Man is the only animal on the planet that acts cruel. I don't think the other animals in the forest kill for fun, money, love, lust, mad, 'dis or whatever.

Can't think of another species that would do such a thing.

I admire your restraint in calling those miscreants "humans'.

Or, it may be that we fought a bloody Civil War over the slavery of 150 years ago while modern day slavery poses no such risk.

Or, it may be that we pay taxes to support a number of police officers whose duty it is to catch and punish the miscreants and trust them to do their job.

Or, it may be that the average citizen cannot arm themselves, take the law into their own hands, and punish the evil doers, and therefore there is little else they can do.

Or, it also may be that the vast majority of people have no idea that this sort of crime exists.

Perhaps we can nail this down.

The TVs tend to be a fun crowd (gay and straight) while the TSs are real serious, mostly, and considering what they have in mind, you figure they would be.

Gee, you guys might cut Nathan Bedford Forrest some of the "personal growth" slack, too.

I have to admit that us confirmed heterosexuals just do not understand the drag queen phenomenon.

We had a young fellow at work decide he was he wrong gender and he started the painful process of converting himself into a woman.

He was a right nice looking as a young man. But the ugliest woman you ever saw.

Never did understand what he wanted to accomplish, but then, it was not my call.

You could not be more accurate.

One other thing, too. It is more that just a growing acceptance that the municpals are going to form and have a right to do so.

There are several members among the Elected Seven who are very genuine in their desire to improve education in Shelby County regardless of whether, in Tomeka 's words,"there are one or fifty school districts".

These are not career politicians, or those with political ambitions.

Apparently, Judge Mays does not know that his role in the merger is finished July 1st.

He said last a couple of weeks ago he might wait until September 1st to make a decisison on the expansion of the Shelby County School Board.

You better help and send him a note telling him he is finished with any oversight July 1st, because he does not realize that.

i don't understand your point about any person being elected by all the citizens. Aren't the City Council and the SCC elected by districts?

I am not saying that Ritz and whoever were not elected by the people, but they were only elected by the voters of their district, not by the combined votes of all of the citizens.

It is also an established fact that anything done by a previous legislative body can be repealed, modified, etc. That is the beauty of this wonderful democratic republic. As the late Robert Byrd said ," This body will not be ruled by the dead hand of the past."

ArlingtonPop or maybe it was Diogenes, a publicly elected official can't be held personally liable for the cost of lawsuits, when acting in their official capacity.
