Re: “Casey Anthony: She didn’t do it”
Sorry Janet Mathers... My post was not directed to you... Meant for artbybabz!!! My bad... And to add... If George was this horrific child molester, why hasn't any of his other victims come forward? You would think, with such national attention, someone would come forward and corroborate kc's claims, or to seek justice for what happened to them... That's how it usually happens, look at the Jerry Sandusky case, for example.
Are we supposed to believe that kc was his only victim? Was she just that irresistible? Sex offenders can't just turn it off and on, like Jose and kc want us to believe. It's a compulsion that escalates... Her story makes no sense.... Considering the level of the sex offenses Jose accused George of committing in his opening statement, I guarantee there would be many, many more victims out there that would've come forward, or at the very least, we would've heard from them, imo. But not one, not even a rumor.
Again, sorry Janet, didn't mean to direct my last post at you.
Re: “Casey Anthony: She didn’t do it”
Speak for yourself Janet Mathers... Don't speak for other survivors of sexual abuse. I, as well as my 2 sisters were molested, and we believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that she killed little Caylee and that her bs molestation story is exactly that... A load of bs.

Re: “Transforming Tampa Bay”
On Wednesday, Dec. 5th at the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will vote on whether to give a developer 8.5 million tax dollars to "improve" roads around a vacant piece of land so that Bass Pro Shops will build a big box retail store. There are so many things wrong with this proposal it would take a book to list them all but the first and most important is that the neogotiations for this give-away of our tax money was done in secret (What happened to the Sunshine laws?) Contact the BOCC at hillsboroughcounty.org and tell them not to approve this until we have full Sunshine on the subject.

Re: “Up against the wall”
In Montreal artists took a run down district and made it popular only to not be able to afford studios in the district anymore as the rich bought up properties and raised taxes. However in Montreal the city decided that for every business a place for artists to have art studios at affordable rates also had to be included. St. Petersburg is still in its art infancy stage and our leaders need to research and read about other cities and make guidelines for artists and the community that fit today's standards. As artists we do all the hard work and make areas more beautiful, popular but at what cost to the artists? Art is a business, Graffiti is a wonderful art form. We have to evolve as an art city and work together to fix the Mural issue and to all fix the other issues coming up as we grow.

Re: “Unchain the dogs: The Tampa Bay tethering debate”
Clearwater now has the ordinance. A dog can only be chained for a very few minutes, like while you are bringing in groceries from your car, it says. We need an organization down here like one's elsewhere, where we can raise money, and go an build fences, and EDUCATE the people, not judging them, but HELPING the dog. I have been wanting to start something like this for over a year, but I have no idea how to do it. My husband is disabled, and I don't know very many people here. But if we could get a group together, I do have alot of time to give. Any ideas?

Re: “Editor’s Note: Endorsements 2012”
pltctytc, I think you've missed the entire point of this article. There are so many flaws in your argument (and grammar) that it hurts my head to even try to explain it to you. When can we stop hating one candidate or another and start supporting our President, regardless of who they are? What happened to respect for the position? The President is, after all, just a human like you and I who may and likely will make mistakes but so long as they do their best, that's all that can be asked. I didn't vote for Romney but if he wins the election I am not going to scorn him and shake my fist at him for four years. I am going to do my best to support him and hope that he does a good job, because he will be my President and my voice, whether I like it or not. If we truly are so concerned about the state of our country and how we look to others, we need to stop the constant fighting amongst ourselves and within our own government and act, care, and support each other as Americans, without this great divide we have now. Happy voting.

Re: “Editor’s Note: Endorsements 2012”
oh yea like obama hasn't lied for months like romney he's done it throughout his entire term and as a matter of fact since before that. the transparency prez. anything but. scandals and dead americans his specialty and won't use the word terrorism.
bows and caters to dictators. him and his epa squashing oil, gas, coal making prices soar and people losing more jobs in exploration and all related industries. more people on welfare, cuts military spending and warships at a time when other countries are nuking up. unheard of debt in multiple trillions. incompetent. dodd-frank. boeing. thinks we have 57 states. calls marines corpsemen. obamacare a joke with hundreds of exemptions and beside that 10 milllion still won't be covered. won't answer media questions in under 9 minutes yet says nothing and avoids real answers.... you get trusted news from jon stewart?? might as well listen to msnbc. the debates showed what obama is really made of and failed miserably...i've got 100 more but you wouldn't believe them anyway
Re: “The alternative candidate”
Then you are helping to elect Romney. I sympathize, I really do. But is that really what you want? Because that is the net effect.
Re: “The alternative candidate”
She and Cheri have got my vote. I got to vote my conscience, not for the lessor of two evils, not for the Duopoly the media and gov't want us to believe we have now.
