To be honest, I don't see how more people don't.<BR/><BR/>I pay the same for my education that everyone else in Pennsylvania does. I was born in PA, went to h.s. in NEPA, and that which my G.I. Bill has not paid for, I have covered with student loans. Which I have to pay back - no choice there.<BR/><BR/>I would rather not be in the paper or portrayed anywhere else; I have repeatedly said it is about the issues, not me.<BR/><BR/>I just so happens that I am bringing attention to the egregious behavior of elected officials, so the media uses my 'mug' to sell papers.<BR/><BR/>One correct statement (sort of) - I will probably leave when (in May, not 'if') I am conferred a degree - just like 85% of the other college grads from this area.<BR/><BR/>peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-67911149844366901342008-02-23T12:24:00.000-05:002008-02-23T12:24:00.000-05:00Maybe they put this ordinance into effect expectin...Maybe they put this ordinance into effect expecting some of the big names to come to the Kirby Center. Hillary, Obama or Mccain? Remember how many protesters there were when John Kerry was there? I distinctly remember someone driving a truck around Public Square with pictures of partially aborted fetuses on it when I was 7 or 8 months pregnant with Gabby. It was in poor taste. That was something I didn't need to see being as pregnant as I was. I did not choose abortion, so why do I need to see the pics. It was upsetting to say the least.Michelle HDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884240205475069250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-6910769934495798752008-02-23T05:13:00.000-05:002008-02-23T05:13:00.000-05:00He's a hurdler alright...he puts them up.He's 33 s...He's a hurdler alright...he puts them up.<BR/><BR/>He's 33 still in school...if you reside in PA you get a BIG discount on state funded schools as a "resident". Perhaps not exactly stealing like he likes to say everyone in the government is doing, but just as close.<BR/><BR/>Something happened to Timmy somewhere along the line that he is very angry at the government and started to lose it over the past few years.<BR/><BR/>Not sure what might have happened in the military, but he came back with an awfully big chip on his shoulder.<BR/><BR/>And he is from Lawton, OK.<BR/><BR/>All of what Timmy gets involved in always goes beyond the issue and it's becomes all about Timmy getting he mug in the paper or a flashy quote in the paper in a place like Wilkes Barre where they are eager to place it there.<BR/><BR/>He could care less about that little city in PA, he'll be gone if and when he's conferred a degree from Penn State.<BR/><BR/>For me...on the issue of the W-B and the fee...it's flat out wrong. Period. I can understand the US Secret Service likes to have a bit more structure in a place like W-B for not only the safety of candidates but also for the safety of those who wish to exercise the right to free speech. I think any group over 25 in a small city should file paperwork at no charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-67685867133838214352008-02-22T19:33:00.000-05:002008-02-22T19:33:00.000-05:00While I don't normally give any credence to anonym...While I don't normally give any credence to anonymous comments made in ALL CAPS, I may as well ask: you got any evidence for any of those statements?<BR/><BR/>- From Lawton, Oklahoma?<BR/>- Transient protestor passing through several small PA towns?<BR/>- Looking for a free education?<BR/><BR/>I have uncovered some evidence that Tim Grier is a Freshman from Nebraska who in 2007 posted a time of 52.60 seconds in the Men's 400 Meter Hurdles...D.B.

A few candlelight vigils on the square about the Iraq war, people at the courthouse upset with the commissioners over the latest outrage or a couple of cranks acting up at a parade. I think the city has more pressing problems than trying to regulate the people's right to assemble.Gorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353409316468830796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-86288197237119990582008-02-18T13:00:00.000-05:002008-02-18T13:00:00.000-05:00I love how our right just seem to be eroding away....I love how our right just seem to be eroding away.whimsical brainpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158339502955458999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-79611137307988093822008-02-18T00:17:00.000-05:002008-02-18T00:17:00.000-05:00...maybe they'll be like the Bush administration a......maybe they'll be like the Bush administration and say, "We're doing this because we love you...and we don't want you to get hurt!
