We are the Bulldogs, Mighty Mighty Bulldogs. Everywhere we go People want to know Who we are So we tell them.
That being said - make sure there's a hardship clause, because sports = discipline, and keep/save/rescue many a wayward youth from getting into trouble. From Experience.
I can't believe people are so obtuse as to take a comment that was meant to describe dealing with the desire for many to have freedom in personal relationships and stretch the subject out to encompass rape and murder, as well as thievery. These things have no relationship to the original topic AT ALL. That is either a juvenile tactic perhaps learned on a high school debate team, or an unintelligent simplistic one. Neither has any merit.
I am in my early 50s. In that time, I've met and worked with gay people, Islamic people, Jewish people, uneducated people, PHDs, lawyers...... , white people, black people, Asians, Indians, Native Americans, Europeans from almost EVERY country in Europe. Read all kinds of history, read the Christian bible twice, and consider myself fairly well educated. Trying to LIMIT what others do to conform to what YOU BELIEVE is right or moral simply LOWERS YOU. Try living your own life and letting others do as they feel they need to do, so long as they are not hurting you. A wise man once told me "It takes all kinds to make the world". He's dead now, yet he seems wiser to me every day.
One of the best resources Poland has is the Poland Woods. The Woods are a gem, and have served as a peaceful oasis for generations of residents and visitors.
Understood that Poland Village representatives have a fiduciary duty to the residents. Please remember that a fiduciary duty is not solely a discussion of money and lease payments, of knowing the price of everything. IT is also an issue of Stewardship of resources and knowing that some resources cannot be valued in $$$.
Perhaps with today's directional drilling techniques, drilling can be done with no surface impact to the Woods. However, don't let anyone tell you there are not risks associated with drilling and fracking and then later servicing the wells that would be drilled. There are. Sometimes those risks are warranted. Make sure all the potential benefits are evaluated against the impacts, the risks weighed AND minimized prior to opening what could otherwise be a Pandora's Box of unintended unforeseen consequences.
I didn't care that Limbaugh called her a slut or a prostitute. She is neither, and should at this point in her life be able to handle idiotic statements from others. The thing that DID bother me was Limbaugh's request for the posting of inappropriate videos of sexual activities for his viewing pleasure. That seems completely wrong, and the more egregious error on his part. Could he be off the OXY wagon? If I was an advertiser on his show, I would not want to be associated with that statement or point of view. Limbaugh's apology did not even mention the request for video, so his advertisers continue to look for the door.
If the guy's been out of work for a while and has a good skillset that is in demand, then look at Human Resources and the ongoing rampant AGE DISCRIMINATION that a majority of HR departments practice. Ageism is silent. Ageism is faceless. If it was legal to do, HR would include a "You must be currently employed and have been born no later than 198xyz to apply for this job"
FandE - No. I am an independent voter. Was the democratic mafia prison crack supposed to be an insult? Everyone knows that prisons are owned by republicans
You are still living in a fantasy land thinking that there is a difference between Repubs and Democrats? No difference exists between the parties that MONEY won't bridge. You also seem to believe that either of the political parties create jobs. They don't. BUSINESSES do. People do.
Give me a candidate that promotes and rewards business for employing Americans. Give me a candidate that changes the tax code and business environment so that it PENALIZES financial speculation and REWARDS INVESTMENT. Give me a candidate that cares about AMERICAN Citizens more than he cares about CORPORATIONS and GLOBALIZATION. And one that would invoke the existing antitrust regulations against banks and other institutions that are now "too big to fail".
Otherwise, we are simply waiting for round II of the economic collapse.
FandE - You are kidding yourself. Addressing Delphi retirees' issues is not going to happen. NEVER going to happen no matter WHO gets elected. That bird has flown, the horse is out of the barn, the fat lady has sung. WHY?
MONEY makes things happen. Next comes VOTES. And thanks to electronic voting, sometimes MONEY trumps votes. If you have MONEY AND VOTES, perhaps someone will listen.
Come live in the real world of how things ARE, not how you think things SHOULD be if everyone only played fair. They don't. And people with money pay people with power to write rules that benefit THEM. Not you.
Except that there is a "guns or butter" choice that has to be made now. When the country allows its manufacturing base to be systematically dismantled and its jobs shipped overseas to take advantage of low wages and lax environmental controls, haven't you already LOST the important war? The ECONOMIC war!
WARS were originally fought to gain access to resources that would better your own nation. Not to make the world safe and secure for multinational income streams for a few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the soldier.
Make no mistake about Mr. BOOT, Globalist Council of Foreign Relations member. Anyone who has studied the purpose of the Council of Foreign Relations knows that one of its MAIN raisons de 'etre is to LOWER U.S. wage rates in an attempt to ensure economic parity in the world. How about instead of LOWERING the U.S. wages and working conditions, work to raise the conditions and wages in the other countries? But that is just Ohio-born common sense talking. Not some jingoistic globalism wrapped up in the U.S. flag.

Youngstown to install paid parking meters downtown
The City of Youngstown is going to PAY people to park on its streets? What a stroke of genius.
THAT should generate some business downtown.
