HEY,
IT WAS SO CUTE TO SEE THAT LITTLE MOLE THIS MORNING. THEY ARE SO FAST. I THINK HE ALMOST SCARED TIM OFF OF HIS CRUTCHES THIS MORNING. HEY, WATCH OUT FOR THOSE MOLES.
I KNOW MY BLOG IS LATE, BUT I HAD TO ADD IT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME SINCE I HEARD THIS COMMENT. EARLY THIS WEEK, MAYOR FRANCES SLAY MADE A COMMENT CONCERNING THE PROTESTS THAT THE STUDENTS AT RIVERVIEW GARDENS. IT WAS ASKED OF HIM HOW HE FELT ABOUT THE TAKE OVER AND HE ANSWERED THAT IT IS NECESSARY .... THEN HE STATED AS A SUPPORTING EXAMPLE WAS THE STUDENTS PROTESTING AND INSTEAD OF THE TEACHERS TELLING THEM TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL WHERE THEY BELONGED, THEY TOLD THEM TO KEEP SUPPORTING THEIR PRINCIPAL (GIVE OR TAKE A FEW WORDS)... THAT COMMENT BOTHERED ME. WHEN DO YOU EVER TELL YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. NOW, IN TELLING THEM TO FIGHT YOU ALSO HAVE TO TEACH THEM HOW TO FIGHT. I WOULD NEVER TELL MY SON NOT TO FIGHT AND STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN BECAUSE IF YOU ARE SOUND AND TRUE YOUR VOICE SHOULD BE HEARD, BUT IN THE RIGHT WAY. NOW, MY SUGGESTION TO THE STUDETNS IS TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY DESERVE AN ANSWER AND THEY SHOULD GET IT. ANOTHER POINT THEY SHOULD GET IS TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. HAVE A LEADER OF YOUR VOICE WHO CAN EXPRESS YOUR FEELING AND VIEW POINTS DECENT AND IN ORDER, NOT VIOLENTLY. I AM VERY PROUD THAT THESE STUDENTS ARE NOT BOWING DOWN AND THEY ARE SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT BECAUSE WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE TIMES WHERE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT AS A PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN, BUT I FEEL ALL RACES AND NATIONALITIES HAVE A VOICE AND THEY SHOULD ALWAYS STAND UP FOR THAT VOICE WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT.
I WAS VERY DISTURBED THAT THE MAYOR WOULD NOT SUPPORT HIS PEOPLE. I COULD SEE IF THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT GOING TO AFFECT THEIR FUTURE, BUT THEY ARE FIGHT FOR SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT AND THE PEOPLE OF ST LOUIS SHOULD THINK ABOUT THIS COME ELECTION TIME.
I LIVE IN EAST SAINT LOUIS, ILLINOIS AND WE HAVE A VERY SUPPORTIVE MAYOR. HE HELPS THE PEOPLE IN EVERY WAY THAT WE CAN AND HE MAKES SURE THAT ALL OF OUR VIEWS ARE HEARD AND WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. YOU ROCK "CARL OFFICER." I ALSO THINK THAT IF THAT SITUATION WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON OUR SIDE OF THE RIVER, HE WOULD HAVE HANDLED IT DIFFERENTLY.
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG BLOG, BUT OUR KIDS HAVE TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD AND THAT REALLY BOTHERED MY SPIRIT WHEN HE MADE THAT STATEMENT.
HELLO ALL
I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE ACCIDENT ON 58TH & STATE THIS MORNING. WE LOST A VERY FREE SPIRITED YOUNG MAN. HE WAS KIND HEARTED, ALWAYS KEPT A SMILE ON HIS FACE, AND HE TREATED YOU WITH RESPECT. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED. ALSO, AS THE SPRING/SUMMER SEASON APPROACHES, LET'S BE CAREFUL AND LOVE EACH OTHER. WE NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU LIVE TODAY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR DEPARTURE TIME IS SO I JUST WANTED TO SPREAD SOME LOVE BECAUSE WE LOST A GOOD YOUNG MAN THIS MORNING TO A TRAGEDY. SOME MIGHT SAY IT WAS NOT HIS TIME, BUT WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS PULLED AND GOD CALLS YOU, THERE IS NO HIDING AND WE MUST ANSWER. LOVE GOD...LOVE YOUR CHILDREN....LOVE YOUR PARTNER...LOVE ALL.......HAVE YOU TOLD SOMEONE THAT YOU LOVED THEM TODAY? ......GUESS WHAT...I LOVE ALL OF YOU.....BE SWEET AND STAY SAFE....
TOI
