One thought that occurs to me is that if law enforcement refuses to share vital information till after innocent blood is spilled, perhaps citizens will have to start sharing the info themselves over the Internet, such as people familiar the the distinctive marks of a local gang might answer questions for people in other cities where that gang is trying to grab turf. And I could see people here posting anonymously what they know of local war situations (but not on e-democracy which does not allow anonymity). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mel's Reply I have watched drugs being sold in front of 2728 Stevens Av. So. and in and from parked cars on Stevens Av. all Summer and Fall...The poor owner keeps boarding up the first floor and the dealers and brokers just break back in...The owner is a foreignor who keeps calling the police for help and doesn't understand why the Police don't do something. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________ Oh honesty, you can EXPECT whatever you please, but don't go crying when it doesn't happen. Remember, it is society who hires and rehires people for their political jobs. And society is NOT going to hire those whose standards exceed their own. Not on any consistent basis. It was a wonder they ever hired Paul Wellstone. But when it came time to replace him and he wasn't there to fool society into renewing his contract, look who got the job as a replacement. So, the least common denominator is the rule to which there are rare exceptions. "Leadership" is not a reliable formula. Jesus was a leader. Where did that get him? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mel's Reply A seat at the right hand of God and eternal life in in heaven, vs the alternative, for us believers.
