I don't find this laughable, I find it offensive. The people and organizations listed here are trying to make a difference in our city. They are doing more than just complaining and to compare them to people who commit murder and sell drugs is the epitome of bad taste. While the writer may not agree with these people, it does not justify him slandering them. Perhaps he would feel differently if the PEACE Foundation or General Mills threw some money his way. Whatever his motives for writing this, it definitely does not meet the guide lines of being civil that this Forum supposedly adheres to. Shame on the writer.
