* The police force is even whiter than we thought: "Our police department is no more diverse today than it was a decade ago, and that is absolutely unacceptable." Is this supposed to be a surprise?!!!! * Next summer will be designated a "multi-cultural festival": "That is all about inviting people into our community to see Somali Independence Day, to see Hispanic art on Lake Street, to begin to see the grassroots art taking place everywhere around this city." Maybe I should read the article before asking this question, but who exactly are the people doing the inviting into "our community?" People, realize that LIFE itself is a multi-cultural festival. I hope that none of you have been waiting for this official designation to be issued to understand that fact. Then again, maybe the MPD needed to hear that. Could be their "aha" moment and kumbayah(?) festival all rolled into one. * WELCOME TO THE CRYSTAL COURT; KEEP MOVING Visitors to the downtown Crystal Court are now prohibited from sitting in one place for more than an hour, reports Ellen Nigon in Skyway News (www.skywaynews.net). And napping will simply not be tolerated. What! This seems like a good time for all the homeless citizens and their supporters to stage a 60's type non-violent sit-in. Ahhhh... the things one misses about Minneapolis. Pamela Taylor (Tampa) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
