Sunday 2 September News Articles and Observations

Here are a couple of news articles from Sunday 2 September and some brief observations on them.


A. Quality of Life in Colorado Springs Dives as Criminal Rap Youth Run Amok

It appears a hardcore crackdown is in order to get these young hoods under control. A strict non-tolerance policy by police and citizenry is the first step for the decent and responsible citizens to reclaim their community from these reckless irresponsible rap music listening gang members and cronies who have become increasingly more criminal, dangerous, and violent.

B. If Children Commit Crimes, Should Their Families Be Banished or Exiled From Their Communities or States or Nations ?


Switzerland is considering enacting harsh legislation such as this. Should such legislation be considered and enacted here in the US ? I would say yes. But I would give families three strikes before a mandatory exile or banishment from a state would occur. Where would these individuals go ? To any other state or another country that they would choose to go to. I wonder if some state or even some county may enact legislation like this in the coming years. Increased public pressure on responsible parenting and strict control of out-of-control youth is essential for a safe, productive, and efficient society.

C. Labor Day 2007


This article and the reports linked to it contain a lot of meaningful statistical information on the widespread abuses of Corporate America. I really like and endorse the proposals recommended. I would add one other: No company, corporation, business, or individual is eligible for contracts with or funding from any form of government if any official, executive, manager, or employee recieves any and all total compensation of any kind that exceeds the salary of the President of the United States.

E. This is Quite the Story...


I am already boycotting Circuit City due to their criminal behavior of firing most of their employees earlier this year and offering to give them jobs back only if they work at $7 per hour. This story indicates only further what a bunch of selfish jackasses that Circuit City is. This man will be collecting enormous financial damages from these idiots very soon. Death to the Circuit City Corporation !

Most people, yours truly included, enjoy professional and college football. But for the players, there is a dark and painful side that only exacerabates and increases in intensity as young men become middle aged and older men...
