only spare as much time as you want to addressing all of the concerns
spouted off in the messages.

I want to go back to a thread I threw out a few days ago, and no one picked
up.
The mayor and chief have touted a re-deployment of Minneapolis officers to
the Minnesota Gang Strike Force - in fact, it is central to their response
to the recent gang killings.
However, Minneapolis deployments to
I don't get what G. R. Anderson is saying about
R. T. Rybak. Seems to me if there was any
mistake (and I don't buy that there was), it
was on the part of the guy responsible for law
enforcement, Chief Olson. And till recently,
everyone is saying Rybak didn't approve of Olson.
But if you think
Are most of the calls from this outfit being made to residents of 3rd ward
where the council race is going on (and where police issues have been

And it has not been a perfect process, but
as the process moves forward were
Step 1: Develop a sense of humor. We can't move forward with the weight
of the world on our shoulders.
Step 2: Attract money: Start singing the refrain We want you, we need
you, we love you to businesses - large and small. Let's clear the
pathways to prosperity - stop putting up roadblocks.
I have found the Greens thoughtful, earnest, passionate, idealistic, and
fast learners. Green Party meetings are too cumbersome for me, however,
so I've preferred to concentrate on my more immediate interests and
there I find myself in company locally with solid elected
representatives who happen
On Friday, Edwards said he learned from Campbell Glenn that an alliance of black
ministers had sent a letter to Mayor R.T. Rybak earlier this year asking for
mediation. They had already created a mediation team, he said he was told.

I also agree with Ms. Nompelis' assessment and that is how it worked in
Ventura Village until the most recent change that limited membership to

eliminated many folks as members who operate businesses but do not own

There are other examples around town that demonstrate how readily
propertied elites find ways to retain control - power - by
systematically excluding alternative voices. I won't name names; the

Hi Chris,
I get mine in downtown Minneapolis at Moose and Sadie's coffeehouse at 3rd
Ave and 2nd Street N. I also just saw some in the basement parking area of
the River Towers condos too. So any place that has City Pages, Pulse,
TCIGD, Computer User, One Nation News, Lavender, etc. is a good bet
