He did his job. And if this little black professor cannot accept that - then he needs to hire his own 'black' security guards. I know if a cop comes to my house and asks me for my I.D. after I just broke in and my alarm went off - I'm giving it to him.</p><p>My God - if you listen to all of the 'poor blacks' out there - their lot in life hasn't improved any since slavery.</p><p>That race is pushing every other race out there to their limits. They are even pushing a lot of the hard working blacks to their limits.</p><p>Keep it up.</p><p>We are going to start seeing more and more white people standing up yelling, "white power" in retaliation to the black people yelling, "black power" like we did in Paris, Texas yesterday.</p><p>And it's a shame.

Every time a celebrity dies from drug abuse, every one goes after the doctors. And they should, don't get me wrong.</p><p>But what about ALL of the many, many, people that are around them watching their steady, self-inflicted demise? Why are they held to no level of accountability even though they knew of the abuse, knew they were getting drugs from unscrupulous doctors and had multiple false aliases? Are they not just as responsible?</p><p>They might not have written the prescriptions but they still turned a blind eye to their knowledge and the inevitable death of the abuser.</p><p>This even goes for Michael Jackson’s family. They knew. They didn’t stop him. How can they be angry at the doctor’s themselves when they failed so miserably to help? Where they afraid they were going to get cut off from Michael’s money if they intervened? Afraid they would pis$ him off and he wouldn’t support them anymore? Cut out of the will? Isn’t that his family putting a price tag on Michael’s life?</p><p>And it’s the family that is screaming, “Foul” the loudest.</p><p>Where is their responsibility in all of this?</p><p>Just wondering…………..<br></p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 14:36:43 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20132937/detail.html#comment-13121422<p>Smiles....</p><p>Ok, Jen........ has any place been recommended by chance?</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 14:18:29 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20132477/detail.html#comment-13121044<p>"Frank Welch relies on the Murray Hill Library on the Westside to help him find work.

Jacksonville is alread pretty extreme in every thing you mentioned above!</p><p>And it's not just a matter of $97.00. It's a matter of its $97.00 here, $111.00 there, $150.00 here and there - oh and let's not forget that the school board wants to increase taxes again as well.</p><p>And homeowners are getting hurt the worst out of all of this. Tax homeowners! They own a home! They can afford it! No, we can't. Honestly, if you keep making it impossible for your average person to even think about owning a home - how is this economy ever going to recover????</p><p>And this is not including the taxes that are increasing on items we purchase from stores, etc. Oh the rise of cost for the basic staples of ones diet such as bread, milk, eggs.....</p><p>Taxes on gas.............</p><p>We can only give so much. It's almost to the point that working people are paying their first five months of wages into taxes.</p><p>When does it stop?</p><p>Have you heard they are also talking about taxing health insurance benefits? Soda's that have sugar in them?</p><p>They keep taking and taking from the working people and giving and giving to people who don't pay a penny in taxes. They give to the greed of corporate America. They give to the politicians...... They give to everybody but the ones that's actually paying for it.</p><p>One day, working people are going to get really pis$ed off and revolt and I do so long for the day.</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 13:58:21 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20132477/detail.html#comment-13119418<p>Amen Jen.</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 13:32:45 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20132937/detail.html#comment-13118179<p>Now I feel stuff crawling on me................</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 13:03:30 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20132937/detail.html#comment-13118144<p>Ugh.........

I woke up one morning and she had disappeared from her crib. I couldn't find her in the house. My front door was opened, and I looked out - and saw her crossing the road. I lived in the country where people just flew down the road at high speeds, and I lived on a turn. My heart fell and I just started running after her. Some lady came around the corner and almost hit her. The woman got out of her car and helped my daughter get back in the yard, to me. I remember it so well because this woman looked at me like I was a terrible mother. We found doorknob covers after that and wired them around our door knobs for years. That was a terrifying experience.</p><p>Stuff like this happens. You really do need to watch your child every second of the day/night and always hope your one step ahead of them.</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 09:37:26 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20130740/detail.html#comment-13106399<p>Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 09:23:32 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20130740/detail.html#comment-13106387<p>Hey, I'll share my meth if you will share your crack........</p><p>You still ugly though................</p><p>Duntzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.</p>1tracyWed, 22 Jul 2009 09:22:58 -0000http://www.news4jax.com/news/20130740/detail.html#comment-13106160<p>I am southern.
