[StBernard] The looters and intruders

[Westley Annis]

Hey Jer:

You are excellent at pointing out problems with the status quo.  Does
your brain possess the side of individual creative thinking?  That's the
side that not only identifies the problem, but also analyzes it, and
most importantly offers imaginative solutions to the very problems that
it sees exists.  It takes nothing but a voyeur to sit, watch (and
criticize) but it takes a free thinker to come up with creative
solutions that try to please everyone.  

For the sake of the rest of us, please stop just criticizing (I'm sure
it's out of frustration) and start offering some solutions (that's a
part of dialogue and conversation or debate -- the exchange of ideas)
instead of only demanding solutions from those that you may or may not
have helped vote into power.

The right of free speech is one of the greatest gifts of all.  It allows
us to speak out against what we view as the injustices of the world.
But, coupled with individual freedom, it allows the thinking mind to
offer different and fresh ideas on how to improve our little corner of
the world.  

That's what makes this the greatest place in the world to live.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix things instead of just demanding
that they be fixed?  Let's hear them.

Keep the faith,

Jim

Remember the cop's initiative:

"To serve and protect".

If this is not accomplished, let's ask the Sheriff's department why not?

If They claim they have no resources of men and women, money, etc. Let's
ask
the Parish government: "Why can't we be served and protected by our law
enforcement?"

If the answer to this is: "Because we're strapped finacially, either
through
a tax-base that's evaporated like hot water on a 100 degree day", then
we
ask:

"Where do we get the money?"

If this cannot be answered to a proper discourse, we inititate the
following
responses:

"Why then, do we need you to take care of us?" The answer might be:
"It's
not worth the $600 a month", or "They don't pay me enough for all this
*cra&!* " Or "I'm not running in next election, because I'm now a "lame
duck" and lame ducks "let things happen" .

So, back to the original question. "If the Sheriff's office is not
protecting us and our property, then why not?" (and if the local parish
government has any imput or power in politics, then why isn't it a
catalyst
to correct a problem that is plaguing us all?

Jer.

What happened to all the St. Bernard cops? AND if they are in the
parish,
what are they doing? This is sad.
