WRCB reports that Chattanooga STARS will be hosting a party and concert for "at risk youth".
I wonder who :cough: fathomed :cough: up this idea?

Good one, JC...
It all returns to the destruction of the family and resulting neighborhoods. Growing up, our social controls were participatory and voluntary. If we wanted to belong, we played with the neighborhood kids and competed naturally to determine our place in the scheme of things, testing our strengths and weaknesses against each other.
The government seeks to replace this natural order, destroyed by popular media and weakened institutions, with "programs". The only problem is the government wants EQUAL OUTCOMES in place of competition and equal OPPORTUNITY, a utopia where there is no failure, and the successful exist to underwrite and fund the rest.
I'd be interested in knowing who the 'talent' will be for this auspicious event.

Death? Anyone? Thread needs naky pics?
Figured this would be a popular thread considering how debated the Club Fathom fiasco was.
Entertaining "at risk youth" is a-ok for the city but not for a preacher? Bueller?

Everybody wants candy, JC.
Easier to get "likes" on your Facebook account for talking about your poodle's flatulence.

How true. In contrast, I "like" your choice of an avatar, Tsavo. There are probably many John O'Neills in and out of government whose grasp of unpalatable truths invites retribution, not the attention they deserve. Mr. O'Neill's death was the cruelest of ironies.

Nothing promotes strong families and community like a Fifty Cent rap.
