MessageSharrieff, You can play the Great White Father all you like, but revealing what other people say to you in private is really lacking in all manner of ethics. How strange that someone so steeped in ethical consideration should be so lacking in it himself. You did this recently within the last year with someone else on the list without permission. And what is worse is that you reveal by taking whatever was written out of context. How sad. Sande Knight ----- Original Message ----- From: S.

I have received a varied set of private comments in response to the public safety post. Based on feedback, it seems many people in our community are concerned about what they believe is a rise in crime incidents and clearly confused about what they can do to reduce crime incidents. I did receive a few negative comments which are typical and to be expected on this listserv. Here is my favorite one so far: >>"you are begging the question. no one with any sense approaches something thinking they are going to make a difference. At least, not that phrase. It is used too often to hornswoggle and con people" >> Don't we all want to make a difference in our community in some way..even if it is a small contribution? I am learning that people can't react when there is no plan and they are unsure about what to do. Why would someone think they couldn't make a difference in preventing crime? Have we been reduced to feeling powerless? S
