Speaking of pedophiles, Mr. James, 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. James?

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.
James  :-(

May God have mercy on your soul.

Larson,

Is that $19.95 for LIVE access? If that's the case, it would certainly be
worth it.

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.

bringing up concerns that I felt needed to be aired. If you don't have
anything valid or contributory to offer, why don't you just sit down on the
big couch in front of the big tv and watch 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.......................
