msnbc.com Entertainment: Lay off Katie Couric! CBS is to blame
 
B.E. Note: This is another blow for women in this country who sets a milestone for women. Katie seems to follow a list of other women who have tried to break the ice when come to jobs and positions only held by man. Most people say this is only because women will not come together and support each other. Katie Couric will be looking for a new job soon, just like it appear Hillary Clinton is not getting that full support from women in this country. Either way both of these ladies are fantastic people who have reach a Plato of successfulness. They will always be a noticeable part of the world history forever. 

So you, say I’m not my brother’s keeper. The Good book say; but you are.
Each and every parent needs to be held accountable for the actions and conduct of their child.
Some parents don’t care what is happening with their child. Some just outright don’t care.
Most say I’m not responsible for what my child does when they are not in their presents.
This just down right wrong. Some even know and see their child doing wrong and could careless. But dare you as society to say one word to them about that wrongness. Here is the crunched; I even see some parent doing wrong with their child.
Until society start to get a grip on these social practices of children and parents gone wild. All the menacing things that our children do against society will never stop. Parents must understand they are their brother’s keeper, when comes to their children and havoc their children releases on society. The Parent must also be held accountable at all times.
May Our Gods have mercy on all those that are doing wrong and a speedy recovery for all those that got hurt in that wrongness*.

I’m still darn angry that big brother still tells the

private home owner what they should do on their

property!

Look, many people informed me that they received

a sanitation ticket for a trashcan on their front

lawn. This is observed! How dare you received a

ticket for a trashcan on your private property.

Also how dare anyone access your private

property without your permission or a warrant? Our

city maybe in need of extra finances but to violate

the privacy and rights of our city citizens to get it,

is both wrong and unjust.  

Licenses and Inspections base on citizens

complaints do have the right I’m told to issue a

violation only. There are times when a Block or Civic

Association can have a citation issued against you.

But, most citizens sign and agreed to follow the rules. 

Please, our Political and legal folks out their in

Philadelphia -Philly land.  Check this out and

ask big brothers to stay off private property with their

ticket books. Stick to sidewalks and shrubs that’s

blocking pedestrian travel. Strange how Sanitation

Officers would give you a ticket for a trashcan on

private property, before they write an obstruction

ticket blocking the sidewalk, example; portable

basketball hoops. Maybe folks this bull crap evasive

practice of peeping and ravaging through trashcans on

private property will stop.         

Can someone please tell me (joke folks;}) where’s St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico?

The only time we ever hear about these two territorial countries is when we need these wonderful folks for something. Hello - Hillary, Obama, McCain and Nader For many years it seems that The United States Government have kept these citizens on the back burner like second-class citizens. Guess what folks; yes, they pay their fair share of taxes too.  Our Government has the nerves to push for the rights of the citizens in Cuba, when the citizens of St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico still don’t have the rights, to call their country a state of the United States of America. Well, this time around let’s see what our politicians will promise those fine folks (and by the way I have family in both counties) for their support. It maybe time to consider bringing St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico in our union.

Why, are our urbanites moving into matchbox apartments? Is the Question on MSN?

HELLO!!!!!!

I think the real question is; why are realtors selling overly priced homes to poor people, even thou they know that some can’t afford it.

I’m told folks buy homes because of the beauty and most know they can’t even afford the up keep.  Hmmmm! Is this a ploy to move the poor to the suburbs or to the rich back to the city? Well, I think it is just damn good common sense for the rich. In a few months our economy seems to be headed for a dive to the bottom. The rich know without dough that they better not get caught with the big monstrosity sitting on a green piece of grass. They know just how expensive from the electricity to heating will be to maintain it. So by moving back to the city and yes, taking over that matchbox apartment the poor person no longer want.  Will save them hundreds, if not thousand of dollars they will need in the coming future. So, please my poor friends, mainly my friends in the Logan section of Philly. Your homes are now on the market at a value of $95,000.00 and up hang in here with us. Let the rich find homes elsewhere. Don’t get snookered into buying that rich person big monstrosity, from some realtor and their flashy vacation to bonga- bonga insensitive.

 

 

A big *congrats* to our entire force of the Philadelphia Police Department. As a former Co-Chair of a Sub-Police Station I know when a citizen is hurt ,mainly if it is racally overtone. The fully extend of the law is put in actions. I'm sure the District Attorney's Office to each and every Officer wanted the speedy arrest and conviction of that person who attacked a Gino's worker. No one has the right to attack anyone, because you don't like what they said. We have the right to say verbally what we don't like, but keep your hands in your pocket where they belong.  Our mayor said, it is time to get the thugs off our streets and to return some peace to our citizens. The city of Philadelphia is attracting everyone from Movie Stars to Heads of States. Philadelphia, outside the congestion of New York and the weather related problem of LA are now becoming the center piece for social gatherings. We as a city mainly for our citizens can not and should not allow thugs to control our wonderful city. I'm not happy at all about anyone posting a sign to express how they feel about someone. We all are humans and different . If we can not as humans learn to respect the differences of each other, we will never truly function as an open country of people representing all races. Our greatest problem in the United States Of America is that we allow "hate" of all kinds to grow and fester greater than we do for love. Again, Congrats for a fast and well job done by our Law enforcement people. May yours and my God always bless our Wonderful Citizens, our Visitors and this Great City.

The United States are opening the flood gate to funds that's badly needed to boost it's economy, according to various media sources.
 
B.E. Notes: This is wonderful new for all the workng folks. Mainly if I.R.S. have a W-2 on you. But, to other 40 million or so non-W-2 citizens, you maybe assed-out like the last time. Our disabled Veterans, disabled citizens, proud retiree's on social security, even some welfare citizens who just fell on hard times. Please let's include all our citizens this time around. It is time that our Government and some elected folks understand fully. 'NOT ALL POOR OR DISABLED PEOPLE ARE A BUNCH OF BUMS AND WASTED FOLKS WHO ARE JUST BLEEDING THE SYSTEM". Most of the time the POOR and DISABLED are over looked and just pushed aside.  I heard there are some elected folks who are hopping mad about hearing the Government had plan to over look the POOR and DISABLED. They plan on holding up the vote untill all Americans are included. All I can say let's keep both eyes opened on this and May my God and yours always bless this great county, The United States Of America.  

Inside Story host by Monica Malpass who is a fantastic host, brought up the issue of the Boy Scouts of America Gay Rights.

Our city claims to be a serious host to the Gay/Lesbians Tourist and Residence according to the various media sources. Seems to have a problem with deciding if our city council folks are hiding facts. The fact council is not supposed to discriminate against anyone for anything. It is the job of council to find a way around issues and to come up with solutions to problems like these.

Solution:  1. City Council could revoke the lease to the Boy Scouts Of Philadelphia. 2. Reissue the lease to someone else as under the same terms as the offered the Boy Scouts. 3. The “someone else” could sub-lease the building to the Boy Scouts where these ruled don’t mater to the someone else.

 

 

Problem:  Solved. 

 

 

If, this is a problem then city council needs to shutdown all city functioning buildings or removed all known gays and atheists from those buildings. Yes, this is and to include any schools that have gays and atheists attending in these building to include city workers.

I’m sure city council will readjust their thinking, soon,

There is a news article just came out that states; it is a waste of time to lock up offenders of minor offenses. Society could make out and benefit better if they let that offender served out community service.

I mentioned this before in my Suggestions to curve crime. Putting people in jail for minor offenses is a waste of time for the government, the taxpayers and the offender. If, a minor offense is committed against society, then the offender should repay the citizens that were offended. “Not be put up in Hotel Philadelphia” where the citizens must suffer another lost by paying for that offender to be housed in a taxpayer hotel for hard criminals. Remember, Our criminal prison hotels are a city with in your city. They have their own rules and are willing to educate an offender to be a better criminal next time. Reform is getting an offender to understand the offense that they committed and to help them repay society for the damaged they did. Only, and only then if the offender of a minor crime cannot come to an understanding to repay the citizens of society they hurt. Then, they should be channel through society courts for reconsideration to serve harder time. Please see my Blog On MYFOXPHILA ppd3066, about suggestions to curve crime.

My father was a Cop shot in the face when I was a child. The Second Amendment of our county is a must. It should never be tampered with, but the laws on our books referring to how we use these guns should be enforced. I worry about the creation of more revised Amendments, for Amendment. This is where it gets so confusing. The right to bear arms means just that. It don’t read the right to bear arms and let the police know if you lost your gun or gave it someone. The House voted on September 21, 1789 to accept; A well regulated militia being the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed”. All citizens of the United should have the right to wear that gun exposed or concealed on their persons at all times. Every law abiding citizen rights are being infringed upon and violated when they are forced to hide or register  a gun, even told where to carry that gun. We as citizens may not like our laws but they were put in place to be sure our government never take atvantage or attempt to over throw it’s citizens. Please forgive my typing I have poor vision.

Over the strong objection of federal safety officials, a quiet movement to lower the legal drinking age to 18 is taking root as advocates argue that teenagers who are allowed to vote and fight for their country should also be able to enjoy a beer or two. The proposal, which is the subject of a national petition drive by the National Youth Rights Association, has been studied in a handful of states in recent years, including Florida, Wisconsin, Vermont and Missouri, where supporters are pushing a ballot initiative.

B.E. Note: Look, people who reads my blogs know that I'm partly blind~I call myself the Blind Editorial.

But, this is the most dumbness piece of crap any serious minded Politician could have dreamed up. look, I served my country and are willing to die for God and my country. But for someone to say If he is old enough to fight for his country. He or she is old enough to drink. I say; to hell with the death tolls of the war. Let's look at the death tolls of this "GREAT" U.S.A. . The greatest superpower country in the world who is also the greatest police country in the world. By the way we have the greatest amount of deaths in the world. Now, let's add them to the deaths of the war. At least of sober alcohol and drug free soldiers are doing a fantastic job in the war proving they are the and best representative this country has to offer. Yes, sober alcohol and drug free. Our children and some adults are dying at an alarming rate mainly for nothing. We can't find an answer now as to why our young folks are picking up guns and rifles killing each other. So, some lame brain three piece suit have nothing better to do, than to submit a suggestion to lower the drinking age to 18. WOW! I guess, if our brave military men if drunk, makes the pain of possibly getting killed easier.  Mr. nothing to do politician man stop wasting our tax money paying your salary.  There are other serious matters  our great country is facing. Just in case you need something to do like: two countries with "A" bombs and their finger on the trigger, Our troops dying at an alarming rate, China destroying the US economy with their importing and exporting and getting stronger, global warming, Americans dying at an alarming rating with in our states. Arabs holding US Citizens hostage with their high oil prices. Please, Mr. nothing to do. *JUST PICK ONE*. Leave the suggestion to raise the drinking age to 18 alone.  We Americans are truly tired of all the dying, mostly of young folks. The magic word is still TEEN.    

This Suggestion was offered to Phillyblock.com and send to just about every Public official. I don't want a pat on the back. I live and love this city just like you. No 15 minutes of fame wound stop people from dying. I submit again not to blog as a means to rip someone but, to do want I can to help. Please, blog let the politicians know, we are tired. Elections are apond us, they need all of us.

My Heart, Cheers and Prayers go out to anyone making our community a better place to live.

 

I have given many good years to my Community always for the betterment of it. I Support all of our Community Activist, Consultants, leaders and others who is willing to reach out to help.

 

I'm fully aware of the crime and other problems that’s a cancer in our communities. But, I became concerned with the choice of language and war zone types of descriptions in describing our communities. Most of the wonderful people here are still trying to do something to make things better.

 

It’s truly hard for me to believed our Schools, Volunteers of Community Programs, Scouting, Social Programs, Community Coordinators, Street Coordinators from Lunch to Block Captains, Clergy and Visiting Ministers do not have so call REAL MEN. (meaning people)

 

Again, I strongly feel we need eyes and ears to make our streets safe for all our citizens.

 

But, I stated at most of our community meetings (every time).  1. We need to understand the problem 2. We need to isolate the problem and 3. We need neutralized the problem

 

Until we do this we will always have these problems in our communities.

 

 

 

UNDERSTANDING:  just like water flow down hill so does trouble. We must find the               

 

                                     source; try to work with the problem to see what we can do.

 

                                     Maybe the person or people need some counseling or even a job

 

                                     a steering program may help instead of jail.

 

 

 

ISOLATION:               remove the persons or people from the situation; the street, a home

 

                                     A bad relation with the help of City Services or Mediation Services

 

                                     instead of jail.

 

 

 

NEUTRALIZED:         this can and should happen only when the above mentioned have been

 

                                      applied. Jail should be a last answer to the problem, not the first.

 

 

 

One example:                a Patrolling Officer arrested a male after he or she was

 

                                     gambling or consuming alcohol on our streets. A Mediator 

 

                                     should talk to the person finding out What and Why? A stern

 

                                     warning to the person should be given while this situation is

 

                                     being handled by the City Mediators. The person is told not

 

                                     to get caught again or they will go directly to jail. City Mediator,

 

                                     DHS, Job Banks, Probation and Justice Center could work

 

                                     with the Parents and Minors or Adults in helping to resolve to

 

                                     neutralized this problem. Giving back to community through

 

                                     community services, volunteering with a community base

 

                                     organization and even working with our clergy throughout the

 

                                     community. The City Mediator could request DHS, Social Services or even 

 

                                     City Services to a person’s home, if that is where the problem may

 

                                     Be.

 

 

 

Chasing drug dealers, drug users, children with a behavioral problem and yes, even prostitutes from corner to corner cannot and will never solve any problems. It only creates another problems for another part of our communities.   

 

Our Street Observers or Town Watch people should just report the situation not be a Police Officer.

 

It only stands to reason. A Police Officer has problems approaching these people with Mace, Nightsticks, Protection Vest and guns also they get shot at. I find them to be more of a REAL MAN, than you being a dead fool.

 

I agree, leave the Policing to the Police. Come out in Support of your community letting the bad guys know we are watching and will call the Police.  But, if we keep telling the bad guy and the Media that we live in Iraq not even your mother is safe here. We are sending more and more invitations the bad gays to come in and setup shop.

 

It doesn’t take a 100? REAL MEN, 1000? REAL MEN, 100,000? REAL MEN. (Meaning people)

 

It takes a good Community Base Program under good Directorship mentioned above to rid us of these problems.
