Don't you have a life that you can go live? Instead of getting on threads where you have nothing to add to the conversation?

Throwing another temper tantrum?
Should I expect another nastygram in my inbox anytime soon?
Keep on confirming my suspicions.

No, I don't believe taxpayers should have to pay for any towns art.

you want people to assimilate and by your reaction to these cultural murals you would also like them to forget their heritage. you can't seem to separate the issues from the art. you allow your personal bias to overrule your rational and compassion, by refusing to see any good this art could do for a struggling neighborhood.

All Americans have culture. I don't see the Irish asking for a special mural, or taking over a park. I don't recall an "Irish Park" in America.

public art has been around for decades. there is a process to it and no I doubt a mural of the big bad bin laden would go up in a public space but to answer that thought, yes I support public art even if I don't like it.

So, Bin Laden is big and bad and Che & Castro are Freedom Fighters, just wow, is all I can say!!

BTW the flicker account with the great pics. yes that is how ca. has always looked. do you not like cultural dance with costumes either?

Like I said, it looks more like Mexico City, then California. It use to be a place for Mexican-Americans that fled the revolution. Look back at pics, it wasn't riddled with gangs and drug dealers. Why reward bad behavior. We'll see how our money is "wasted" in a few years when, those citizens that love their community sit, as the gangs vandalize the mural. Which, was one of the reasons they had to paint it.

This mural isn't the only thing our taxpayer money is paying, a fitness gym for gangs to workout in..........
$4.2 million redo: Logan Heights Physical Fitness Center greener - El Paso Times
The renovation cost about $4.2 million and was paid for by federal stimulus money.

I don't throw temper tantrums. Not since I was 4.
If you think "LEAVE ME ALONE!" is a "nastygram" then you are way too sensitive.

If it was in all caps with an exclamation point, then it absolutely counts as both a "nastygram" and a temper tantrum.

If you're going to share your opinions, you have to expect criticism.

True. It was not intended as a temper tantrum, or a "nastygram". Shes just so........................ I don't even have a word for her.

I think I remember seeing her give you some advice about posting a thread one time. Based on what I've seen, I don't think she has a problem with you, just your attitude.
