Don't come around here with facts or legitimate observations trying to pass it off as the truth. We deal with falsehoods and hyperbole. We don't need anyone trying to muddy the water with actual first hand experience.

A little music from the Foxpro overlaid with some .223 fire. Coyote problem solved. Or we can let the politicians spend tens of thousands of dollars and not get any results.

The unfortunate truth is our political ranks are full of unscrupulous clowns like this. And before anyone thinks I am picking on the Republicans, it is pervasive among both the Republicans AND the Democrats. It is no wonder this country is in such a mess. Let's hope whoever replaces puts higher value on values.

You see new businesses moving in to an area and making some good money, you move on them and strong arm them for a cut of the profits. It is a story as old as time itself. Any group in Portland not being "street taxed" in one way or another stand by. You are next.

Jeez." Actually it should end for the elected members too, by both sides. I can't say the left or the right is without fault when it comes to this. I keep waiting for one side to conduct themselves as adults. I think I still have a bit of waiting to do. The truth of the matter is that our politicians are so busy trying to appease every group that will bring a few votes that our country is going to continue to suffer under BOTH parties.

Oh wait, they already do that.

Just take a look at all of the businesses that fail. The wall street debacle requiring a bailout is another example. There really is no substitute for good old fashioned common sense. In my opinion if I am going to some location to stay for a few days I am checking prices! I might stay in an adjacent town if it is a whole lot cheaper.

Most of them would not come to your rescue because they would be busy ensuring they survive the situation themselves. Everyone is responsible for their OWN safety. Those that are not willing to take steps to protect themselves can wait for the cops.

There is a core group of people running through this country that are not afraid to stand up and do a tough job. To do this job one must possess qualities such as honor, integrity, and character. These are the kind of people that are not afraid of striving for excellence at a difficult job. They are the kind of people that possess qualities that places them above many of their peers. They are willing to take on dangerous duties often risking life and limb. They do it not for the President, some General, or even because they believe in the job they are doing at the time. They do it because they place a high value on a little thing called DUTY. The benefactors of this are people like you and me. You may not agree with the mission they perform, however you owe them gratitude for the sacrifices they make for all of us.

"To manage that and to actually go out and work each of these cases would be an insurmountable task," he said. He forgot to add "So instead we are going to do seat belt enforcement" I think if the brass at the PPB was to put a full court press on real crime we would all be surprised at the results. We should not let what is admittedly a limited resource (street officers) go to waste on menial tasks while violent crime falls under the category of "insurmountable task" Tue, 22 May 2012 13:30:32 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/problemsolver/Online-prostitution-sites-using-sex-menus-152386565.html#IDComment365016039 http://www.katu.com/politics/Cartlandia-food-cart-portland-lawsuit-OLCC-151485765.html?clmob=y#IDComment360837226 The city government in Portland HATE it when they don't get their way. After all they know what we really need, and our desires should not get in the way of them telling us what that is, and then forcing it down our throats. People should drive out on 82nd and check out Cartlandia. There is no way that a few food carts selling a few beers is going to drag that area any lower. Lets also remember that there are several dive bars just a stones throw away. This is about control and only control. NOW GET BACK IN YOUR BOX AND GIVE US OUR TAX MONEY!!!
