape by wannabes, peripheral, regular and hard core 'legal' gang members .
The marriage rite can also be looked at as a 'sexing-in' to 'legal' gangs..
