The ignorance and bigotry in Victoria makes me want to cry. Obama may not be the best President, but....he's OUR President. If he were white, would his birth, his education etc. be questioned? It's pretty obvious "ya can't fix stupid".
I don't know the particulars of the case, nor just what was enlarged to 8X10 or what the mans intent for the pictures might have been. That said: Should the mothers of little girls who allow their daughters to wear such bathing attire accept some of the responsibility? I agree with some of the other posters. If you are in public, you have no expectation of privacy. If the man had been standing under a set of steps photographing up a woman's skirt; that would be problematic.
Who is Dow trying to fool? They don't know what was being uploaded? When's the last time you didn't know what you were bringing into your house especially if you bought it? Give me a break.
Good job, Arlene. The whole "legend" is a crock. It's been checked out with the Chief of Police and the DeWitt County Sheriff. Some people will do anything for a buck. The Felician Sisters were wonderful and did the community a great service. If the hospital is haunted, the ghosts have been brought in with the antiques that are being used to make the place look good for the photographers.
Texas A & I joined the A & M system with all kinds of pie-in-sky promises from the Board of Regents. Guess what they got. A & I Alumni are trying to get the name restored and need your help. The following was copied from the Alumni webpage verbatim.
TAMUK receives NO funding from The Texas A&M University System, so there will be no loss in funding with the restoration of the A&I name.
Alumni have agreed to pay for the actual cost of restoring the name, so there will be no costs to the university or taxpayers for name restoration.
Texas A&I University will remain a member of the Texas A&M University System, as it was in the years 1989 - 1993 before the Regents broke their promise.
All new buildings are paid for by the issuance of bonds paid for from student tuition. The Texas A&M University System has not paid for any new buildings.
TAMUK does not have a Pharmacy School. In 2001 the Texas Legislature authorized the creation of Pharmacy school at TAMUK. The building was built and faculty hired. From 2001 to 2005, the Texas A&M University System failed to do its job in obtaining operational funding for the new pharmacy school at TAMUK. Once the System coerced the TAMUK president into relinquishing control to the A&M Health Science Center, their lobbyists went to work and got immediate funding. Result: 320 PhD students for them and nothing for TAMUK except a 30 year bond payment of $1.3 million per year. No tuition from Pharmacy students goes to TAMUK. TAMUK students pay the $1.3 million bond payment each year on the Pharmacy building. The Texas A&M Health and Sciences Center pays less the $5,000 each year (not month) to rent the building.
TAMUK no longer has the premier program in Natural Gas Engineering - It no longer exists.
The once highly regarded MBA program in business has been indefinitely suspended and an "online" program (think DeVry Institute... credits not transferable) is being proposed as a replacement
Corpus Christi and Kingsville are doing everything they can to keep the Navy. What is the problem in Goliad? Is this the will of the majority of the people in the area or just a few of the big wigs? I've lived with the sounds of the trainers for years and they are more joy than disturbance. Get a grip people. We need to keep the Navy in South Texas for economic as well as patriotic reasons.
I enjoy the things you write. I'm glad we will still hear from you. Best of luck in your new adventure.
As well as he is liked in his district, he'll lose a statewide race. He does a great job where he is.
Keep in mind that Hotel/Motel tax money has specific guidelines/laws that govern how this money can be spent. Food kitchens, homeless shelters may not be among the causes on which this designated tax can be spent.
