Guest Columnist | Colt causing crime? Congressman Bob Brady's calls - and SEPTA's decision - to remove Colt 45 malt liquor ads from buses is absurd and demeaning _http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticle&ustory_ id=1e08d989-c6f9-4e88-9a2c-370043e87ee6_ (http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticle&ustory_id=1e08d989-c6f9-4e88-9a2c-370043e87e e6) Craigsolve posted 8/02/07 @ 8:06 AM EST Dear Josh:
Let me first declare my personal biases, though they do not drive my negative comments regarding you and your commentary. I know Bob Brady. I like Bob Brady. I respect Bob Brady. And, I consider myself a friend of Bob Brady. My above biases in no way drive my decision to declare you an ivory towered, ivy walled parochial immature short on life's experiences moron, who needs to spend more time off campus due SW exploring the ravages of life in the ETOH torn ghetto. Of course if your commentary is a put-up job to help the DP post copy, I admire you for so unselfishly destroying your good name to give the paper a nice look. Back to the ETOH awash ghetto that your institution along with its proxy UCD has so unscrupulously pushed into the western lying neighborhoods of color. At 6901 Woodland Avenue you will find the Outley House; a homeless shelter and substance abuse program, which draws daily into a struggling residential community and PHA apartment campus the scourge of 200 addicted men that otherwise would find much opportunity pan-handling and sleeping on university lawns and benches. Based on the client trash left around the adjacent neighborhood, though they'll drink anything ETOH based, their discarded on the street containers show a preference for malt liquors like Colt 45, especial to wash down they're crack and refer. So what you see as Brady's intellectual dishonesty and infringement of your minimalist advertising civil rights, a lot of struggling to be middle class people see it as Brady's effort to incrementally address the attack of malt liquor on the quality of their life in neighborhoods not blessed like yours. While I can't personally address the SEPTA budget shortfall, I welcome you to entertain yourself on my tab at the Inn at Penn or POD. They both sell Colt 45 to you classy kids, right? ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
