What took you so long?
Elizabeth Harmer-Dionne, said, "For years, whenever I attended Monday night meetings of the Cambridge City Council, a gentleman quietly sat in the back of the Sullivan Chamber. A worn cardboard placard hung from his neck by a piece of twine, bearing the slogan 'Impeach Healy.' I regarded him with patronizing good-humor, grateful for the local eccentrics who add color to Cambridge.
It turns out that Mr. Placard understood more than I."
The sign, my sign, read "Overthrow Healy Rossi." Richard Rossi is the deputy City Manager. The City Manager cannot be impeached. He was not elected. He is an appointee of the City Council.

Not Just Politicians Are Corrupt
Far too much focus on corruption of politicians. More scrutiny is needed of the corrupt voters and the corrupt journalists and comedians who support and defend the elected criminal class. If the problem were only corrupt politicians it would be manageable.

The flaw in the legal system is that corrupt public officials are not held accountable for their malfeasance and negligence. Taxpayers are cheated twice. First for the salaries of the criminal officials and again when they must pay for the harms to others by the official misconduct.

Email is Accessible to Anyone
The email providers have no legal scruples. One corrupt employee can tamper with an account copying whatever. The FBI has software which can be installed to send a copy of all emails to them, and to copy all keystrokes. FBI agents murdered innocents. What's a little email tampering to them? On my YouTube account someone put a picture purporting to be me in my profile; and an ad with my name pretending to me. The internet companies like the phone companies before them need to screen their employees and scrutinize their behavior better.

A Wasted Low Esteem Life
Very surprising that Christian was even prosecuted. DA's tell me that they are too busy with murder prosecutions to deal with lesser crimes. This was only a kidnapping and assault. He was found not guilty of giving a fake name to police. He fooled his wife for 12 years then fooled twelve jurors for a few days. What a great deceiver. He would make a wonderful politician, lawyer, judge and spy. He wasted his life for chump change. Think Obama, Kerry, Cadillac Deval. That's deception with upper class financial elan.

Emotions Rule Journalism?
Misguided priorities again. 90,000 Americans die each year due to medical negligence some as simple as doctors not washing their hands between patients. Why the focus on a negligible number of deaths by older drivers? Gelzinis never lets facts get in the way of his emotions. He tells us his father was a very careful driver. Then he says that older drivers need to have their licenses pulled. Huh? Why not test the bad drivers and and encourage the good drivers like his father? Poor or no logic in this column.

Diversity Leads to Mistrust
"A bleak picture of the corrosive effects of ethnic diversity has been revealed in research by Harvard University's Robert Putnam, one of the world's most influential political scientists. His research shows that the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone -- from their next-door neighbor to the mayor."
"In the presence of diversity, we hunker down," said Putnam. "We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it's not just that we don't trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don't trust people who do look like us."
"Professor Putnam," said the Financial Times, "found trust was lowest in Los Angeles, 'the most diverse human habitation in human history.'"

No Forest, Only Trees
Teenagers in 2009 believe that there were always iPods, MP3s, wireless internet, automobiles, telephones, airplanes, television, and radio. Do young journalists in Boston believe there always was a one-party state government and that is normal? Do students get through journalism school without learning the basics of a functioning democracy, allowing them to mislead their readers?
Bernstein goes from the sublime ("Roast pork," Boston Phoenix, May 27, 2009) to the ridiculous with his fundamentally flawed article. (DAVID S. BERNSTEIN, "Mass betrayal," Boston Phoenix, June 19, 2009) He creates a fantasy of liberal reformers versus anti reform (corrupt?) traditionalists in the MA legislature. He contrasts those opposing change with those who try to change. But change in this screen is no change at all. The legislature remains a one-party system. Even if the "liberal reformers" gain control they will become the pigs in Animal Farm continuing corrupt one party rule.
State reps say there is a need for systemic and cultural change. Not at all. What is needed is an opposition party. For Bernstein liberal reformers are incorruptible, there is no need for a two-party system because Democrats are angels. Republicans are mentioned once in a negative context as if criticizing the opposition was dirty politics. How many times a day does Obama blame Bush for his "inheritance?"
Saying "an eight-year limit on the Speaker's term [. . .] limits consolidation of power." is nonsense. With one-party rule there is no limit on the abuses of that party. He says DeLeo gives "[reps] the freedom to act independently." Oh? Then it's not the lack of a spine that prevents that? Does DeLeo issue spines to these members?
Is Bernstein clueless in his vision of state government? He writes as if trying to keep Noam Chomsky's "herd bewildered." What part of one-party state does he not understand? Cosmetics will not suffice. A strong opposition party is the solution. Journalists who support democracy can inspire citizens to create one.
In a companion piece (ADAM REILLY, "Weakened watchdogs," Boston Phoenix,
June 19, 2009) Adam Reilly asks "If the Globe shrinks, will Beacon Hill run amok?" The answer is only if journalists let them. Reilly values quantity over quality. In New York state Fred Dicker exposed more malfeasance than other reporters assigned to the capital. The Albany Times Union, the Albany County DA, and the state Public Integrity Commission helped former Gov. Spitzer's staff cover up malfeasance and abuses of power.
Boston has a different problem -- the blind leading the blind. Reilly is a media critic on a PBS show yet fails to recognize or to report the dangers of one-party government. Hello? David Letterman continues to bash Gov. Sarah Palin and her family. The election ended 7 months ago. Plenty of new clowns in DC but he is as blind to them as Reilly and Bernstein are blind to the source of the corruption.
Boston journalists fail to focus on exposing corruption. Instead readers get political styles coverage and analysis. The focus is on public officials not on voters who elect them. Many MA voters (and journalists?) support corrupt government and knowingly re-elect corrupt officials. Outraged voters who read trying to keep informed are being cheated by journalists.

Homosexuals: Politicians Lied! Shocking!!!
The homosexual lobby reveals how it gets its way, by buying off politicians. They purchased the MA legislature to deny MA citizens the right to vote on a citizen initiative. They thwart the will of the people through the judiciary and corrupt politicians in several states. Why don't homosexuals support voting on what marriage is? They lose every time citizens exercise their right to vote. Homosexuals demand their rights and deny rights to others. They call critics haters. They are the most intolerant special interest group, corrupting democratic institutions. They are surprised that Biden took their money and ignores them? Did they expect politicians to stay bought? They played the corrupt system and now they are getting burned. Boo Hoo. BORING!

Youth Seek Sex Not Love
[Final paragraph of article]
NPR failed to answer the big questions behind this story: What happened in society that makes young adults afraid to trust each other with their emotions? What changed so that getting busy with a random person is now more favorable than looking for a person to build and share a life? Is this simply a way of avoiding the responsibilities of adulthood?
[Answer]
The greatest harm results from good intentions. Psychiatrists demonize emotions, and made them into mental illnesses. Depression a common human experience not mental illness. Hate is targeted for elimination by non profit corporations. Government appropriates grants to eliminate hate and racism. In order to succeed humans must be eliminated. Along with humans come a full set of emotions. They are neither good nor bad, but as Plato suggested must be recognized, understood and controlled. Psychiatrists claim superior knowledge about what is best and teach that emotions are bad. They manipulate humans emotionally for control and for profit. Is the growth of psychiatry in any way connected to the fear of youth to experience emotions?

Role of Fathers
"one third of American children live without any father and that, in many inner cities, the out-of-wedlock birth rate exceeds seventy percent. Also well known, though rarely acknowledged, is the devastation that such a lack of paternity has wreaked on children and society more generally. Fatherless children have rates of incarceration, criminal activity, possession of firearms, poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, incompletion of school, and overall parental neglect and maltreatment alarmingly higher than their two-parent counterparts."
[. . .]
"horse farmer and communitarian author Wendell Berry observes, marriage--like friendships, families, and neighborhoods--'is a form of bondage, and involved in our humanity is always the wish to escape. . . . But involved in our humanity also is the warning that we can escape only into loneliness and meaninglessness.'"
