State Senate Passes Death Penalty Bill
=== <begin quote> ===
(
To drum up that support, the Senate has put up a Web site where people can express support for the death penalty bill passed by the Senate Wednesday.
State Senator Dale Volker of
Bruno says capital punishment needs to be back on the books to deter violent crime.
The Democrat-dominated Assembly held a series of public
hearings on the death penalty issue recently. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver
(D,
=== <end quote> ===
As people know, I am opposed to this. It’s a “culture of death” thing. It’s a “I don’t see it in the Constitution” thing. It’s perverse for Government, who’s only valid role is to protect its citizens, to kill some of them. It’s a “it’s such a permanent solution for later found innocent people”. It’s an inefficient thing (i.e., it costs more to try to execute someone than to keep them for life). It’s an ineffective things (i.e., while there are no repeat offenders, and there is some danger in trying to cage a human, I haven’t seen proof that it is a deterrent). So with some many reasons why not, where are the reasons why. Hopefully each of us will consult our own conscience. It’s such a big deal. So I would hope that all Jaspers would act according to the dictates of their conscience. Always.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

half of the freshmen who arrived on the URI officials have long been aware of the university's low graduation rate -- 55.8 percent -- but there has been no system in place to analyze who is dropping out or transferring, and why. No exit interviews to find out what went wrong. No phone calls to determine why they're not coming back. Not even a high-tech flag to alert officials when an underclassman requests a transcript -- an indication of a possible move. And if the university doesn't know what the problems are, it can't fix them. <extraneous deleted> AFTER SEVERAL inquiries by The Journal, URI officials now say they are doing more to address the graduation-rate issue. For
example, URI's president, Robert L. Carothers, last month assigned an
administrator to figure out why graduation rates at URI are so low and the

Alert: Student from Litchfield faces judge Monday Segal, a 2003 Litchfield High School graduate and junior at Manhattan College, is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court on charges that he set fire to a U.S. Army recruiting center in January. Within
hours of the Jan. 31 fire at the recruiting center in the Segal, a junior studying government, was already in custody. The agents, part of a joint terrorism task force, were in search of additional evidence. Waiting for a warrant, they milled about Jasper Hall's fifth floor, asking students what they knew about Segal. By afternoon, as students returned from classes and passed time playing video games, the agents heard answers similar to those of Chris Moreno, a senior who lived a few rooms away. Everybody
seemed to know Segal, He
was a political activist who published and touted his opinions on an
otherwise indifferent campus. But nobody really knew that much about him, Still,
"he didn't seem like a person who might do what they said he did," The
reaction was similar in Litchfield, where Segal graduated from By
the first week of September, Segal, then 19, was protesting at the Republican
National Convention and proclaiming himself an anarchist. During a chance
meeting at a Litchfield grocery, a former teacher heard him passionately
expound on fair labor practices. Amanda Warner, a "I never thought he would take it this far," Warner said. Last
week, a federal grand jury in 'Our little incident' The
Army recruiting center where Segal was arrested is part of an old strip mall,
next to a Dunkin' Donuts and a nail salon. It has a worn, yellow sign, with
blue letters and a phone number for potential soldiers to call. It's about
seven miles from Inside the center, soldiers in Army-issue green dress pants and starched shirts play telemarketer for Uncle Sam. The results of "our little incident," as one soldier recently called it, can be found near the front door. The fire burned a football-sized hole in the emerald green carpet, exposing old wood flooring. About
The officers saw a small fire just inside the door. They detained Segal, searched him and found glue, a map printed from the Internet portal Yahoo! that had the location of the center marked, and a plastic bottle containing what police thought was a liquid accelerant. The lock on the center's door had been sealed with glue, apparently to prevent anyone from getting inside to douse the fire. Police also recovered an accelerant-soaked rag. They also found a note, allegedly in Segal's handwriting, that stated the attack on the center was politically motivated. David
Segal, opinionated student turned self-proclaimed anarchist, became David

One anonymous visitor to www.infoshop.org supported Segal's alleged action and called him a comrade. Others stated they admired Segal's courage, but frowned upon the attack's "shoddy planning" and "action without direction." Another visitor posted: "Anarchists are very real and anarchists exist and fight and anarchists continue to be born. David makes me proud to be an anarchist and he is welcome to visit me in Oz. Support and solidarity -- pr." 'A political edge' Passion

wrote a harangue opposing the Pledge of Allegiance. It was published shortly
after the terrorist attacks of Segal's

Segal and a few friends, "A Cry for Help in a World Gone Dove said Segal "thought outside the box." That
didn't change when Segal arrived at The school's mission statement claims "commitment to social justice inspired by the innovator of modern pedagogy, John Baptist de La Salle." The school's mascot is called the Jasper, after Brother Jasper of Mary, who served at the college in the late 19th century and is most remembered for bringing baseball to the college and for starting what became a major league tradition, "the seventh-inning stretch." Segal published The Radical Jasper, a magazine tackling topics such as political dissent, the presidential election and gender identity. The Radical Jasper was a photocopied collection of commentaries, hand-drawn artwork and poems. According to a report in the campus newspaper, The Quadrangle, administrators received complaints about profanity on The Radical Jasper's pages. Segal became embroiled in a free-speech flap. He continued to distribute the magazine despite an administrative investigation, and turned to students and professors who supported his position through petition. It worked, and the school backed off. The controversy -- and increasing name recognition for Segal on campus -- wasn't over. Last November a disc jockey at the school radio station trashed Segal's magazine in an on-air tirade. Minutes later, according to the report, Segal visited the studio to question his critic, and a fistfight ensued. Whether it was his intention or not, Segal made a name for himself around campus. He was, perhaps, an imperfect fit on the campus of stately brick buildings that require no more ground space than an inner-city high school. Segal was a political activist on a campus where, as one college official said, politics is of little concern to a majority of students. "It's
a small, Irish-Catholic school," If
Segal wanted a political environment, he could have enrolled in a college in

News ( If they elect him, invite him, implore him, then maybe John Isaacs will leave his beloved Bronx and show up at the Final Four in St. Louis. It is there in April that Isaacs may, or may not, be named officially to the enigmatic Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. Isaacs is a finalist this spring in the veterans category, along with Johnny Kerr. He's not holding his breath. As feisty and active as ever at age 89, Isaacs is fed up with the Hall, with what he calls its "popularity contests." He can count. He knows there are twice as many players inducted from the Original Celtics as there are Harlem Rens. "If per chance it would happen, if I'm elected and if I go, I would make it very plain I'm there for the other guys on the Rens," Isaacs said. "I'll tell them flat out. You just don't know how strange they operate up there. I can't worry about that. You take care of home first, be on firm ground yourself." It
turns out that basketball has a short memory, a lousy pension system and a
Hall of Fame with unidentified, expert voters who tend to forget too many of
the sport's black pioneers. Occasionally, a true hero like the late Junius
Kellogg of Such ignorance is astounding, and anonymous. A Hall of Fame official said that the rotating panel remains nameless to be free of outside influences, but it is clearly in need of a few history lessons. The

The Rens won 88 straight games in 1933, usually beating the magnificent Original Celtics of Nat Holman and Joe Lapchick, who were fading a bit by then. Isaacs

Its founder, Bob Douglas, was inducted in 1972. Tarzan Cooper was elected in 1976 and Pop Gates made it in 1989. The Original Celtics also were inducted as a team. Their stars - Lapchick, Holman, Dutch Dehnert and Johnny Beckman - also were elected. Isaacs
finally got the call last week. Actually, there were 28 messages on his
answering machine in the "This Hall is a fraud, a fake," Isaacs said. "Satch Sanders is missing. Can you imagine that?" It

The
Times Union ( Matt
Reilly is a runner for all seasons at Reilly,
from Burnt Hills (Burnt Hills High), is a transfer from You started at Canisius. Why did you transfer and are you happy with your decision? I
transferred schools after my junior year at Canisius because they cut out the
track program. It took me a while to decide if I wanted to transfer because I
was close to getting my degree from Canisius and I had a good group of
friends, but from a running point it made sense to leave. Overall, I am very
happy with transferring to Which do you prefer, indoor our outdoor track? I prefer outdoors over indoors. I think running on a larger track makes it easier to run faster times and it's easier to breathe outside rather than inside where the air tends to be much drier. Outdoor meets tend to be more exciting. Also, there are no indoor meets which can compare to the Penn Relays, for example. How
did you prepare for your final season at I
looked forward to my final season just like any other, but obviously there is
a little more pressure to run well. We will be running in You run both individual and relay races. Which do you prefer and what is the mind set for each? I really don't have a preference for one over the other, but I would say the mind set is a little different for each. In a relay, I'm usually the lead-off leg, so I think it's important to get out well and at least be in a position to take the lead with 200 to go and if you tie up a bit, you have still put your team in a good position and there are still three other legs to bring you back. But if you sit in the back and don't make a move and end up getting gapped, it becomes much harder for your teammates to make that up. In an individual, I prefer to sit towards to back of the first pack and make a strong move in the second half of the race. I like being able to see the leaders rather than be one of them and drag people along. Did Burnt Hills High prepare you for college life, college athletics and college academics? I would say that I was most prepared for athletics in college, rather than for college life or academics. The training at college is much harder, but the training I did under Chip Button at Burnt Hills helped make the transition a smooth one. Academically it took me a couple of semesters to get a good system down, but once I did the work became much easier. I don't think much can prepare you for college life, other than just going and getting used to it, but I do think playing a sport helps. You compete in all seasons. That must make it tough to study. What is your game plan? As far as studying, I try and do most of my work during the day when I'm not at class. The most classes I have in one day is three, so that leaves some free time. I'd rather work during the day when my roommates are at class than after dinner, when everyone is at the house and there are different things going on. The most important thing is to find what works and then stick to that. What is your major and what are your plans for the future? I'm a history major. Starting in September I'll be joining the AmericaCorps for 10 months and after that I'm not sure what my plans are for the future, possibly get a GA (graduate assistant) position somewhere and help out coaching while I get my Masters. - Bill Arsenault Special

TOXIC WASTE on a property is usually the death knell for development, but a "Bronx
Brownfield Development," the theme of the Bronx Council for
Environmental Quality's fourth annual Water Conference on March 15, will
explore the potential for state-funded cleanup grants to help jump-start Brownfields are former industrial sites with polluted soil and ground water requiring environmental cleanup before they can be developed for public or commercial use. Just where these sites are is never clear until the area is intensively studied to discover its past uses, making many developers wary of even beginning the process. Dart
Westphal, chairman of the "If we go out and survey all the properties and find out who owned them and what they were used for, then developers will know they'll have fewer unpleasant surprises," he said. The
conference focus will be the Carrión hopes that if the Yankees decide to build a new stadium just north of the existing one, the city-owned House That Ruth Built will be preserved and converted into a public park, shopping venue and team museum. Combined with a new ferry terminal, mass transit improvements and the proposed conversion of the rundown Bronx Terminal Market into a high-end shopping destination, Carrión's development aspirations would dramatically transform the riverfront - if developers can be enticed to sign on. Carrión's
office and the New York City Soil and Water Conservation District have joined
in the Justin Bloom, the Bronx Council for Environmental Quality volunteer coordinating the application, also noted the importance of public outreach. "A lot of big development projects run into local community opposition," he said. "Part of the point of this process is to involve local groups early and promote involvement." One
of the largest Brownfield Opportunity Area grants in the city already is
changing the face of the Administrated by The Point Community Development Corp., the $6.6 million cleanup grant will eventually transform Barretto Point, a 13-acre, city-owned parcel that once was home to an asphalt plant into a riverfront park. The

Alert: The two-time defending MAAC champs entered both the 2003 and 2004 conference tournaments as the No. 1 seed after winning the MAAC regular-season titles. This
season, the Jaspers aren't the No. 1 seed. They're sixth. They also didn't

Alert: Of
course, despite a terrific effort on both ends of the floor, it wasn't going
to come easily last night for Fortunately,
though, the clock ran out before the Stags could miss any more free throws
and they escaped the HSBC Arena with a heart-pounding 62-60 victory over "We
were fortunate," For O'Toole to say such a thing after the way the Stags played is rather incredible. The Stags (15-14) did a great job limiting the Jaspers' (15-14) top two scoring threats, Peter Mulligan (10 points) and CJ Anderson (10 points) by throwing a combination of junk defenses at the Jaspers who never got on track on offense. Offensively DeWitt Maxwell had 17 points and nine rebounds. Terrence Todd had 15 points and Deng Gai had a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds to go with four blocks. The Stags got solid efforts out of point guard Tyquawn Goode and subs Kudjo Sogadzi and Michael Van Schaick, who combined for 16 points and four steals in 27 minutes. Nevertheless, as O'Toole mentioned, the Stags were fortunate to win. "We almost gave it away," Maxwell said, referring to the 17 missed free throws in 38 attempts. The Stags also missed five of their last six charity tosses in the final 37 seconds when a seven-point lead almost disappeared. "That's not us," Maxwell continued. "We were, what, 21 for 38? We'll never do that again." Maxwell
had a Shaq-like 9-for-16 night from the line, including two misses with 3.5
seconds remaining that set up what could have been the final nightmare to a
crazy season. Mulligan had the ball along the left wing but lost the ball as
the clock expired. Had he gotten a shot off and made it, this might have been
the worst defeat in "I thought Mulligan was fouled," Gonzalez said. "Absolutely he got fouled. But sometimes the officials run out of the building because they don't make those calls." It would have been a gift call had Gonzalez got it, and the Jaspers received enough charity last night. Even the usually reliable Todd was a surprising 2-for-6 from the line. "There are going to be nights like that," Todd said. "We work on them too much to miss them as much as we did. But we still got the W." The
Stags had a 61-54 lead with 37 seconds remaining and Goode on the line. He
missed two and Todd then missed one of two with 23 ticks remaining before Jason Wingate made a 3 with 4.7 left. Then
it was Maxwell's turn to miss two free throws at 3.5 seconds, but after
Mulligan lost the ball out of bounds as the clock expired, the "I
knew we were missing free throws but we made some good defensive stops and we
didn't let Mulligan and O'Toole is an emotional man and he tries to get his team to play that way. He certainly succeeded in doing that in the opening half. The Stags came out playing as if it was their last day on Earth. Further fueling their intensity was the fact that the Jaspers looked a little bewildered against the Stags' box-and-1 defense. With
O'Toole targeting different Jaspers nearly every time down the court, the
Stags broke on top 10-3 and then 20-11 with Todd leading the way with 11
points of those 20 points. The Stags attacked on offense and hustled on the
other end, refusing to allow Mulligan (3 first-half points) and "We've

title, he said, still had to go through Last
night, With Fairfield up by two with 3.5 seconds to play, DeWitt Maxwell had a chance to ice the game for the Stags, but when he missed a pair of free throws, Manhattan had life and a final shot at tying or winning. Jason Wingate got the ball to Mulligan just outside the three-point circle in front of the Manhattan bench, but Mulligan was unable to get a shot off when Fairfield's Kudjo Sogadzi stripped him of the ball as the horn sounded and Fairfield survived Manhattan's late push to post a 62-60 victory. "I
think that Peter Mulligan absolutely got fouled," Mulligan also thought he should have been sent to the line. "There was contact," said Mulligan, who had 10 points in his final game as a Jasper. "The ball just popped out and I just saw the refs leaving. First I was going to look for a foul but I just saw the refs walking off and I knew it was over." Jeff

Lebanon Daily News ( If
Aubrie Dellinger's first year of college was a movie, it would be titled
"Immediate Impact." It would be an action flick set in You'd probably like to see Angelina Jolie or Uma Thurman star in the leading role. But if it were up to her, Dellinger would just as soon play herself. It
seems that about 18 months ago, a Dellinger has seen plenty of combat during her initial stint of duty. The 5-9 guard has appeared in all of the Jaspers' 27 contests this season and has been on the squadron's starting front line for 15 of those, including the last 11 straight. During
the current campaign, "I didn't know what to expect coming in," Dellinger said. "But I've gotten a lot of playing time. The spots were pretty much wide open. So almost anyone could've come in and played. "In the back of my head, I thought I'd get a lot of playing time," Dellinger continued. "But I didn't think it would be this much. It was early, a couple of weeks into practice, when I figured it out." Currently, Dellinger is third on the squad in scoring, with a points-per-game average just under eight. Recently, headquarters recognized Dellinger's marksmanship and valor by naming her to the MAAC all-rookie platoon. "Coach [Myndi Hall] says I should be shooting at least 10 shots a game," said Dellinger, one of five freshmen on the force. "And of course playing defense. That's kind of our main thing. And that suits me just fine, because in high school, that was my main thing. I like that a lot. "The team overall has been doing better than expected," Dellinger added. "We were picked to finish 10th [during the regular season], and we did better than that. We only had four returning players. So considering how young we are, we've done pretty well." Dellinger was certainly a hardened, battle-tested veteran during her training days as a Falcon. She fired in over 1,000 points and started all four years for a Cedar Crest program that won four Lancaster-Lebanon Section Three crowns, three Lancaster-Lebanon League titles and a District Three Class AAAA championship. "At first, it was a big adjustment because the players are so strong and much quicker," Dellinger said. "I just had to get used to it. That and my time management, because high school is so easy. I'd say basketball takes up the most of my time. "Being away from home hasn't bothered me at all," Dellinger added. "I only went home for three days at Christmas time. And all I wanted to do when I was there was to get back here so I could start playing again." LOAD-DATE:

Alert for: "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan
college" -"borough of manhattan college" Is Southridge the next power in girls basketball? After beating No. 10 Central Catholic for
the state title Saturday night at the Southridge went 29-0 and will graduate only one player. Three juniors — J.J. Hones, Aarika Hughes and Stacey Nichols — were voted to the all-tournament team. “I don’t know if we’re going to be the
next Southridge, a school of more than 1,800 students, had the makings of a champion. The Skyhawks reached the semifinals in 2003 and 2004 before becoming only the sixth Class 4A team to go unbeaten (Oregon City did it in 1996 and ’97). Central Catholic certainly established itself as a team to watch next season, as well, despite graduating six seniors, including standouts Annie McIntyre, Chelsie Morrison and Kelly Mathews. The Rams stunned the state by beating the Pioneers on Friday behind a stellar performance from McIntyre, who assumed something of a gladiator look by wearing ankle braces and knee pads on both legs along with socks pulled up to her thighs. She hit five 3-point shots and scored a game-high 17 points. McIntyre, who is headed for NCAA Division
I Manhattan College in This was her fourth straight year in the tourney, and she said Central alumni are good at keeping in touch. “So many players from past seasons called up, it was great,” McIntyre says. “That’s really a wonderful part of our team, that we’re so close. That’s really what the tournament is all about — making memories. “We didn’t win the title, but I’ll remember this forever.” Central also finished second in the state volleyball tournament, and the Rams, with McIntyre in goal, reached the semifinals in soccer. With basketball players such as sophomore forward Becky Goll, who was voted all-tournament, and junior guard Miranda Holenstein returning, McIntyre has high hopes for the Rams for next season. “Three years ago when we finished fourth, we graduated a great group of seniors and everyone thought we were going to have a rebuilding season,” she says. “But we got back to the tournament and finished fourth again the next season. “I know they can get back here and contend for the title again.” “We had a lot of younger kids push our older girls in practice all season. That’s how we got to be this good,” says Sandy Dickerson, Central’s sixth-year coach. “There’s going to be some big shoes to fill, but we’re going to try our best to fill them.” Jesuit coach Kathy Adelman Naro, whose
unranked Crusaders finished sixth in this year’s tourney, says the Rams did
the state something of a favor by beating “That was a great win for Central Catholic,” Naro says. “And it was great for the state, too.” Among other tournament highlights: • Dickerson became the third straight female coach to finish second, behind Naro in 2003 and Heather Roberts of Lakeridge last year.

Martin-Kelly, Margaret (1998) Hi John! Got your email and thanks for the invite, but happily I already am a subscriber to Jasper Jottings. Thought that I'd take the opportunity to say thank you for all the work you do in compiling information for the rest of us Jaspers to read - much appreciated. But since you asked for updates, I do have some happy updates to give on various Jaspers: My husband Mike (`98) and I (`98) were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Caitlin Anne, back in August. She was quite a shocker as she arrived eight weeks early(!), but is getting bigger every day and we are enjoying parenthood immensely. My
brother, Sean Kelly (`03) is engaged to Ms. Michele Marino of My
sister, Bernadette Kelly (`95) is engaged to Mr. Darren Finch of Other happy news from Jasper friends of ours: Rosemarie Coppola-Baldwin (`96) and her husband Christopher welcomed their first child, Christopher Matthew, into the world back in August last year. Her sister, Deborah Coppola (`99) is engaged to be married to James Karcher (`99) in September. John Kiernan (`98) married Loretta Sacchetti last September. Timothy Lee (`98) is engaged to be married to Debbie Natemeier this July. John Sullivan (`98) is engaged to be married to Tannen Mark this September. Again, thanks for all your efforts and hope all is well with you and yours. All
the best, [JR: Well now you know what a rotten clerk I am. I am sorry to waste your time with that invite. But, it did prompt a great email. (Maybe, I just claim stupidity and that will prompt readers to write great emails. Hmmmm?) Thanks for the super snapshot. Your email will energize me for another week. ] |

Jasper John '68 @ Jasper Jottings Dear Jasper Jack, Sorry to intrude. But I am confused. I sent you an invite. I didn't put you on any "list". This was a one-time event of me reaching out to Jaspers via the MC Alumni website. My confusion comes about from your instruction "to take you off". I reached you thru the MC Alumni site. I assume that you registered there. Which implies that you are interested in getting email from your fellow Jaspers. If you're referring to me contacting you again about Jottings, no worry there. If you are referring to getting email from your fellow Jaspers, then that's a different story. It is impossible for me to "take you off that list" since I don't own it. If you registered there in error, I can help you contact the site manager Stephen DeSalvo mailto:alumni@manhattan.edu who can help you "unregister" if that is what you mean. Email sometimes means ambiguity. It is possible that there is even other interpretations of what you are asking me. I am very willing to try to help you get the effect you want. Feel free to give me a call on 732-821-5850 or reply to this email, and I'll bust a gut trying to help. If you just don't want to hear from me again, then you don't have to do anything. I'll just go away with my apologies for bothering you. Jasper Jottings is a free ezine that I produce to foster the Jasper spirit. The last thing I want to do is negatively impact that spirit. John '68 P.S.: By the way, by replying, you exposed your real email address. If I was a spammer, then I'd have you. You might want to consider using a free service like Spam Motel, which would keep you "hidden". www.SpamMotel.com Just thought you'd like to know. |

John Umana (1969) Dear John, Jerry Breen gave me your email, and suggested I check out your web page. I'm class of '69. But I must have the name of your page wrong. www.jasperjotting.com I'm not getting through. Is this the correct URL? I've written a book, Creation, reconciling creationism and Darwinism. I'm going to need a web page to be able to sell the book that I'm about to self-publish through BookSurge Publishing (something like AuthorHouse). I've got a young cousin who says he can set up the web page for me. But would appreciate any ideas or general suggestions, as Jerry says you're a wiz! Table of contents: 1: The Big Bang - The Big Picture, 2: Creation of Earth and Its Life Forms, 3: Creation of Pre-Human Hominids, 4: Creation of Homo Sapiens, the First Humans, 5: Human Migration From Out of Africa, (with subchapters: Human Ingenuity Turns to Abstract Thought and Art, Human Encounters with Neanderthals and Homo erectus, Development of Agriculture, Evolution of Mankind); 6: Migration to the Americas, 7: Other Intelligent Civilizations in the Universe (subchapters: The Continuing Unfolding of the Crop Circles, Possible Scientific and Cultural Exchange with Extraterrestrial Worlds, 8: God’s Creation Dovetails with Evolution (Subchapters: The Migration of Birds and Other Animals); and 9: The Role of God and the Role of Man.

Jasper John '68 @ Jasper Jottings Hi! I am not sure how much of a wiz, I am. I am an IT exec and have been involved in the technology for awhile. I've never published a book, but have sold stuff via the net, consulted with orgs about strategy and technology. So you have a book, sounds like you've settled on a publisher, and you'll have a web site. As with all my "customers", I ask "whattayawantfromme". What itch do you think I can scratch that you can't reach by yourself? I would suggest that you think about your objective in writing a book. Do you want money, fame, or feedback? Before you take the proverbial journey of a thousand miles, it would be nice to know where you're going and why. That's strategy. Assuming you can articulate that? then, the tactics come up. A website can be used to drive sales. Are you going to sell on the web? You can use ebay and amazon and a bunch of other tools. But, you have to do it safely. There's a bunch of "pot holes" on the internet "superhighway" that can swallow you whole. Hope this helps, John'68 |

Eugene Fagan John, What is the point on this story about this Gilmore guy who has $30 million and doesn't want to give identification to show who he is so as to travel on our airlines and railroads? Is he a Manhattan College Graduate? If not, why is he included in this website? If he is a graduate, what is the point? Are you trying to show that we have our share of idiots with too much money to handle responsibly? Gene Fagan Class of '50 EE. === From:
Jasper John '68 @ Jasper Jottings Gene'50, The point was "courage of convictions". Regardless of what you think of his beliefs, he stuck to them. Pushing the envelope entails taking a stand and enduring the consequences. We are constantly confronted by people in "leadership" who say one thing and do another. Movie stars are a great example. Politicians another. All too often, I too believe X, but do Y to get along. Hopefully, I will have the courage to stand up for what we believe regardless of the consequences. I hope we all do. That was the point of the story. Sorry I didn't communicate it better. But then I am an "injuneer", so I have an excuse. ;-) John'68 === From:
Eugene Fagan John, The radical Muslims have the "courage of their convictions" too. I hope you don't admire them. They want publicity, just like Gilmore does but they also like to kill any one who doesn't agree with them. At least Gilmore is harmless now but if he ever gets his way in court, those radical Muslims would be delighted. I have a pacemaker and have to go thru a complete personal "pat down" search to get thru security. I don't mind that at all because there is a better chance that some plane with lots of young mothers and/or fathers aboard won't be destroyed. I wonder how Gilmore would respond to a personal pat down? He just sounds like a real nut who has too much money and wants publicity. He picked the wrong issue. If he was smart, he would recognize that in todays world we may have to give up some personal freedoms for the sake of the security of the public at large. Gene [JR: Well Jasper Gene’50, we will have to agree to disagree. (ONE)
While I am aghast at the killers flying planes into buildings and killing
innocent people, I recognize that they were committed to their cause. I
despise them for what they did! We have to be as committed to ours, as the
1500 men who won’t be coming home were. But recognize the difference in
commitment from the Hollywood Stars and Politicians who lecture us on how to
live and do the opposite in their personal and private life. Lecture on the
environment and drive the biggest SUV. Lecture us on charity and cheap out
for tsunami relief. Lecture us on ethics in government, but rent the (TWO) Pat downs, and other invasive forms of “security” are nothing more than style over substance. The non-sense that is being perpetrated on the flying public is a joke. Searching childen, the elderly, and the average person is a joke. Air marshals are a joke. “Homeland Security” is the biggest joke. Focusing on airlines, we can eliminate all the nonsense with a few steps: (a) arm the pilots and flight crew. Most are ex-military. Til recently, if the flight carried mail, the pilot was required to be armed. (This was a rule like the British lighthouse lookout position which was staffed and paid by for by The Brits to look for Napolean’s fleet and not eliminated until ~1940!!!) (b) put a real door between the passengers and flight crew. My car door has a better lock on it than the cockpit door. A drink cart ramming it will breech it. My car door will practically stop a truck. The difference? I can sue the car makers. The airline gets a pass. (c)
Release the militia. Allow the citizenry to bring whatever they want on the
plane. Hijackers should be the responsibility of the airline, not the federal
government. The government can’t keep weapons and drugs out of prisons or
schools. What makes you think they will do any better with an airplane. Let
the people defend themselves and each other. The militia is the body of
citizenry. Why do we expect our employees (i.e., government agents) to protect
us? We can do it ourselves. Heinlein codified it “an armed society is a
polite society”. Hijackers had better technology – box cutters. Why deprive
ourselves of the best. “God made men and women. Sam Colt made them equal.”
Notice the reaction of the terrorist wounded and disabled by a bunch of
Israeli citizens at a bus stop before he could kill or hurt any of them. He
complained, “They weren’t supposed to be armed!” Best way to beat them is at
their own game. Deprive them of a rich environment of populated with easy
targets. Terrorists cowardly attack those that can’t defend themselves. And,
we allow it! We can frustrate them and thus eliminate the reward. Attack an
American school of the pre-gun control era unheard of! You’d find every adult
in the area was armed, to deal with two legged and four legged predators. The
school even had a marksmanship club. Use’m for targets! We, us, the citizens,
are not wimps. Lest you think there’d be problems, look at the track record
in (d)
Make the airlines responsible. By the way, how many hijackings has El Al had
since the (FOUR)
The situation at the borders demonstrates the absurdity of the government’s
“talk the talk”. Illegal aliens and terrorists walk in on us. Let’s put a
stop to it. We’re great at fences. The dead old white guys told us “Good
fences make Good Neighbors”. They arrive at our airports and instead of it being
the airline’s problem, they get an invitation to come back and are sent on
their way. Whatta joke. There’s a reason that on international flights the
airlines check passports, visas, and other travel documents. Those governments
tell the airlines that they the airline are responsible to haul the
intruder’s butt to anywhere they’d like out but it’s at the airline’s
expense. Guess what? They check. Let’s do the same. They talk security when
they infringe on our rights. But, they forget to “walk the talk” when it
comes to doing the hard stuff. How about the “Great Wall of America” from
ocean to ocean between Us and (FIVE)
Our forefathers warned us about government tyranny. Search the web for
Franklin and Washington and Jefferson on Security and Ruby
Ridge and (SIX) The problem is us sheep. In Catholic school, we gave obedience to the teachers in the belief that the good brothers and nuns had our best interest at heart. For the most part, they did. The government ain’t those good nuns and brothers. The government is like a ravenous beast that feast on our sustenance, scares us into following its orders, and sometimes kills us. Government is us at our worst and just one step better than the rampaging mob unrestrained. We have to keep the genie in the bottle. I admire Gilmore for his stance. I am a little bit of a hypocrite since if my employer said fly there, I’d go along to get there. If I had cajones, I say no. One reason the airlines are in trouble is that I, and many others, ain’t going along. I may not have the stones to confront them directly, but I learned from Ghandi. I don’t fly. I love LasVegas, but I ain’t flying as long as they have this nonsense. So to a certain extent, I am a quietly resisting sheeple. So as I said, agree to disagree agreeably. ] [JR: Sorry for the length, but it’s a hot button. ] |

John dropped in and took on some feedback meant for me. I think maybe he didn’t say if forcefully enough!
Raising the minimum wage won’t help the poor; it only helps those whose wages are indexed off the minimum wage!
If the minimum wage exceeds the value of that wage, then the result is unemployment. John tells the elevator operator story and I repeat it to everyone who listens. It’s all about value. Politicians are not altruists. They do things to help their contributors. Raising the minimum wage inflates the wage table. Think of it as increase the wages of Government Employees, Union Workers on government contracts, and others who are at no risk of market discipline.
If they called it what it is “A raise for those ripping of the people” as opposed to “raising the minimum wage”, they we’d have truth in labeling. It’s the poor, where the market discipline of an increasing minimum wage, means unemployment. If we could cap the government payroll, raising the wage rate could would just decrease the nominal salary. We can’t cap the payroll, so increasing the minimum wage just increases the payroll which increases the taxes. After the minimum wage increase in private industry, there wage structure just gets compressed. Only the government and its ilk does everyone get a salary bump. In private industry, they fire those poor slobs whose new cost is greater than the value they provide AND they have to make up the cost of the new taxes. A multiple whammy.
In addition, it HURTS the minorities, the young, and the poor, who need those minimum wage jobs to get on the economic ladder. Then they can learn the skills needed to move up.
I know a woman, who went back to work. She went to a fast food place for minimum wage, and all she could do was fill up soda cups. A few months later, she got a raise and was promoted to French fries. She was on the ladder and on her way.
Raising the minimum wage is like pulling up the “fire escape like” ladder! How can you climb the ladder of success, when you can’t reach the bottom rung?
John wasn’t strident enough on this topic. Sorry, John.
IMHO!
And that’s the last word.
