Open Thread Wednesday

Good point. Move beyond using only words. As a matter of curiosity, which actions have you been involved with personally? That may help others in our neighborhood to choose their own routes to effect change. Of course, this conversation is taking place in the medium of blog posts that often function as an effective bulletin board for calls to action.

I’m pretty sure all that was more clever in your mind than it actually sounds here. However, since this is not English class, your points are not only silly but irrelevant. Please refrain from addressing me unless you have something on topic to contribute. I have a sinking suspicion you don’t because only petty, non thinkers resort to ad homa.

We have the “2:08″ early AM nightly overflights, well, NOW there’s the 4:00 PM to about 6:30 PM mystery dangerously low buzzing of the Heights.
Shaking often violently everything from the fourth floor up! The BIG question is, what are the looking for?

Note: I attended a NGO gathering last week when someone from the NY Times asked a speaker how much nuclear material and how many nuclear devices are now MISSING and in no way accounted for…he was quickly shushed by the host!

But the question is, if certain sensors, including radiation sensors, ONLY or best work at very low altitude…. What EXACTLY are these overflights doing?
Doesn’t anyone in officialdom or our wonderful uncontrolled press think the citizens have a right to know what dangers may exist resident in an area?

But if you don’t exactly like your dinner vibrated or your sleep being made impossible, or your kids jolted awake at 3 AM there ARE a number of
places you can register your questions as to why this is happening and how glad you are this is being done to your family: First, you can get off your complaining duffs and call the 84 Precinct direct line: 718 875 6228 you can also storm call the NYPD Aviation Div at Floyd Bennet Field. (718) 692 1220 …Then you can call the FAA office of inspector general. 202 366-1514 or 800-424-9017…Tell them that you think there may be a “possiblity” of nonfeasance or malfeasance existing in the lack of overview of these flights and you’d like them to investigate….

Tell them all that you know the downlinks from a LOT of these flights are on FEDERAL frequencies (take our word for it) but couldn’t they possibly shed SOME light on what the overflights are and what they are LOOKING FOR?

You’re either a troll (in which case you’ve definitely gotten your catch from your bait) or a pompous ass. Insulating your kids from the real world will only make them even less empathetic you you apparently are. Homelessness is a problem to be solved, to be sure, but blaming the homeless themselves, let alone advocating that we pay *other* people to go harass them until they move on doesn’t solve anything except shift your inability to explain the real world to your kids.

I mean, seriously, that’s one of the douchiest things I’ve ever seen proposed on this blog. How about you try and raise money for homes for the homeless instead? (which has been shown to work better even than services for helping th problem). Or go talk to your job about whether their hiring practices discriminate against the homeless? Or at least how about you stop turning up your nose at people down on their luck who have just as much right to the [public street as you do since you don’t seem to do anything else that will help, you can at least remove yourself as a problem, eh?

Has anyone noticed the brown paper on the windows of Bevecco? Are they closing? Renovating?
