<description>... which begs the question - If what you say is true, then Why did the police have to shoot 8 of them in the last 2 years?  </description>

<description>&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Just in the last two years, there have been eight police shootings involving people who are mentally ill.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; Well .. As we all well know, The Police would Not shoot anyone who wasn&amp;#039;t presenting an imminent threat to them. So, What are we to glean from this new project .. Send a social worker to interface with those imminent threats, and end up with 8 dead social workers?? &amp;#039;They&amp;#039; might want to rethink this a little??? &lt;ul&gt; Dear kindly social worker. They say go earn a buck, Like be a soda jerker, Which means like be a schmuck. It&amp;#039;s not I&amp;#039;m anti-social, I&amp;#039;m only anti-work, Glory Osky, that&amp;#039;s why I&amp;#039;m a jerk!  Eek! Officer Krupke, you&amp;#039;ve done it again. This boy don&amp;#039;t need a job, he needs a year in the pen. It ain&amp;#039;t just a question of misunderstood; Deep down inside him, he&amp;#039;s no good!  I&amp;#039;m no good!  We&amp;#039;re no good, we&amp;#039;re no good, We&amp;#039;re no earthly good, Like the best of us is no damn good!&lt;/ul&gt; </description>

<title>KATU - Portland, OR : Charlotte Church: Press destroyed my career | Entertainment News | KATU.com - Portland News, Sports,</title>
<link>http://www.katu.com/news/entertainment/Charlotte-Church-Press-destroyed-my-career-134602953.html?ref=guiltypleasures#IDComment230417166</link>
<description>One day - a number of years ago - I was in a store, and the background music caught my attention .. I asked what it was and was told it was a British kid singer named Charlotte Church, I lingered for a while, &lt;strong&gt;Totally captivated by &amp;#039;that voice&amp;#039;&lt;/strong&gt;.   I have since acquired Most of her early music, and listen to it often. Truly one of my Favorite young artists!    As is most often the case, her later &amp;#039;stuff&amp;#039; moved in a direction that was not -  in my opinion, and for my taste - her best move .. But given the times we live in, not unexpected :-(  I am sorry to hear how her career has gone - She was a Great talent.    Oh Well .. Regardless of what has transpired, She still left her mark. </description>

<description>So .. You are applauding the civil rights movement ? &lt;em&gt;(No caps deliberate)&lt;/em&gt;    Looking at what it spawned - the age of entitlement and the degradation of almost every area of Our Society in the last 40 years, as well as other societally destructive &amp;#039;movements&amp;#039;, &lt;strong&gt;I am not sure that it was a good thing at all&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;(and remember, I was Actively in the middle of the whole thing)&lt;/em&gt;    The Dream was just that - a dream .. a misguided fantasy .. never meant to come to fruition.    &lt;em&gt;... and, we won&amp;#039;t even get in to how Very flawed and dangerous the dreamer was.&lt;/em&gt; </description>
