OK. I just think it's awfully dangerous to make sweeping generalizations about groups of people, then vilifying and punishing said group

I've never heard of Earth Share. It seems Vinis helped environmental organizations solicit money from employees. Undoubtedly that is excellent preparation for helping environmental (and other) organizations solicit money from taxpayers. But that's not what most of us want our mayor to do.

What error? After talking to the owner, who was very nice, I determined there was no error in the story. I reply to most substantive comments, especially if they have questions or misstatements, such as saying I only went to a place once.

Unless of course it's vilification of the group who are tired of sidestepping human feces and the trash who are tired of being accosted for handouts and who voice their opinion of being fed up with the never ending demand for more freebies and more resources to clean up the mess.....

I was with you, Michael E. Peterson, until the end. I am not willing to roll over and accept the death of KWAX.

Notice the headline states she has the "skills" to be mayor...because she most assuredly does not have the experience to be mayor, and in PC government that's close enough when trying to put a puppet clone into office. This PC crowd is exactly like the KKK of the 1950's south.
