"When I finally took a breath I asked him what he does for a living. He informed me that he is a Marine and that was when I noticed he was missing a leg."
Seriously? You write musings on things you observe and it seemingly took you quite some time to notice someone was missing their leg (even if outfitted with a prosthetic)?!
And to rub it into your readers, you continue forth spewing:
"So, I ask you this, is it OK to acknowledge someone’s difference in appearance and possibly learn something great about them..."
But you had already stated the following:
"I immediately assured him I wouldn’t talk the entire 3 hour flight… I lied."
1]. How would you ever find something about another human being Kimmy? You're an admitted (nonstop) talker and an admitted liar!
2]. Why do you hide from us the fact that you are perhaps a hopeless narcissist? -"I had a great time sharing my whole life story with him..." and yet you waste our time asking anyone what they think? -"So, I ask you this...".
3]. Why would you deny this physically and perhaps even emotionally traumatized individual peace and quiet or at least a "normal" flight? The war took this mans leg, you took this mans life for 3 hours.
You apparently have this secret agenda to play a mind game in your column and laugh at what your "readers" respond to. Well, Kimmy, you have been found out! I am onto the game!
Shouldn't you apologize to your readers and employer?
Thank you very kindly for responding and expalining to me the comments.
I see now. I am a Democrat, but I must agree with you and the Governor.
I wonder though, if drugs apparently are "now negatively impacting" at least the regional economy, will the government step up its "war on drugs" or, as I prefer, to cutback on social programs, especially those programs to assist drug "consumers" to get clean and sober.
Hey, drug addicts couldn't make the proper life decision to stay away from drugs in the first place. All drug addicts are thieves and none accept personal responsibility.
This article is about someone whom asked the responsible citizens of The City of Youngstown to entrust with him the inherent responsibility of public office.
Anthony Catale had the responsibility of making and impacting very serious decisions regarding Youngstown's educational system and the children of our community.
He asked of his community to be elevated to role model and spokesperson of his constituents in an elected position.
Anthony Catale had, not only every advantage and privilege while being raised from a youth, but also forgiveness and credibility from "learning on the job" politically from the citizens of Youngstown.
He in a single dash of repetitive stupidity, threw all of it away. Forever. Until another Catale comes forth to purge this memory from the people, everyone will remember and associate the Catale name with recklessness and incompetence and to some, stupidity.
So dawn421, this isn't just a DUI story. This to some degree is another fall from political grace story in The City of Youngstown.
Additionally, I am willing to bet he states he is a victim. That something terrible has happened to him or a family member and that drunk driving is new to Anthony Catale. Anthony Catale apparently is a corrupt politician who feels he is above the driving laws of the land.
I state this not maliciously, but as a matter of pattern. When he had made mistakes while in a public role, he NEVER accepted fault nor personal responsibility.
Also, dawn421, you stated:
"i am sure he was not the only one that got a DUI that night. should we put all the pics in the paper?"
I say we should. EVERYONE should know whom the felons are, whom the pedophiles are, whom the shoplifters are, whom the spousal beaters are, and on and on.
Wouldn't you feel safer knowing you are in an increased percentage of danger when you are nearer to these morally and ethically and legally corrupt pieces of trash human beings?
Ice House Inn does it up right

Ohio Dems could use right to work
Union Solidarity?
H A!
Union leaders sell out there own members. I have personally seen that here in Youngstown.

Government should install video cameras on every street block.
Citizens will at least have that sense of... hope.

Ohio and the US should widen attention span on bridge safety
I would like to jump on the "Write a letter to a government official" bandwagon, but friends, this is only the beginning of a long and slow process.
Enjoy your infrastructure as it is now. In years and decades to come I believe it will not get much better.

2 vacant houses burn in Youngstown
@ georgejeanie:
Yes, I totally agree with you.
Maybe the firefighters can show up only to make it look good, but once there they all can take a union break.

Oakhill haunts McNally
First off,
ALL OF YOU UNEDUCATED PHILOSOPHICAL AND OPINIONATED FOOLS NEED TO GET OFF BERTRAMS ASS!!!
Secondly,
Thank you sir for another great column. It indeed is needed to be reminded of the evil that permeates our community.
McNally should NEVER have made it this far. Seemingly, Mr. De Souza, only you and I understand that trash belongs at the curb.
