But how you figure prisoners are the most vulnerable? They are those with the least respect for their fellow man, or his rights. What of the elderly, homeless, and mentally afflicted?
I must disagree, you cannot teach what is missing here in a "class", this needs to be imparted from a loved, respected major to a minor. In a familial or close social environment. Today, at 48 years, I am still guided in respect and restraint by what I learnt at the feet of my grandmother and grandaunt as a child. They formed me insofar as my respect for self and those around me, and my duty to do what is wise and prudent. Whenever I'm inclined to stray from those principles, its the sense of shame before their eyes that pushes against temptation.
As a former cyclist, this has concerned me for some time. Our motorists are not generally very attentive, and lone cyclists can get too comfortable on these streets. Before sunrise the other morning I pulled out of my community and almost T-boned a cyclist passing with no lights, not even reflective clothing. Also something should be done about them utilizing JFK and TWD for group cycling, its too dangerous with our local driver base.
How tragic. Our lives can be turned upside down with a passing thunderstorm. Take comfort in the life you had together Mrs. Sweeting, and see him in the faces of your children. My deepest sympathies.
I agree. The challenge is in an ignorant populace that seemingly struggles to observe basic protocols for abatement of spread... recall that lockdowns were not the first option...
So, will the government finally use this opportunity to do what needs to be done, or will they kick the can down the road for another 5 years? Shut the airline down. Subsidize worthy local airlines for domestic routes, reopen the flag carrier for international flights only, homogeneous fleet, simplified route, supplement tourist travel ourselves as opposed to laying prostrate before Delta.
So how is it that the police can "decline to give details of the escape?" Will the details of their screwup affect some ongoing intelligence operation elsewhere? I think not. We are the public, they work FOR us, we pay their salaries, they are accountable to US.
Wow, an insightful, research and data driven article..... I could get used to this! no echoing of what "da Minister also said....". You know those people who wander outside giggling during the eye of the hurricane, against the advice of sober folk? They're the ones screaming for help once caught in the storm having strayed just a bit too far from home.....human nature spans a spectrum.
