[Vision2020] Good sport? No!

Speaking of pedophiles, Mr. Hicks, when did *you* learn not only that an
adult predator had abused one of our community's *very* young teen girls but
also that a serial predatory pedophile had operated undetected in our
community for 18 months?

According to your pastor, the information was available to you sometime in
late 2005.

If that's the case, I'd like to know what makes you think it proper to
"infiltrate" V2020 now with all your silly sports posts to try to shift
attention away from real issues facing our community after you *chose* to
remain silent while privy to *important* information pertaining to the
safety of our children, information that was withheld from the vast majority
of our community?

Oh . . . wait . . . I see where you admitted on V2020 to being at a 2005 HOH
parish meeting where you were informed.

Then WHAT in God's name is your excuse, Mr. Hicks?

Somehow, I don't think God is going to look too kindly on your strategy of
obfuscation that harms *all* of God's children.  You *knew*, and you said
nothing . . . did nothing . . . to protect our children.  Shame on you, Mr.
Hicks  :-(

May God have mercy on your soul.

Speaking of little men - the draw for Wimbeldon has taken place and it looks
like Federer got a tough one.  My question is:  Is it worth $19.95 to get
all-access to the Wimbeldon action on the interweb?  I was terribly
dissappointed that I didn't get to watch any of the French Open and I have a
feeling that Wimbeldon might be Lleyton's chance to dethrone Nadal, which
would make my month!  

This is a serious question, I hope this isn't misconstrued as some sort of
ploy to distract from Jackie's brilliant and very important concerns about
the safety of downtowners from all of the drunk fundy-pedophiles that'll be
flooding downtown in a month, or especially from her valuable facial-hair
commentary.

	Look, little man - I was bringing up concerns that I felt needed to
be

the big 
	game?  Or better yet, why don't you go clean out your beard.......it
looks
	more like a food-catch-all than a facial feature to be proud of.

	You are not funny and you certainly do not have this community's
interest in 
	mind when you post this kind of clap-trap.

	Gabe has made some major errors while being the "security
coordinator" for
	this event.  The concerns of the people involved have been and
apparently
	will continue to be ignored by him and the rest of the "gang".  This
does 
	NOT speak well for your organization nor for the "christian" way you
are
	supposed to be operating.

	He has less than one month and a few days before this thing
goes...he has
	YET to even contact the businesses in the CBD, much less
"coordinate" 
	anything that would relay any sense of confidence to the community
regarding
	it.

	I felt his presentation and affect during his talk on Monday as well
as
	other times he has come before a City Committee, was totally
unprofessional, 
	did NOT come across as being confident and lacked a great deal of
	information that could have prevented ANYone from asking questions
or at
	least fewer ones.  I don't see why this type of permit, which
effects all of 
	us TAX PAYING citizens can not be brought before the public and our
input be
	listened to.  You don't agree with that - fine.

	Don't accuse me of something you have NO knowledge of nor has any
basis of
	fact to back it up.  You don't even know me.  (Yes, I know - that
has never 
	stopped you people from being stupid before.)

	Now, I am sure there must be something on ESPN you could be
	watching.......................
