On Poll deems McDonald ‘unqualified’

Well, call me superficial but I prefer not to have a McJudge handing out McSentences. I can say, however, that I would vote for and support mister Jack Hoag whom I believe to be a truly decent person to start with. That's all I've got to say.

On Milton OKs 6 a.m. alcohol sales
Posted on January 4 at 6:36 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
6am, really? Be drunk by 6:30, on the road with the morning work commuters by 7. Let's not forget the late-night partying that will, at 4-5am, count on the 6am sales to keep partying. Which involves driving. Hmmm, perhaps the quote may have been more accurate as stating "I see no reason why we cannot try and make more money for the city of Milton by enticing people to drive drunk." After all, why should just the gas stations and the like make a profit? I guess it is always about the almighty dollar well before public safety.

I stay with a friend who lives on Park when attending classes at BTC. (Agreed those houses lit-up are great, did you see the size of that Santa? Two stories tall, I swear!) Many times I have taken walks around at night mainly to stretch my legs. Only once was I engaged by a car of males asking if I were straight; "Hey man, you straight?" Meaning, no doubt, if I needed any drugs. After stating I was, indeed, straight, they drove off. If I can walk around at night and have that be the only incident, I would call the 4th ward safe for the most part. But all it takes is one idiot. Car thefts are done mainly by younger individuals looking for profitable items not violence or confrontations. If you walk or jog at 6am chances are the bad boys and girls are asleep after a nights partying. Playing it safe and choosing optimal locations and times and days is only logical common sense, but if you had to be in the 4th ward at night, I wouldn't be too stressed out about it unless you're an overly (or under) dressed lady walking alone or something asking for commentary by someone.

Okay, someone has to start :) Harvard professor Tom Lehrer performed his own version of a Christmas Carol which brings to light the true meaning of Christmas; The commercial spirit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtZR3lJob...
On Do you lack the skills employers need?

For I.T. related employment it is possible to get hired locally but odds are your best chances are elsewhere such as Madison. Makes sense. As it also makes sense for such a facility since this area is more manufacture based. As far as getting work, when I had those hard times of getting hired, I would make my own job and garner work on my own effort. Many cannot do this due to the nature of their career, but sometimes switching tact and skill sets is a viable option. Many factors weigh in for obtaining jobs, and many apply. A way to sort through massive applications is to toss those without education and/or experience. Age, yes, that is certainly another factor and another reason why older workers do work harder and do whatever it takes to stand out from the gads of fellow applicants. Other factors have been used as well, such as health and longevity. But back to the subject at hand; yes I think it's helpful to have such a facility. I just hope the employers employ enough to make a difference.
On Chest pains? Don't drive. Call 911

I'd be worried they'd take me to Mercyless. But it makes sense, if you drove there and ask to be seen, the wait would be extended even more so. This way they are forced by law to expedite things or face possible monetary loss. The disdain I have for that institution shall never go away, their lack of compassion or speedy assistance made it clear who and what is truly important. Which, I know, deters from the message intended here, but it still is a concern for myself and, I imagine, others. Save us, but deliver us from THAT place, please. ;)
On What charity will you help this Christmas?
Posted on December 1 at 1:53 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
ECHO is always worthy in my opinion. They really have been making a huge difference to our community! They not only help with food but also other things that people are in need of. Of course some will always take advantage of a system, but not all are overweight, lethargic or uneducated. Just victims of circumstance and economy. I do not judge without knowning precisely their situation. Until then, what I do see is that people need help. So ECHO would be a way for me to do just that, even if it isn't much but a few cans of food. A few cans make a difference, and that's what this is about.
