RE: ex con

We have a general concern about how safe we are in our society.

It was reported at one time that there were 36 serial killers loose at any one time in America.

Another law enforcement person told me it was the disorganized crime that kept them busier than the organized crime.

Most violent crime is perpetrated by young males between the ages of 16 and 25 - although women are gaining more in this field - thanks to equality.

Life is a lot more uncertain that we know. Is it better to know your neighbor just got out of prison? or not know and go about your daily life.

Experts also suggest that some criminal are not redeemable.

RE: Which Payments should be cut to save money and what shouldnt be touched

It seems to me that everyone is against the public servant lately - and it causes me to want to rant! Public service is all about people including middle management. Taxes pay for service - service is people not things. The governments don't make wigets. They build and maintain the infrastructure, keep the lights on, care for those in hospitals, clean the hospitals, clean the streets, fill the public libraries, ensure that businesses and the citizens comply with the laws. It is better to pay people to provide service to their country and to others than to give them welfare and tax cuts. Public servants upper management also have to plan how to use our tax money to the most advantageous - that takes planning.

The argument was always that in economic good times private paid good money for well-skilled workers and only the losers who couldn't work in the real life got jobs in public service. That is simply not true - public services are no more or less skilled than those in private enterprise.

The myth continues on today. So now when economic times are bad, those that chose the less pay of public service with the understanding that long service would provide reasonable work conditions and retirement benefits at the end - and you couldnot be fired because the boss needed to give your job to his in- laws - you could always be fired in public service for just cause.

Now the public shouts with the same crap - public services don't deserve the pay and benefits they're getting because they wouldn't get it if it were in the real world.

RE: To be truly happy in a marriage do you have to be willing to overlook/forgive indiscretions occasion

I like this - except the forget part - and I am not sure I want a mature relationship I just want a true trusting relationship - so how would get the trust back?

RE: To be truly happy in a marriage do you have to be willing to overlook/forgive indiscretions occasion

Absolutely - as I stand here now - I would say there is no way I would put up with a cheating man..... of course...... it is a theory since I am not in a relationship now.... it is easy to imagine what we would or would not do -

So that was really my point - it is just a what we think - not what we feel -

unconditional love comes without reason - it doesn't pick and choose as to children (they grow up) or pets (even good dogs can bite)

Unconditional love comes from within ourselves and we have no control over it - and while we as individuals might not forgive the people we know right now in our lives - there are those couples out there that have, and do and forgive each other.

I respect your point of view - and I have had those feelings when I was betrayed - the question would be

if my cheating ex asked me for forgiveness and truly meant it - where would my relationship be now? but he didn't

RE: What`s going on in Anaheim

I understand you have "an agenda" to push - however this isn't about anarchy -

California has high number of gangs, gang violence, police violence in order to control the crowds and a media that loves to stir up more action for the news..... there are no hidden agendas...

There is no justice in a peaceful protest - justice must be served in a court of law NOT on the american streets

RE: To be truly happy in a marriage do you have to be willing to overlook/forgive indiscretions occasion

While I agree in the principal the cheating is bad - relationships do not happen in a vacuum - and forgiveness is just as possible

We humans are just that - human - we make mistakes -
In a Long lasting, unconditional love relationship -depending on the people involved they may experience cheating - and this might also include the ability and the need to forgive -

In my opinion Never say never!

RE: What`s going on in Anaheim

Nine people were arrested Sunday during protests over recent fatal officer-involved shootings in Anaheim.

The protest took a dramatic turn when the crowd began marching en masse on Harbor Boulevard, saying they were headed to Disneyland. But police in riot gear corralled them, and many returned to police headquarters.

The demonstration stretched long into the afternoon, with more than 200 protesters initially chanting in front of police headquarters and taking over a parking lot where they drew chalk outlines of bodies and wrote messages condemning the police.

Organizers hoped the demonstration would remain peaceful in order to avoid a repeat of Tuesday's events. In that night's mass protest, police used non-lethal rounds to disperse a crowd of about 1,000 who marched through the streets after a packed City Council meeting. Some protesters threw rocks, bricks and other objects at officers and started fires in trash bins. By Tuesday night's end, authorities said, 24 protesters had been arrested, 20 buildings damaged and seven people injured.

"We don't want to see another Tuesday night," said George Olivio, an organizer with Occupy Orange County.Family members of those killed in officer-involved shootings implored demonstrators Sunday not to escalate the tension.

"I'm not asking, I'm demanding," Theresa Smith, 65, told those assembled through a megaphone. She said her 35-year-old son Caesar Cruz was fatally shot by Anaheim police in 2009.

This month, police fatally shot two men in Anaheim: Manuel Diaz on July 21 and Joel Acevedo the next day. Authorities said that Diaz, 25, who was unarmed, was avoiding arrest and that Acevedo, 21, had fired at officers during a foot chase.
And the officer-involved shooting Friday — police opened fire on a burglary suspect, who was unhurt — was the city's seventh such shooting this year, five of which have been fatal. The city had four officer-involved shootings in 2011.

Hundreds of community members attended a vigil for Diaz on Sunday evening at a makeshift memorial near the scene of his shooting.

In front of police headquarters earlier, Smith, wearing a T-shirt reading "In loving memory of my son," acknowledged that the community remains outraged after the recent clashes with police, but she said that acting out on that anger would only hurt the demonstrators' cause. "But it's their anger," she added, "and I understand the years of frustration.... I don't condone it, but I understand it."

Soon after the protest began, demonstrators congregated on the sidewalk just yards from the front entrance of police headquarters. The crowd chanted: "The whole system is guilty" and "Am I next?," touching on a sense of stewing ethnic and class divisions in the city.Although they were angry, they did not use violence to express it.
