Well on the news today a drug ring in Harlem NY was busted with a 24 million dollar shipment of illegal substances (as well as ak-47s and all the rest) However these kinds of incidents are becoming the exception in the big cities. Crime has been at a record low in the big cities around the U.S. but it is dramatically increasing in the suburbs. Gang activity, theft, drug use, and murder are all increasing rapidly in American suburban neighborhoods, in the once quietest and most peaceful communities. Why the turn around?

Honduras and south Africa have higher murder rate than the worst numbers available on Iraq. According to those same numbers the murder rate in Iraq is only 2X pre-Katrina New Orleans and 3X Washington DC. If you accept the Iraq health Ministry numbers, then Iraw has a lower rate than both New Orleans and DC.

I don't get these people. First they say the evil bastards in the oil companies charge too much money so lets tax them then they trust these same evil bastards to pay this tax themselves rather than just adding to the price of gas. What a crock! Nancy's oil tax is really just a gas and heating oil tax! Experts are saying it could add as much as 75 cents per gallon of gas. Who elected this moron?????

I was reading articles about the kidnapped boy who was found -- that he was most likely molested. My god, there is NOTHING sexual about a child. I don't understand how an adult could even be sexually attracted to a child. Yet, pedophiles are everywhere... What is with these monsters?!

Someone I know has changed their personality drastically and has kind of become a hermit, not working...extremely angry and has severe ups and downs...manias, we're all pretty sure it is bipolar.

What can we do?

I tried to cancel my weekend subscription today (the one that starts on Thursday) but they gave me an extra month (I think) saying they will reduce the price to 75 cents. What does that exactly mean? Is it really just getting it cheaper or is there something I don't know? I tried asking them some questions but I didn't get clear answers.

a kidnaped boy did not escape because his life was better with the kidnapper. The boy was 11 when he was abducted and probably molested.

I am hearing talk that tShawn Hornbeck going on Oprah could really screw everything up for the trial and that monster Devlin might walk because of the stupid decision to put Shawn Hornbeck on Oprah. Are the HGornbecks selling out Shawn too ? surely they got reparations.
