Ditto for the low-paid newsroom employees at the Fake Newsocrat, under the thumb of publisher Dorsey and der Fuhrer Gabordi. Dorsey was a big “bundler” for that Ponzi scheme. I remember when the UW Chair came into the newsroom with a bullhorn to guilt trip everyone into a payroll deduction.
On deadline!
What an a-hole.

YOU’RE right.
I hate Numbskulls.
Especially this ones that can’t even type five words without making a second-grade grammar mistake.

N hater? Clearly he has a great affinity for Nilla-Wafers and I am a loss as how one could think otherwise.

Good points, it’s not a “partisan” issue. The one thing I’ve observed in my 12 years in Tallahassee is that the South Side suffered in poverty with little-nothing done to alter their situation, crime soared due to lack of alternative and hope. Meanwhile, under Gillum’s watch (and the former set of “city commissioners”), elected officials never lifted a finger to attract companies and jobs to the South Side. A manufacturing company (or two or three) might have provided some entry-level jobs that paid a decent wage, and higher pay for those who advanced to a supervisory level. No one, especially Gillum, did anything in that direction – giving those in poverty and little hope a way to get a real job with some benefits and decent pay. They spent their years in office enriching themselves with corrupt schemes (Maddox is the poster boy, there are others equally culpable). My point is, the elected officials didn’t do anything to help the CAUSES of black-on-black crime, which is the only way to help the situation. The opportunity to attract companies to Tallahassee is always there – I hoped for better from our present city govt – But sadly, it seems beyond their understanding that JOBS in the South Side might help (banning plastic straws seems more important). Perhaps new southside companies might not help the situation, people have to take the opportunity handed to them – but it’s better than doing nothing, which is the legacy of Gillum’s time as “mayor” of Tallahassee. I hope John Morgan becomes Gillum’s worst nightmare. Perhaps Morgan can accomplish what the local FBI seems reluctant to do.

Thanks for some well-reasoned comments. Some. However, who is being held down in bondage? I am not trying to be patronizing, but unless someone is literally being held against their will then the excuse just does not exist. Some people (all colors, races, backgrounds) with great opportunity fail, while others without opportunities succeed. Success, defined in a secular sense, has common denominators and excuse making is not one of them. You also fall into the trap when you ask “where is out government’s maturity?” Our government leaders reflect who we are, but the bigger question is “Who cares?” The government should play no role – too many in our country rely on the government and not themselves. And, your’re right, that starts with the heart.
