      <![CDATA[Clarion<br>
<br>
Bruce is not concerned with what is important to a large group of readers, he forges his own agenda.<br>
<br>
Like we are still discussing articles that no-one is overly concerned with, while the most important news for this community is the impending rise of property taxes, the unified school districs budget shortfall and how it will affect the entire county. Now, those are the two most important stories of the day, but, not a peep from Bruce.<br>
<br>
It reminds me of an old, O'Jays Song, " You got to give the people, give the people what they want".<br>
<br>
Me, I don't care whether I garner his wrath or not, if it is wrong, it is wrong!

I noticed you cut off the comments on Henri after 14 comments that were still on topic. Can I ask why without garring your wrath?

Fred Phelps (preacher of the glorious news that God hates Fags, Commies, Weirdos, Hippies, Illegals, Freaks, Malcontents, the Unemployed and Elitist Intellectuals) has it on real good authority that Devil's Lettuce Smokers are going straight to Hell. And they ain't gonna be laying around collecting welfare neither.

Cutting off comment when you feel that it has gone too long is not that smart, actually it shows smallness. You can't stop or determine what people want to post about or think about.
