Guess you haven't been out of Mom & Dad's basement lately. I live downtown. I see a LOT going on, a definite vibrancy and interest. I frankly don't see a "mess", but I suppose if someone's own life is a sad pathetic failure, it could SEEM that way.

We try to distance ourselves from that we dispise in ourselves, e.g., homophobes are fighting their own sexual urges, etc. As Shakespeare said, "Methinks he doth protest too much." <br /><br />Those who assume everyone else is a crook probably are not people you want to trust. They assume others will take advantage of you because instinctively, that's what THEY would do, if given the chance.Jet Dixonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-3539205883548266092009-07-24T11:10:50.732-05:002009-07-24T11:10:50.732-05:00Simply because someone may need more money to run ...Simply because someone may need more money to run a government doesn't make them dishonest.

He was at "ground zero" when the council began to aggressively borrow to "prime the pump" on downtown and is a reason our city's in such a mess. He help start the reckless borrowing on downtown development that has results in just a few less empty storefronts (if that is possible).<br /><br /><br />Mark, take a hint. Get out of public office and run your own business. Just have a back up plan as we know any business you run that you can't levy your mistakes, will not last.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
