POZitively! Kentucky Unbridled Spirit...

"Give people a light and they'll follow it anywhere."
Greetings Mr. Connett,
At times I really enjoy the monotony of the rather dated disco playing on your website. However, I would like to turn it off as I am exploring your website. Please Tell how to get it to stop!
Interestingly Funny! Most savvy web-surfers know exactly how to turn it off, LOL! However, I've long received criticism about my sites & the music being dated. Mostly, I just brush it off; partly because there's usually nothing constructive offered and they are exactly what I designed them to be: a talking pictorial narrative of My Journey comprehendable to all ages... To illustrate, here's the rest of the comment:  At the moment I'm more in an Andrew Gerle mood. Perhaps you too might find these songs interesting.

This is what I love about the New Social Media & Marketing; it's a Whisper-Campaign gone viral and a Whisper-Campaign is simply Word-of-Mouth Marketing which is regarded as one of the Best & Least Expensive tactics! Since the majority of the tracks on my sites are not disco or necessarily dated, but present for the lyrics & easy listening I probably won't check out Andre Gerle's offerings...
Paying It Forward, Daily…
“Think of an idea to Change The World,
And put it Into ACTION…”
“I tried real hard, but nothing really happened. I think some people are too scared or something. I think, things could be different. I mean, the World’s not exactly s**t.
I guess it’s hard for some people who are so used to things the way they are, even if they’re BAD, to CHANGE. ‘Cause then they kinda give up. And when they do, everybody kinda loses.
It’s hard, you can’t plan it. You have to watch people more, ya know. Sort of keep an eye on them, to protect them, ‘cause they can’t always see what they need. It’s like your big chance to fix something that’s not like your bike. You can fix a person…”

High hopes for housing in Covington: Mixed-income units designed to appeal to all
The development is near Gateway Community & Technical College's new urban campus and is along transit routes, even within walking distance of Newport and downtown Cincinnati, he noted. So, "you could literally live there without a car, which would be another major savings, as far as just maintenance and insurance," Wolfe-Bertling said.
Despite the large difference in incomes, Wolfe-Bertling said, the units will be so similar that the only way neighbors will be able to tell which income category residents are in is if they tell each other.

BLOODYZBUB: So the first units will be available by Thanksgiving 2012. I bet the first arrest at the new units will be prior to Dec 2012. As a resident of the city, I'm actually pleased to see the new Zoo will be available so quickly. What I can't stop laughing about is the thought of someone actually paying rent with EARNED income at the new housing. Hey, here's an idea, let's make it mandatory for City Commissioners to reside at the new "upscale" housing. There is something terribly wrong with a society that is willing to demolish a housing project that was infested with drug dealers, bed bugs, and welfare champions (MULTI-GENERATIONS) only to turn around and drop over 20 Million dollars and build a brand new one on the same ground for the same parasitic organisms. The approving authority for this construction/expenditure should be absolutely ashamed. Well, what's done is done, might as well go ahead and spend a little more money and tack on a Methadone clinic to the new housing, make it a drive-thru.

astroyo: I don't disagree with you on anything because I too believe that fraud and abuse of the benefits needs to be dealt with. No objection to sorting out the truly needy from those that are taking advantage. It requires manpower and a structure to do so. The point I am making is that while you and others profess to be broadminded in how you relate to others (who agree with you, "common sense of revulsion") from all backgrounds, we also need to be cognizant of the knee-jerk reactions to this problem. There are needs and there are "wants". I agree with you that the benefits should be earned in some way and I don't disagree with the welfare reform that gave people a deadline in which to become employed, however, the recession may have thrown a kink in the system there. (Another reason to support a Jobs Plan.)

As far as the realities being "ugly" they certainly are! I'm horrified by the lack of education and verbal skills that I witness in the streets from average Americans. And that is a judgment based solely on what I see and hear. I'm also upset by conservatives' stereotypical views of "liberals" as sentimental, fiscally-incompetent managers. This is not true as we have seen from the restoration of a budget surplus and cuts to government during the Clinton years. What I am still waiting to hear from all conservatives, is a workable plan on how to get people out "of the system". I have a few ideas on that which would shock Conservatives as well as Liberals but I am not going there on this topic. However, a structure for achieving financial independence should be created that is workable. But to begin there, we must have jobs first.
Meanwhile, I look forward to hearing the solutions that any of you conservatives have as a solution to the social problems of housing. What I hope we stop hearing is the name-calling, the bigotry, and the use of language that tears down a people, stereotypically with biases against them.
