Imagine being so simple-minded that when you make a statement it could always be the same one-liner, always have a convenient demon, always cast yourself as wise, and never really say anything.

OGD -- Some of those folks who read Mrbobo's posts about the black colleges might want to kick his patoot and pitch him over into the weeds to think about it .
So in a self-fulfilling prophesy way he might be right.

And I am agreeing with the general sentiment Bobo that when you are making that particular claim you should do it in a sentence with proper punctuation and grammar.
If'un you don't write such a statement purfict, you 'peer even mo like one of doze racists who could say a million tings but just had to say something nasty bout black folks -- cuz uzing proper grammer or capitalization obviously ain't a big deal to you.

Enkik found the perfect story to highlight his oft-repeated observation.
Why do you think the funds are handled that way, Marty?

I personally am surprised that Kroger spent so much time around an institute of higher larnin'.
And who would a figured he was a government worker for so long? Eatin' at the trough like those deadheads he complains about?
Not trying to be nasty. It's a little ironic being that he is such an ideologue.

Now OGD you got to admit that aside from a few counties, it is southern conservative ethic that has ruled Mississippi for a very long time. In fact we are about as conservative as they come. And Haley is just the present incarnation.
I would say that our track record has to do with how we have handled our 'po folks, and how well they have responded to the conservative challenges to get off they asses and pull themselves up by they bootstraps.
In fact most of the nation doesn't think we can do excellent. We are too conservative and change is not something we are very good at.

Well shut my mouf, it's only a woman's college and some black schools he is talking about merging.
If we have 2 less black school administrations and one less woman's school administration what's the problem?
It sounds like a good old fashioned Southern white male conservative solution to budget woes. I am sure he has no disregard for the purpose or staffs of these institutions, and innocently feels that their needs could be handled with a fraction of the employees.
(my faux approval of this action is a sarcastic acknowledgment of the scrutiny he faces doing this in Mississippi. I don't doubt the budget needs cutting.)

I think Chuck Mayfield is a tried and proven quantity and he better knows what he can do, what he can't do, and what he should do to get the community behind him. Here is an example.
On the raybrown4sheriff website among the obvious desirable policies of acquiring grants, teaching folks etc, Mr. Brown mentions two things that make me wonder about his experience.
"Zero tolerance drug policy" is one of them. Does that mean every little user or loser gets the attention, time and money of the sheriff's department? Or did that just sound good? Most folks realize that a sheriff's department needs to apply their efforts carefully and spend their resources wisely and for most folks the hardened criminal element gets the special attention. The idea of zero tolerance -- no matter how good it sounds -- becomes a luxury they cannot afford and would not want.
"Initiate traffic stops for drug interdiction" - is another statement Mr. Brown made on the website. In this tourist town with a history of racial strife and abuses, I wondered again exactly what he meant by his statement.
I am under the impression that whenever an officer is presented with probable cause that he is free to execute the procedure that could lead to seizures, and that officers use that tactic already. Is Mr. Brown suggesting that people -- those who do not yet show cause -- be increasingly stopped or traffic be increasingly roadblocked in order to specifically see if they can find probable cause?
Even though roadblocks and traffic stops are an essential tool for law enforcement, I don't think that increased reliance on that as a policy would do well in a tourist town like ours.
If you stop people based on their look a certain amount of profiling is usually necessary -- the black community certainly has been the victim of that policy in this country. If you stop everybody in frequent road blocks then the entire community is inconvenienced and for many citizens it is somewhere between inefficient and maddening. It just sounded to me as though Mr. Brown either had not thought out the implications of these methods or could not resist the wish to appear tough and was willing to say what he said. I am sure he is a good man and is well-meaning, but he appeared unseasoned in making such statements.
In addition to patrols, a sheriff's department is empowered with the resources to develop leads through traditional investigative methods that target criminals and leave the community to take care of business otherwise. I think most citizens favor this style of law enforcement as it is efficient and constitutionally sound.
Chuck Mayfield has tremendous experience in this type of law enforcement, and so one of the major thrusts listed on his website is to instruct his deputies to treat the citizens of this county with dignity and respect. I think we can come much closer to prospering as a community with Mayfield as sheriff.

LOVESNATCHEZ let me respectfully suggest that you already largely pay for the health care of many without insurance.
Every person that gets care but doesn't pay for it -- well his bill is a big reason why your insurance and the hospital cost so much today.
If you want to be successful -- without health care reform -- at eliminating the costs of those people your best bet is to lobby for doctors to break their Hippocratic oath, let sick people without money stay sick and keep them out of hospitals so they can die without running up a bill.

Yea. A government worker -- huh?
If you work somewhere for 10 years there has got to be a payoff for you, and for most folks there is some compatibility with the folks you run into.
Me, if I don't like what I see I would be out of there in a month.
