Won’t happen. Most of the local media (one daily newspaper, one 24-7 news station, and 3 alphabet networks) side with the downtown business establishment democrats.
The city has conspired against the citizenry.
I still want to know all family ties between the lobbyists, politicians, and corporations involved. There was a multistate lobbying corruption case that went all the way to Mayor Lee P. Brown’s personal aide.
Follow the money. It’s clear there has been conspiracy to keep the cameras up, it’s unclear whether it is criminal.
This is not just about cameras. This is about Houston city government that spends more energy and finance on doing whatever the hell they WANT to do rather than what the voters demand they do or prohibit them from doing.
The only way to turn back the tide of tyranny in this country is, unfortunately, a revolution.
Think of the movie Swordfish at the local level, all the way to the global level. It will have to be an underground operation supported by ordinary people. Flame away.
Told you.
I’ve been thinking that perhaps that is the next step.
Seriously? Suppose he refused? What then? Are they going to impeach him? How do they enforce his "choice"?
Just get 250 yds away and put a .233 through the box.
How do they enforce his “Choice” if it goes against them is what I meant.
223 oops
Yup - a used tire and 1/2 gallon of gasoline will fix just about anything!...red
And the sheeple just accepted it bitch for a day & moved on. I doubt that there is anything that true Americans can do to not see a total takeover by the left. Don't count out Big Ears to not win again in 2012. The PTB will set it up to split the conservative vote & w/o any fraud protection, which the worthless (R)s won't attack....well, we are screwed.
More evidence of the infantile attitude of the public: they want to be able to do anything they want. It is the true “triumph of the will”: the ego-first attitude of modern Americans. This is not the genuine spirit of Liberty.
So I run a red light? I wanted to, and no one should tell me I can’t, or even watch what I am doing. Too bad if I should hit anyone, because my will comes first.
I should also be able to marry anyone I wish, even perhaps an animal; and take marijuana or anything else, and go anywhere I want; steal confidential information including government secrets; never be thoroughly checked at an airport; and never have anyone else criticize me (lest I be “offended”). All my “rights” should be absolute, and my responsibilities removed or forgotten.
This would add up to an ideal paradise for immature-minded marshmellows in a world with no threats, and all desires provided by endless debt.
Unfortunately, we live in a world of hungry beasts, where regimes made for coddling infants will get devoured alive.
See my post 32. Great minds and all that...
That’s great. Shave the heads of 1000 matches and let her rip.
Kickback’s anyone ?
Yeah, peons, ya think ya vote counts in referendums like this.
It don’t.
Just because voters pass a ballot measure doesn’t mean that it should be implemented.
Geez, it’s bad enough at the federal and state level, but in city government it’s almost impossible to tell who’s wearing the black hats and who’s wearing the white hats. Nevertheless, if CHANGE is going to come to America it has to start at the grass roots, with the cities and counties.
