NPR trying to say something

March 26, 2017

We heard a segment on NPR the other day about recent viewership of television programs that feature black actors.

The commentator made a point of letting us know that non-black people watch the programs.  It sounded like this was a surprise to her.

She gave an example of a TV program where over 60% of the viewers were not black.

The percentage of black members in our population is around 13%.

It is not difficult to figure out how the viewers were predominantly not black.

It seems to us that these guys are trying too hard to make issues out of what in fact is normal.

Have we missed something here?

We deserve better

District 7 candidates and the arena

March 21, 2017

If re-elected what actions will you take relative to the proposed arena?

We sent this message to representative district 7 city representative Lily Limon.

Elizabeth Montelongo, Gerado Chacon, Henry Rivera and Glenn Nathan are also running.  We would like to ask them the same question but have not been able to figure out how to contact them.

Let us know if you can help.

We deserve better

One man’s classification of others

March 7, 2017

“Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas.”

Henry Thomas Buckle
