"An extremely reliable and well placed source in the intelligence community has informed me that Ron Suskind’s revelation that the White House ordered the preparation of a forged letter linking Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda and also to attempts made to obtain yellowcake uranium is correct but that a number of details are wrong.
The Suskind account states that two senior CIA officers Robert Richer and John Maguire supervised the preparation of the document under direct orders coming from Director George Tenet. Not so, says my source. Tenet is for once telling the truth when he states that he would not have undermined himself by preparing such a document while at the same time insisting publicly that there was no connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda. Richer and Maguire have both denied that they were involved with the forgery and it should also be noted that preparation of such a document to mislead the media is illegal and they could have wound up in jail.
My source also notes that Dick Cheney, who was behind the forgery, hated and mistrusted the Agency and would not have used it for such a sensitive assignment. Instead, he went to Doug Feith’s Office of Special Plans and asked them to do the job."
SO THAT PROVES IT--DICK CHENEY (AT VERY LEAST) IS GUILTY OF AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE, AND IS GUILTY OF ELECTIVELY STARTING A WAR FOR WHICH HE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!
THIS IS NO LONGER JUST A "LIBERAL" ASSERTION!

on my non-Catholic list, was/is birth control.
I remember when I found out nasty sis at 14 was 'with' a boy, and I told parents she needed to be on birth control --WOW you'd think I had just killed someone!
This was a HUGE arguement-the 'warden'(step-dad) said my plan was giving her permission. I said shes already doing it-do you think she will stop because you say so?
Well her father signed the papers, he didnt want his baby to have a baby.
he wasn't happy-as most dads arent when it comes to their baby girl, but he understood the reasons for it.
No parent can follow a teen around, a teen will do what they want in strange places. few parents get lucky and have a teen that will wait.
Some parents just plainly ignore the situation until the word 'pregnant' spills out.
If I know for a fact whats done is done,and theres a 50-50 on it will happen again--BIRTH CONTROL--and I happen to prefer the needle one every 3 months --so I can witness it being taken!!
I can still agree with birth control and believe in GOD. I don't let the Pope make my personal decisions. "

But you'll never get that by the Christians!
movedsouth, as I have said before, if you believe that people actually PREFER to be on Welfare, then you assume that they are content to live a near-poverty existence in miserable surroundings just for the sole "reward" of being lazy and bored.
Come on. I'm cynical, admittedly, but that's just plain unrealistic to the extreme. People have pride, and want to work. I sincerely believe that. Putting people in better homes isn't giving them a job--besides, who's to say that those people didn't look for jobs, but were turned away because of no experience, arrest records, inadequate schooling, etc? You can't take the chicken out of the henhouse, and put him in a barn and just expect him to give milk! They should have ALSO provided employment opportunities for those folks and THEN judged the program. That "experiment" fails on so many levels it's hard to even know where to start decrying it. "

But when it comes to supporting yourself, there is nothing more important for a young woman to do. I have seen so many times how dependency (whether on father or husband or someone else) breeds resentment on both sides of the fence -- it's a recipe for a miserable situation all around. Allowing yourself to be dependent on someone else leaves you just too vulnerable.
Get an education, get a job, get your own place -- be prepared to take care of yourself -- and your children. You never know if your husband you are so sure loves you as much as you love him will never leave you. And even if you are right, you never know when he might get hit by a truck, or come down with a debilitating disease. Or, you never know, he might be a wife-beater and YOU decide to leave HIM.

CHICAGO (AP) - Governor Rod Blagojevich and Illinois State Police say state troopers will help Chicago officers work on reducing gun-related crime and dismantling gangs.
The Thursday announcement comes as Chicago Police Department statistics show homicides in the city rose 18 percent through July compared with 2007.
The city was showing a 13 percent increase for the year during May and June. But 62 homicides in July increased that uptick to 18 percent.

personally I dont regret my 4 kids,they are my life and own my heart,
however I do regret choices I made for being with their dads. I think I want to blame 'my sign' --Libra--for we always try to fix things,
then my gender-- girls at times are dumb, me included, we think with our hearts, we love when we need to stop loving, we think the faults can be mended, we tend to ignore our brain and common sense!

Birth control fails sometimes. When you're worried about putting food on the table, condoms are not the first thing on a boy's mind--and we know what IS.
And guess what, Chris? You know what demographic group has the HIGHEST number of elective abortions? MIDDLE CLASS WHITE WOMEN! Which only goes to prove that the ones you might least expect to be "lax" on their reproduction options are JUST AS IRRESPONSIBLE--only they can AFFORD to "do something about it"! Or they have a safety net in place--parents usually--to help raise the kid.
Dropping out of school to work is sometimes a necessary evil when you're poor.
When you don't have a jib, and there's none to be found, what do you do if not sit at home? When gas is more than your welfare check, how do you go look for a job?

NO way!!
most of these rentals also run on One electric/water bill split by tenants.

KARL: I dont judge all by my ONE sis.
facts are I have 6 sisters.
a. 2 are system abusers
b. 2 semi-system needy
c. 1 has to have medicade for serious heart disease.(only program she uses).
d. 1 should have medicade for heart disease but pays insurance and mostly cant afford heart meds.
e. ME
sister C and I have been the work-your butt off people.
the system was needed one or twice but just as temporary situation. I cant fault her for medicade needed now,
by-passes are costly.
the 2 B. sisters --do work but cannot better themselves because they would be cut of essential food stamps,homesite, medical coverage needed for kids. Both have dead-beat fathers.
in this case the system hinders them from going forward-because they cannot afford rent even with a job making 10.00 an hour. after taxes and health insurance that would be about 325.00 a week, the 1st 2 paychecks would be for rent alone. Co=pays on insurance would bury them if medical was needed.
NOW sisters A. are the best abusers!
as I have said one is nasty-drugs has fried her brain there is no hope, she just turned 40. 2 of her 3 kids are in jail right now/drugs also..
the next one works at times, has a disabled child due to drugs habits, and also dead-beat dads. She however,is the refurbisher,and lives above her means.
THESES TWO have loads of friends(druggies)--ALL these friends are system abusers!
then they know the families/friends of the friends--ALL ABUSERS--to render a guess that would be about 4,000 of Auburn's population, THAT I KNOW OF.
So my judgement is not based on ONE-
its actually based on almost every druggie in the city! "

You do find people living in poverty who have pride and try to do what they can to make their homes clean and neat, though it can be a losing battle in some neighborhoods, and they may very well not have the wherewithal to move.
You also find people at the other end of the spectrum who have been scumbags and losers all their lives, like cm's sister or the drug dealers on Chris' street.
There is a measure of circumstance in every life, just as there is also a healthy dose of personal responsibility. We all have a certain amount of ability to determine where we go in life, but we all can be subject to the unhappy whims of circumstances and environment as well.
When you look at things in such a polarized fashion -- one side saying: It's all the system's fault, these would all be decent people if they weren't disadvantaged and treated wrong, and the other side saying: it's all their own faults, they should get a job, move and make something of themselves and if they don't it is entirely their own faults -- that's when you get nowhere. Neither of those positions is entirely true, while there is a touch of truth in each.
I think of life like steering a boat in a river -- you have the ability to have some effect on where you go, but in some spots, the current is stronger than you are; it's always a back-n-forth as to which influence determines where the boat will go. Usually, both factor in, and the result is not always predictable, nor can the blame if the boat goes astray be clearly laid entirely on one (personal responsibility) or the other (circumstances, environment, outside influences).

Farmer's Gal wrote on Aug 8, 2008 6:44 AM:
But you also assert that Auburn isn't the hub, Mohawk (or some other place) is. If there IS a hub, then that means they don't still give out $40 and a bus pass to send them back whence they came.
So, I am trying to extrapolate what the current situation is, based on what you've said, and that's assuming you have kept up through buddies and former co-workers over the past 13 years. From what you say, there is a (stupid) hub program, but Auburn isn't where they are released. Do I have that right?
Like I said, I only remember the stink at the time it was proposed and what I heard around town with regards to Auburn being chosen as the hub site. If that's not true, that's great, but if you could affirm that I have understood you correctly, that would also be reassuring.

And I can understand you rpoint about some of the ne'er-do-wells down there and at other lactations.
I guess where we differ is this--YOU see it as a "result of the welfare state". In doing so, you assume that individuals are content to live a near-poverty existence in slovenly surroundings, all for the benefit of making a quick, measly-but-easy buck off the government. Can you really fool yourself into thinking that that "Trade off" is worth it to ANY individual?
On the other hand, I believe that these people are where they are in a large part because of a lack of economic opportunity which puts them in poverty. Lets face it--the inner cities aren't exactly brimming with opportunities to elevate yourself out of poverty. And significantly, those that DO accomplish that these days more often than not do it by selling drugs to "move up" in the world. Which usually leads to a criminal record, which further diminishes employment opportunities. It's a sad and vicious cycle. In my opinion, just writing these people off with callous, self-righteous comments doesn't inform or enrich the discussion, or lead to any solution at all.
Can anyone in their place, with the lack of role models and knowledge of what constitutes "proper behavior" say that they wouldn't do the same?

Granted, there are a bunch of slumlords in Auburn and everyone needs a decent place to live. I can tell you from personal experience that many, many times landlords have fixed up buildings only to have them ruined by people with no respect for themselves or others (again, the welfare mentality). If they get kicked out for trashing the place, so what, the welfare department will find them another place to live. No ramifications for bad behaviour, you'd be hard pressed to sue a welfare recipient for damages.
I am a landlord Karl, not in Auburn though, and I check references before anyone moves in. My rule of thumb is no job, no references = no apartment. "

If her rent is 600 and they allow her 700--they mail her a 100 check--which she uses mostly to renovate.
If the place looks dumpy outside, trust me the inside is outstanding..she has a knack for refurbishing!

This is a nationwide epidemic--and not one for which there are any easy answers.

Last time we were there, two of the little kids, like maybe 8-9 years old, came over to look at our bikes and we asked them if they wanted to sit on them, and of course they did, twisting the throttles and make "Vrooom" noises. These were African American kids--cute as a button. Their mom came off one of the porches to talk to us about them, and tell her kids not to ruin anything, and thank us for letting the kids sit on them. I found them to be wonderfully nice people.
The thing is, nobody WANTS to "live like animals", Chris, but sometimes the financial condition that one is in precludes them from bettering their environment. Maybe they live there in the run-down apartments that the landlords have neglected because that's th only place they can afford? Your comment is shockingly callous, Chris--well, for a compassionate person it would be; maybe not for YOU.
The latest employment figures showed that 31% of people who lost their jobs were 4 YEAR COLLEGE GRADUATES (!!!), so
what do you think the chances are for those who haven't possible finished school or don't have college training?
Get off your high horse--if you look at people "like animals" they'll return the same sentiment back to you--people aren't stupid, Chris, and they can feel your prejudice and disdain.

Talk about stupid. What it costs us all in increased crime more than off-sets the cost of having release processing at each prison. Now the criminal network can build up more efficiently in one place and be right there and ready when one of their own gets out.
Guess which prison was chosen to be the hub for 8 or 10 others? That's right -- Auburn Correctional Facility.
Personally, I have always believed they should be sent back whence they came. If our community didn't breed the criminal in the first place, s/he should be foisted on us after incarceration. But the prison system doesn't want the expense of sending them back, so Auburn gets all the dregs and worse dumped right here.
If there's a prison guard reading this who wants to correct me on any particulars of this program, please do -- it's been a long time and my memory is fuzzy, or something may have changed since then, but this is my understanding of what went down. "

Yeah, Really! They should lock the doors and go home, never coming back. They shouldn't live too long without food and water. Thanks to the prisoner's families, we have a lot of problems. Auburn sure has gotten scummy. Glad I left! "

Thanks also nature, I got to read your reply. Glad it wasn't a puppy but a mountain bike, though not glad in general that it happened at all, of course. And the extra drink you needed afterwards is completely understood!
Cheers all! "

If you're not interested, that's fine and your business -- but keep it to yourself if you have nothing better than to make snotty comments about it. "
