It made me feel safe traveling underground (subway) particularly at night. I must also sadly admit that I hold more repsect for them than I do the NYPD. <BR/><BR/>I read much on the web about citizens being fed up with not only the crime in Allentown, but the lack of resources needed to address the growing criminal population.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious to know how many residents would be willing to assist in protecting what they once held so dear to them....their hometown.PavlovsDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374299011418874390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-68479473606842016942008-05-20T19:30:00.000-04:002008-05-20T19:30:00.000-04:00sorry Bernie, wrong word - I meant "insipid" inste...sorry Bernie, wrong word - I meant "insipid" instead of lucid - was working on two things at once and got myself confusedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-53855318157468160332008-05-20T19:27:00.000-04:002008-05-20T19:27:00.000-04:00Must be hell to get ripped by such a lucid attack....Must be hell to get ripped by such a lucid attack...<BR/><BR/>The Morning Call is the classic example about why there used to be laws that required 2 newspapers in a town our size. However, now that there are so many outlets for opinions, that type of law is outdated.<BR/><BR/>The only way to deal w/ it is cancel your subscriptions and read it online. That way, at least they're not taking your $$ in addition to being a terrible newspaper.<BR/><BR/>This may be a more effective approach now. Their new owner watches things like revenue and profits, and will act if there's a problem in the paper's financial statements.<BR/><BR/>Other than starting another paper (which won't work anyway) this is the only course of action we have because they won't change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-55717649954906730772008-05-20T18:40:00.000-04:002008-05-20T18:40:00.000-04:00How clever!How clever!Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-66136275761487364582008-05-20T18:34:00.000-04:002008-05-20T18:34:00.000-04:00Bernie, I find mostly it is you that lies.Bernie, I find mostly it is you that lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13144161182933006002008-05-20T08:41:00.000-04:002008-05-20T08:41:00.000-04:00Crime is down, no need to anymore police.

In this case, it took a statistically skewed and laughably invalid survey sample that basically refutes "signs of progress" ... and used it anyway to "support" its rosy headline about people's perceptions of Allentown showing signs of progress. Maybe there are signs of progress but The Morning Call's junk science poll surely does not show it.Bill Villahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740332426144806998noreply@blogger.com
