I believe Don was piling-on with the blame Pawlenty crap. I am truly not "of" any party. Over and over again I have been hearing the DFL political reps (Don Samuels excluded- gratefully) taking time out from serious neighborhood issues and concerns, at neighborhood meetings in the hood, and other public venues. The sermons are less then inspiring for me, as I can't help but visualize images of the old gang of City Leaders, and there insider dealing; and spending sprees while dispossessing the poor, and working classes, in the siege neighborhoods. I love the smell of bulldozers, in the morning, knocking down neighborhood housing. Those were the good old days! Oh yea Keith Ellison, Linda Higgins, and Joe Mullery, tell me again how great it was, and how I must now blame the IR, and Tim Pawlenty. Clearly you have your marching orders to deal the dirt; early and often. While citizens have assembled at a Jordan Livability meeting to deal with real issues. Gimme that OOOOLD time DFL Religion. Like a bad drum beat: It make me coconut ache, mon. Keith Reitman NearNorth TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
