Frankly, I am getting a little tired of the same old same old. Whatever happened to the "God helps those who help themselves" mentality in this country? At age 17 I was an ORPHAN. My parents were not well to do. I joined the USMC, became a MAN, went on to College and made something of myself. I absolutely REFUSE to accept that in this day and age ANYONE in this country CANNOT BETTER THEMSELVES if they apply themselves. The answer is not to continue to coddle them like little black slaves but to tell them to stand up and straighten out. jdn

the murder rates in our cities are shocking. it seems none of the free press what to touch this issue. rather put nonsense on the front page vs taking political action to clean up the cities. philly running about a murder a day again this year. I think total is around 70 killed and mostly black areas yet not exclusive to black areas. Why isn't it played up more on front newspapers all over the country? one opinion is today's papers are more concerned about their own profits. Publicize the murders in their own cities will draw attention in other areas of the country. certainly , cut back on conventions, tourist money coming into the cities, and if they hurt the retail companies i have to assume they will cancel advertisements in the newspapers.. Therefore the news industry that puts itself above the population in bringing truth continue to hide the real problems in our cities and school systems. They would rather attack the republican adm , the war vs the democrat organizations that run our cities.
