Guys,<br><br>I got my letter!! Whew, I was starting to feel left out! So far so good though, eh? I think Operation Sports Chat is proving to be a real sucess - I hope Master Wilson is pleased! See you guys at the clubhouse.

Speaking of pedophiles, Mr. Hicks, when did *you* learn not only that an<br>adult predator had abused one of our community's *very* young teen girls but<br>also that a serial predatory pedophile had operated undetected in our
<br>community for 18 months?<br><br>According to your pastor, the information was available to you sometime in<br>late 2005.<br><br>If that's the case, I'd like to know what makes you think it proper to<br>"infiltrate" V2020 now with all your silly sports posts to try to shift
<br>attention away from real issues facing our community after you *chose* to<br>remain silent while privy to *important* information pertaining to the<br>safety of our children, information that was withheld from the vast majority
<br>of our community?<br><br>Oh . . . wait . . . I see where you admitted on V2020 to being at a 2005 HOH<br>parish meeting where you were informed.<br><br>Then WHAT in God's name is your excuse, Mr. Hicks?<br><br>Somehow, I don't think God is going to look too kindly on your strategy of
<br>obfuscation that harms *all* of God's children. You *knew*, and you said<br>nothing . . . did nothing . . . to protect our children. Shame on you, Mr.<br>Hicks :-(<br><br>May God have mercy on your soul.<br><br><br>

<br>all-access to the Wimbeldon action on the interweb? I was terribly<br>dissappointed that I didn't get to watch any of the French Open and I have a<br>feeling that Wimbeldon might be Lleyton's chance to dethrone Nadal, which
<br>would make my month!<br><br>This is a serious question, I hope this isn't misconstrued as some sort of<br>ploy to distract from Jackie's brilliant and very important concerns about<br>the safety of downtowners from all of the drunk fundy-pedophiles that'll be

<br><br> Gabe has made some major errors while being the "security<br>coordinator" for<br> this event. The concerns of the people involved have been and<br>apparently<br> will continue to be ignored by him and the rest of the "gang". This
<br>does<br> NOT speak well for your organization nor for the "christian" way you<br>are<br> supposed to be operating.<br><br> He has less than one month and a few days before this thing<br>
goes...he has<br> YET to even contact the businesses in the CBD, much less<br>"coordinate"<br> anything that would relay any sense of confidence to the community<br>regarding<br> it.<br><br>
I felt his presentation and affect during his talk on Monday as well<br>as<br> other times he has come before a City Committee, was totally<br>unprofessional,<br> did NOT come across as being confident and lacked a great deal of
<br> information that could have prevented ANYone from asking questions<br>or at<br> least fewer ones. I don't see why this type of permit, which<br>effects all of<br> us TAX PAYING citizens can not be brought before the public and our
<br>input be<br> listened to. You don't agree with that - fine.<br><br> Don't accuse me of something you have NO knowledge of nor has any<br>basis of<br> fact to back it up. You don't even know me. (Yes, I know - that
<br>has never<br> stopped you people from being stupid before.)<br><br> Now, I am sure there must be something on ESPN you could be<br> watching.......................<br><br><br> J :]<br><br>

<br> >Subject: [Vision2020] Good sport: entertaining J Ford's questions<br>with<br> >theseriousness they deserve<br> >Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 11:18:10 +0000<br> ><br> >Let others blather mindlessly about sports. I, for one, shall be a
<br>good<br> >sport and entertain J Ford's questions with the seriousness they<br>deserve.<br> ><br> >Question 1: Was he aware of the complaints last year (as he<br>specifically<br> >stated on Monday) or was he not?
<br> ><br> >Answer 1: That is correct.<br> ><br> >Question 2: Are they not valid simply because he may not have been<br>aware<br> >of them? He says several time in his statement that he does not
<br>feel they<br> >(the complaints) are valid because he did not know about them until<br>"they<br> >were brought to the table a couple of weeks ago."<br> ><br> >Answer 2: The bad news is, the statute of limitations has run out
<br>on last<br> >year's complaints. The good news is, there is still plenty of time<br>to get<br> >in your reservations for this year's complaints. Be a good citizen!<br>--<br> >complain early, complain often.
<br> ><br> >Question 3: WHAT account? What does that mean?<br> ><br> >Answer 3: That "account" means *causality.* You can read it as, "I<br>assume<br> >you want us to have 2 Moscow PC officers *because of* Credenda
<br>Agenda."<br> ><br> >Question 4: Why in this world would you "assume" the City Council<br>wants 2<br> >MPD? Assumptions are based on knowledge, to some extent, and so I<br>
am<br> >wondering just what his "assume"ing is based upon.<br> ><br> >Answer 4: No, if assumptions were *based on* knowledge, they would<br>not be<br> >assumptions. Assumptions are things that you simply *asssume* to be
<br>true.<br> >Knowledge is based on assumptions (i.e., faith), not the other way<br>around.<br> ><br> >Question 5a: Did anyone ask Moscow Hotel if they want *his*<br>security<br> >guards "permanently" stationed on their steps?
<br> ><br> >Answer 5a: No, but since 9/11 such measures have unfortunately<br>become<br> >necessary for security. Your kind understanding and cooperation are<br>greatly<br> >appreciated.
<br> ><br> >Question 5b: Since Gabe is denying there was a problem last year<br>in<br> >regards to the access issue, and he had security guards there LAST<br>year,<br> >what makes it any better this year, to set the situation up the
<br>same way?<br> ><br> >Answer 5b: It must be granted that setting the situation up the<br>same way as<br> >last year does not make it any better this year. It only makes it<br>"just as
<br> >good," which is okay insofar as there was no problem last year.<br> ><br> >Question 6: Just how many "security guards" will be stationed<br>around the<br> >play area to guard the children from interacting with people who
<br>have/will<br> >be drinking?<br> ><br> >Answer 6: This information cannot be divulged for security reasons,<br>but it<br> >will be an adequate number. There are also ample numbers of highly
<br>trained<br> >yet fresh reservists that can be called up in the event an<br>unexpectedly<br> >large number of paedocommunionists show up.<br> ><br> >Question 7: Just what kind of training or experience will these
<br>"security<br> >guards" have that would enable them to spot a person, much less<br>take care<br> >of a person, that has partaken a bit too much of what the beer/wind<br>garden<br> >will be offering?
<br> ><br> >Answer 7: This information too cannot be divulged for security<br>reasons, but<br> >suffice it to say that key personnel in charge of training are<br>former<br> >members of elite
U.S. military special forces drinking teams. A few<br>country<br> >bumpkins, even armed with six-packs of Sam Adams, are no match for<br>these<br> >guys.<br> ><br> >Question 8: How many drinks will any one person or persons be
<br>allowed to<br> >buy during the evening and who is going to say "enough"?<br> ><br> >Answer 8: People shall be permitted drinks only up to the limit,<br>and not<br> >one drink beyond the limit shall be permitted.
<br> ><br> >Question 9: Is there any reason this event could not have been<br>held in the<br> >East Side Park, where the beer/wind garden could be placed at a<br>safer<br> >distance from the children's play area?
<br> ><br> >Answer 9: Yes, there is a reason: an increased distance in the<br>other<br> >location would not be "safer."<br> ><br> >Question 10: Why is it that this issue is not opened to a public
<br>hearing<br> >so that those with LEGITIMATE concerns can be heard before you<br>allow this<br> >type of event to be given a green light?<br> ><br> >Answer 10: Legitimate concerns like the ones you are expressing
<br>here? To<br> >ask the question is to answer it. Why don't you pour yourself a<br>stiff drink<br> >or three, pop a few Prozacs, and then we can talk when you are no<br>longer<br> >hyperventilating.
<br> ><br> >Question 11: Why not put out a resolution that any beer/wine<br>request for<br> >ANY City Park be open to public comment?<br> ><br> >Answer 11: Do you mind if we offer up libations to the gods while
<br>we hear<br> >these public comments?<br> ><br> >It seems to me that the added traffic issues, the noise issues and<br>the<br> >possible DWI issues an event like this is likely to create dictates
