Your distorted view of the importance of the East Germans is laughable. The Germans were riding on the coattails of the brave Pole's that draged the Eastern Europeans out of the Communist fold. If it were not for Solidarnosc that part of the world would still be kissing the south end of a north bound Russian horse.
"That was 20 years ago. Since then, another notorious wall has been erected. This one, funded in part by U.S. tax dollars, cuts through the heart of the Holy Land. Euphemistically called a “security fence” by its builders, Israel’s wall extends along the entire western perimeter of the West Bank of Occupied Palestine, and, in places, is twice as high as the Berlin Wall was. Like the Berlin Wall, Israel’s wall cruelly divides a people and renders their repressed lives increasingly more burdensome."

sorry I ment convenience store I dont know what happened to the "en" it must be lost just like those condoms that cause us to be ranked at 48 out of 50.
This same logic could have been applied to Nazi Germany in the forties and today Europe would be speaking German.But hey look an the bright side, the TRILLION AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS that we would have saved in war costs, reconstruction costs, cold war costs ect.ect.ect. could now be used for the purchasing of GM. But the drawback to this logic would be that we would now be paying for the retirement of the 300,000 plus Great American HEROES that gave thier lives so we could be free and so Europeans wont have to speak German if they don't want to.
"According to reports, Ohio ranks 48th in access to contraception (9/22/09) and half of all births in Ohio are unintended (9/23/09). "
- By the term contraception you mean abortion right! The last time I checked you can find condoms in just about any convience store, drug store or bar. That would place about 95% of ohio's population within one quarter of a mile to the nearest condom i.e." contraception" I think what you are trying to say but don't have the GUTS to say it is that you want the tax payers to puy for the abortions for those that are irresponsible and don't want to pay a dollar for safe sex when it is much easier for the tax payers to pay a thousand dollars so you can have your abortions at tax payers expense. it is not the duty of the tax payers to correct the idiocy of others
YO YO COOCH WADAYATALKING BOUT BADA BING BADA BANG THERE AINT NO SUCH THING AS A MOB THATS A LOAD A CRAP TO DRAG DOWN THE ITIALIANS KNOW WHAT IM TALKING BOUT
Lady you stated "this man (Marhulik) violated all of these people's civil rights", Seeing as you are a civil rights expert just like the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton ,maybe you could identify just a few of the rights violations. Keeping in mind that ALL of the rights were violated could you just mention a FEW. I was unaware that an Officer that is off duty does not have the Constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Lets just parse this if we will. "glorified secretary" That is about as close to the mark as an arrow can be.
"we are confident he will be able to persuade the federal agency that Youngstown’s population decline and the loss of jobs demand a reassessment of the wastewater treatment plant’s needs." You live in a dream world when the Federal EPA will acquiesce to the needs or wants of a local Government entity.
"Unless it can be shown that usage has remained the same or has increased since the time the agreement was signed, there is absolutely no justification for maintaining the same level of bureaucracy." Are you folks on the Editorial board really that stupid,do you really have any idea of the subject matter that you comment on,or do you just like to blather on about things you have absolutely no CLUE about.
"The U.S. EPA should not get away with making unreasonable demands on the city of Youngstown." Lets see,the EPA has chased jobs out of this Country by tying the hands of Manufacturers for well over thirty years and NOW they "should not get away "with it,get a clue will you.
"The qualifications for the job of “pretreatment administrative assistant” in an advertisement on the city’s website show that this isn’t a position requiring a four-year college degree or intimate knowledge about the treatment of waste water." Your first comment about the "glorified secretary" was as accurate as could be,the last person that filled this position never set foot in a waste water treatment plant untill his pre-ordained job interview.The only thing going for him was his relationship to MS Consultants
"Very few low-level government employees are deserving of $50,000 — and full benefits." Wow , what a self-righteous,self-glorification,self-absorption,self-concieted view you have of yourself Bertram,when you think about it all you have to do is write one thousand words a week and you get paid just as much money as someone who will have to sign thier name to official documents and risk going to jail if there is any errors,wrongdoing or funny business going on behind thier backs. The Vindy has cried for years now about Government doing more for less with the taxpayers money,maybe you should take a page from your own stale playbook.For the last decade the content of your stories seems to have been researched and written by a highschool newspaper,and what have we gotten? Higher costs at the newsstands,inferior stories,and over-paid Editorial Writer's. I wonder why I still read these tiresome articles!
justin 2204 "Silence Do Good, maybe you should have stayed true to your name. The schools are "turning out Thugs and Idiots"? Ouch. I'm neither. And if some students are, who turned them out? I'd say their families turned them out for the schools to deal with." You are right , it is the parents that are creating these thugs and idiots.
"If the schools create thugs and idiots, then the police must create crime and the fire department must create arson." A carefull readind of MY words will show that I never said the Schools created these thugs and idiots.You need to be a little more carefull in your readings And thank you for the correct spelling on red herring I still have not figured out how to correct my errors once it has been submitted.
"Silence Do Good, maybe you should have stayed true to your name" This confirms my fears of the Youngstown school system,you have NO CLUE as to the meaning of this name do you.It is something that should have been taught in your American history class.It is a pseudonym used by a man over two hundred years ago so he could remain anonymous but still have his voice heard.I would hope you would look it up and learn a little history . "If I can think of these in 8th grade, wouldn't you think an adult could too" It is a sad reality but you might want to learn it now,some parents dont give a darn about thier kids education.This is clearly not the case with you ,you should be thankful for that.
I think it was Ross Perot that said we will hear a great sucking sound heading south if he did not get elected.This Mayor want's you to think there is going to be a great sucking sound as City workers head south if they are allowed to live were they want to. Well the winds have not picked up one iota,and they wont either,this is just another example of the vindy carrying the water for Cith Hall. Jay if you want to keep good workers in this town work on the crime rate,enforce the laws that are on the books.The other MAJOR hurdle is the School System,which City Hall has no control over.The schools in Youngstown have been turning out Thugs and Idiots at a vastly disproportinate rate then the rest of the State,how in Gods name do you stop that trend. In a nutshell this is Youngstowns dilemma,the residency issue is a red hearing that the Politicians have grabbed a hold of because they do not have the fortitude to take on the REAL PROBLEMS of Youngstown.
