Being new to this newsgroup, I have made several key observations:
1.) some individuals BS through everything in their posts including
their spelling of the english language.
2.) some posts are just ridiculous
3.) their is some very factual and informative information being posted
anonymously which may not sound good.  But one has to remember, the
messenger delivers that message good or bad!  These posts are quite
factual if one takes the time to research the relevant facts.

Personally, I want to know what is wrong, since hiding it ... or behind
it, would be a travesty! Knowing of terrible and unscrupulous activity
by criminals or politicians helps us to protect ourselves so that we do
not become victims!  This allows us to make appropriate changes in our
path if necessary!  It also allows us to force change and correct the
wrongs perpetrated on the innocent!

Anyone who looks through rose-colored glasses
and ignores the truth of a factual message will
always be taking two steps back for every step forward!  Those who
attack a factual message whether good or bad should be viewed with
suspicion!  I don't always like what I hear ... but thank God I have
the facts to make an appropriate choice!  Again, look for the facts!
Is it true or not!

I say, don't judge the messenger, their just the messenger!  Actually,
one should thank them since they have provided you with factual
information to adjust your life as needed.  Maybe you will not become a
victim of crime if your watching your back more often ... maybe your
awareness has already paid off ... if not tomorrow!

It's always easy to dismiss the truth when one chooses not to deal with
it.  Acting as a victim or accusing racism just doesn't cut it!

One needn't even take my viewpoint just look at the facts ... they
speak for themselves.  Additionally, I would be more suspicious of the
television stations, radio stations, newspapers in the Baltimore area
that do not even report or track one of the highest murder rates in the
nation!

You decide!  It's your choice!  Frankly, I'm glad
there are individuals that do provide the truth!
It's relaxing with so much lying that goes on in
the public arena!  Personally, the media should be ashamed for their
avoidence of such topics!  Makes you wonder what else they didn't tell
you! I would think their credibility continues to diminish with such
activity!

If you don't like the message ... DON'T blame the messenger ... BLAME
the source of the problem ... the individuals in the drivers seat!

Remember, in communist countries the masses roam  the streets opressed
by all groups who have the ability to control their information intake,
thus, their thoughts!

Truly judge, before condemning, since the alternative is quite grim.
Usually the biggest problem is admitting that their is a problem!

Maybe you know of government corruption or solutions to problems!  If
one stays quiet nothing would ever get done!  Thus, air the facts, your
grievences, and uncover the real truth ... its what forces change!
Otherwise, we all become criminals and victims!  God forbid!
