[UC] Loss of rights from Clark Park to Key West, NYT

[Glenn moyer]

Remember the mass round-up in Clark Park last fall because of powerful and 
important people?

In Clark Park, the unemployed and military veterans are targeted too, as 
described in this Key West report.  It starts with the powerless, and the 
frightened people stay silent.  As survivors of past transformations have 
explained:  It's easy to stay silent and sacrifice the powerless, because no 
one really believes a time will come when the middle class will also be the 
targets.

I know its not civil to understand the patterns of class warfare and a shift to 
plutocracy, but i do see patterns all the way from Key West to Clark Park and 
beyond. 


http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/us/31keywest.html?hpw

“It’s for vagrants,” said the police chief, Donald J. Lee Jr. “People who are 
out on the streets, disrupting the quality of life or experience for visitors, 
residents and businesses.”

The police now regularly question the homeless but ignore visitors like the 
man at a table near Ms. Skinner’s Jeep last week. He was passed out before 
sunset, snoring, with a 16-ounce beer in front of him and two chickens pecking 
near his feet. Only his pressed shorts and a half-eaten Godiva chocolate bar 
suggested that he had a home...

...The homeless see it as a double standard. 

They say the police are “profiling” them with arrests for small infractions, 
like drinking outside in violation of open-container laws. 

“The tourists come here and drink all day long,” said Manuel Casas

 Citizens,
 
 Every year big pharma pays millions in criminal and civil fines imposed for 
 marketing drugs outside of the primary approved treatments. Corporate drug 
 marketing is drug pushing, and it should be illegal. Pharma continues the 
 practice unabated because the profits make the penalties a minor cost of 
 doing business. Now, the FDA is going to help increase corporate profits 
 with the green light. 
 
 It takes decades for all of the side effects and drug interactions to be 
 uncovered. (Acetamenophine and alcohol is a classic example.) This is just 
 one more example of how a for profit health system hurts public health.
 
 Those of you who can still afford to see a doctor; don't get sucked into 
 this pill popping! 
 
 With the government’s blessing, a drug giant is about to expand the market 
 for its blockbuster cholesterol medication Crestor to a new category of 
 customers: as a preventive measure for millions of people who do not have 
 cholesterol problems.

[UC-Announce] Sat 4/3: CHULRUA, Irish traditional music, at Crossroads

[Daniel Flaumenhaft]

Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 7:30 pm

CHULRUA
Irish traditional music
Adept at finding unusual tunes and variants, and in celebrating the individual 
voice in the flow of traditional practice… a reminder of the things that matter 
in Irish traditional music. – Irish Music Magazine

Crossroads Music 
48th and Baltimore Ave. (in Calvary United Methodist Church)

http://www.crossroadsconcerts.org or 215-729-1028 

Tickets are $20, $10 discount, $30 for supporters, $5 for 12 and under.

Chulrua (pronounced cool-ROO-ah) is Irish for red back, the name and 
distinguishing feature of the ancient Irish hero Fionn MacCumhaill's favorite 
wolfhound. It is also the name of an internationally acclaimed trio of some of 
the most respected and unique exponents of Irish traditional music.

County Offaly native Paddy O’Brien has collected more than 3,000 tunes, 
including many rare and unusual ones over the last 40 years and is regarded  as 
one of the tradition's most important repositories. A master of the two-row 
button accordion, he has been named Oireachtas champion four times, and was 
first named All-Ireland senior accordion champion in 1975. 

A native of Tipperary, guitarist Pat Egan grew up singing and playing, and has 
been a professional musician since 1985. Now based in Baltimore, Maryland, Pat 
has made extensive tours of the United States, and has also performed in 
Sweden, Norway, Holland, Germany, and Scotland. He has appeared on numerous 
television and radio programs, in the US, Ireland, and abroad.

Dale Russ's fiddle playing is known for its balance of power and elegance. 
Originally a bluegrass guitarist, Dale discovered Irish music shortly after 
buying his first fiddle in 1973 and has never looked back. He has since played 
in bands with such luminaries as Kevin Burke, Mike Saunders, Mark Graham, Colin 
Manahan and Nick Voreas. One of his live concert recordings won an award from 
the Smithsonian for Traditional Recording of the Year.

Re: [UC] on the UCLipServ

[Glenn moyer]

is something like this possible?

Lew, 

It's important to look at power imbalances and abuses, when you wish to 
consider the causes of incivility on the UCLipServ.  Remember, most dirty 
little people can not show our civility at closed BID steering committees, or 
closed Master Plan Steering Committees, or closed Clark Park Partnerships, or 
closed Spruce Hill zoning committees!  

Crazy ranters and criminals only have our vital UCLipServ to expose secret 
plots against our neighbors and community.  
  
So no is the answer. This common decency concept is not possible in the midst 
of ongoing bullying, exclusion, betrayal and injustice in our community.
  

Can you please tell me the time, date, and location of the next closed secret 
Clark Park Partnership meeting?  I've been repeating this civil request for ten 
years and have only received ad hominem attacks as a response!!!

Since I answered your question, can you have the common decency to answer mine? 
I will post the information on the UCLipServ, since the FOCP Board is too damn 
stupid to make public announcements or listen to its members.

Thanks,
Glenn

"Glen makes a completely rational post and then Tom wants out? Clearly

who own stock in Astra Zeneca and other big pharma companies, think my
post from the NYT was the work of the anti-Christ. Maybe, that is why
Tom started praying to God? (I think most people believe that
marketers from big pharma were the intended guests for an expensive
boutique hotel on 40th St- Nothing like some martinis and dancing after
a big drug deal!)While Glenn Beck preaches that Obama is
the anti-Christ, a new FOCP poll has me in the lead! Rahm Emanual
thinks I'm a fucking retard, but I think I'd prefer to be proven to be the leftist
anti-Christ for the local anointed and their corporate masters. (Don't tell 'em that Jesus was a communist Jew, or the poll will find that you're the anti-Christ too.)From the fiery pit,Glenn-Original Message-

 Excuse me, Craig, but were you serious or were you mocking when you wished the 
blessings of Passover and Easter on the listserve members?  The limitations 
of email messages makes it difficult to tell your tone.  I ask this because 
invoking the bible in order to skewer someone you disagree with doesn't seem to 
be in the spirit of either Passover or Easter.

As for Mr. Lussenhop, he's perfectly entitled to ignore the listserve, but he 
does so at his peril, I believe.

While you continue to be a listserv bully, you fall somewhat short of being an 
intellectual bully; how disappointing.
 
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for 
each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are 
grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of 
the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces 
evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. - Luke 
6:43-45 (NRSV)
 
May the blessings of Passover and Easter be abundantly available to Purple's 
members.

Absolutely!

Sharky Uyehara used to express the same concern; I miss his posts.

In terms of creating dynamic tension Jesus tells us to sell our cloak to  
buy a sword but admonishes us when we imprudently employ it. Passover was a  
deadly plague for non-believers and beasts, and freedom for the Israelite  
slaves. There would be no Easter without a terrible brutal sacrifice. Such  
conflict is why exegesis is so much fun. The Bible remains popular because 
there  is an ongoing human identification with its moral values even when they 
 conflict with our actions or personal expectations.

As for  Mr. Lussenhop, he's perfectly entitled to ignore the listserv, but 
he does so  at his peril, I believe.
Do you find it empowering to be brutally honest or pleasing to impart  
freedom with the truth?
 
Thanks for reading and asking; I am honored.
 
Ignore the discordant's siren song; and may you know peace  as you follow

I covered that meeting about the correctional facility that is proposed 
for 52nd  Lindbergh, and reported it that same evening on UCNeighbors. 
Can't imagine why anyone who is curious about West Philadelphia public 
affairs would have missed it.


By and large, people with higher-quality neighborhood input will, over 
time, put more of their input into the higher-quality neighborhood output.


Purple once was at the cutting edge of online representation of 
geographical urban communities. But it isn't anymore. Let's move on. 
It's easy!


It's not just Glenn's constant, unmoderated gargling that annoys many 
people. It's also that its organizational model looks remarkably like 
that of the City Government.of Mogadishu. People who want to get an 
answer about service issues have long found it hard to communicate with 
the list-owner. It's not at all clear who to go to for any particular 
kind of action. UC-list was founded by Spruce Hill Community 
Association, but not overseen by SHCA in any way today. It lives in the 
computer rooms of Villanova University, for some arcane historical reason.


UCNeighbors, by contrast, has a real, physical list-owner. That's Kyle 
Cassidy. You can email him, call him, FB him, walk to his house ... 
whatever you want. He lives in the neighborhood. He cares about the 
neighborhood. He does it all as a volunteer. And when I had a service 
issue, I got the problem solved in 10 days; whereas the last time I had 
a purple service issue, it took 20 days to get it fixed.

Unfortunately, many of the list members outspokenness about Philly 
real estate development is rather selective. Not a single post about 
the VCRC proposed prison and day reporting center for 5213 Grays, 
until they find themselves riding SEPTA with the early release felons, 
who turn out not to be mentally stable and not non-violent: perhaps 
150 day reporters and 250 transitional housing clients, which one 
ex-offender has described to me as including the Good, the Bad, and 
the Ugly.
Remember, UC celebrity comes with the expectation of a modicum of 
accommodation to the local listserv community.

Ciao,

Wow! THAT¹S a slap in the face.

Thank you kindly for showing us who the better people are who have
higher-quality neighborhood input.  Since I have been a member of this
listserv since its inception, apparently I can rest assured that I would not
be considered as such; especially since I am not a member of the UCNeighbors
listserv.

Mogadishu, indeed!  Perhaps it was not your intent to appear hurtful,
elitist and disrespectful amongst other things, especially in light of the
subject of civility raised earlier, but I do perceive it this way because
there is not much room for benefit of the doubt anymore.

Snide remarks about the persons who belong to this listserv, since the
formation of UCNeighbors has gone a bit too far in my opinion.  You have
UCNeighbors...fine!  Isn¹t that enough without denigrating this listserv or
are we all just supposed to not post, drop dead or leave the neighborhood?
What IS it they want from us?

Come front street with it once and for all.
