Car Show on the Square, Part 1

Nice Old Ford, trailer, gas powered wagon, ice box, and of course a blender for refreshments on that hot day at the track or game. What a rig, very cool, slick as greased light'n.

Cool "Power Wagon", trailer and of course a portable blender.
Muscle Chevys, a '58 and a '55 (My, my how Broad Street has changed.)

This Saturday was a beautiful mild day for a car show. Great show with prizes, kiddie rides, food and great cars. The number and quality of muscle cars was impressive. Great show for the promoter and the City of Scottsboro. Debbie Woods was responsible for the coordination of this show, her efforts and professional abilities displayed were admirable. Many visitors from out of town were present for the show. Payne's was doing a brisk business, I stopped by for a Cherry Milk Shake. Good food and great treats may be enjoyed at Payne's on the Square.

An answer to this question.

Shrinking Liberty and a shrinking dollar is taking a toll on the American dream. It is being replaced by the New Word Order and the plan for World Social domination by "corporate social authority."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Symbols of The New World Order
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>North American Union
Wall Street is a Train Wreck. Unfortunately, we the taxpayers are forced to bail the social corporatist out of their mismanagement and errors by their paid Washington socialist politicians. Socialism is destroying the Republic!
>
A question asked by a poster on al.com, Scottsboro forum. Can somebody tell me in 3 sentences or less what this bailout does for the USA?
>>

Yes. (1 sentence) It moves us closer to the North American Union. (2 sentences) Part of the Socialist scheme for world domination, the New World Order. (3rd sentence)

>>>

Since I've answered your question now I ask of you and others to listen to some facts concerning the growing U.S. Socialist menace in a few "you tube" videos. Socialism that is being forced on American citizens is destroying our nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2MAFMiUURI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gZuG-52js0 It is the socialist corporate political philosophy pandered on the citizenry by corporate charlatans and their life time paid politicians that has caused the current financial crisis. New World Order Socialists working for you the taxpayer, working you out of all your cash and lifetime savings.

"Of, By, and For the People?"
Part of an article by Sheldon Richman. "We live by myths. For example, most of us believe we live in a representative, constitutional republic (sometimes erroneously called a democracy). Everyone learned this at school, and the belief follows most people throughout life. If things are not exactly to their liking, they fall back on the belief: "That's the price we pay for living in a republic." The word "republic" comes from the Latin res (thing) and publica (people). In a republic sovereignty is with the people, not the political leaders. That's the theory anyway. Unfortunately, in practice the people are usually relegated to secondary status. The political class calls the shots, and the people are lucky if they even know what is going on. Much of the time the politicians and bureaucrats act as though what they are doing is none of the public's business. To keep the people from knowing too much, the government has a variety of methods for shrouding its activities and otherwise making it difficult for citizens to understand and oppose policy initiatives. It ought to be clear that most of what government does is beyond the gaze of average people. They are understandably busy raising families, putting food on the table, and cultivating friendships. It's a rare person who has time to keep up with the arcane activities of legislators and bureaucrats. "

Banned once again on al.com for telling the truth about corporate socialism and misappropriation in Scottsboro Alabama.Ban lifted in short order.

This time it was a short ban, 1 day. Usually the ban lasts for 3 days if it is temporary. Since the ban has been removed I'll remove my very negative writings within concerning local Democrats and al.com. I will leave the comment concerning one removed post on al.com that is applicable to this issue.

Evidently this was the statement that resulted in the latest ban on al.com: "I particularly like this statement from Domino's CEO, "...we will be turning Fire Trucks into Domino's delivery vehicles..." yea, I'm sure some revel at that scheme, particularly Domino's Pizza management.
-Placing box top Fire Prevention info on the Domino's boxes is a great idea. Having Fireman give public presentations about Fire Prevention in schools and community areas is a wonderful idea. Maybe pizza businesses or others would support free pizza's or other food stuffs during community events while making presentations on Fire Prevention, another great idea. Our fireman are wonderful, dedicated community minded folks. Bad management decisions may have other longer lasting consequences.
-Delivering pizza in city vehicles and advertising the one pizza company who also discriminates and does not provide equal services, utilizing city equipment and persons in Domino's advertising scheme is a bad idea.
-Another thought on this issue. If I want a government agency in my home I will ask for them. I do not need a government agency inspecting my home unless I requested them to be there, particularly under the auspices of a pizza delivery.
-Then there is the problem of liability, I wonder if the City Attorney was contacted concerning the liability issues involved? Did the City Council or Mayor approve of the use of city equipment and persons? It has not been a topic of discussion at any council meeting. "

May folks be allowed to discuss controversial issues in Scottsboro, Alabama? I hope so, it's the American way. Advance, al.com, your the main game in town as to discussion forums. Your responsibility is important and weighs heavy as a responsible open communication source amongst the citizenry.

Racial Discrimination/Class Discrimination, Domino's Pizza, Smoke Detector Inspections Have a Common Factor.

Logo fire badge from National Fire Protection Association site showing a Domino's Pizza Fire Badge. Maybe Domino's Pizza would like to buy fuel for the fire trucks since they have conned their way into this advertising scheme utilizing city equipment. Corporate advertising under the auspices of fire protection. Corporate socialism being allowed by socialist politicians.

Domino's Pizza does not deliver to all areas of this city. The city has created an unfair advantage for Domino's Pizza by advertising and supporting only Domino's Pizza. It would serve the public interest to incorporate all pizza businesses and other businesses into National Fire Protection Week at public locations.

While reading this mornings Daily Sentinel and sipping my morning coffee I noticed an interesting article about fire safety. It seems the areas Fire Marshall, Chuck Bryant will escort Domino's Pizza Drivers tonight from 5-7PM. Mr. Bryant states, "We are excited to be working with Domino's Pizza to promote good Fire Safety." Sounds like a good idea. The article goes on to say that where pizza is delivered homes will be inspected to see if the smoke detectors work in the homes. Pizza is free the article says and goes on to say that a new "Oven Baked Sandwich" will also be given away to each home inspected.
>

Fire Safety is an important issue. Many lives every year are saved due to properly working smoke detectors. Smoke detector batteries should be checked frequently to insure a properly functioning detector. Day light savings time change is a good time to check and replace batteries if needed.
>>

This seemingly innocuous activity has a down side. No, it is not the fact of a government official entering your home to inspect your smoke detectors as that is on a volunteer basis. However, there is something else, much deeper and darker, a secret that our quaint city likes to keep quite. I will not keep quite about it.
>>>

Racial and economic class Discrimination, a violation of Federal Law. The Fire Marshall, Mr. Bryant is a government employee. Domino's Pizza will not deliver to the poor areas of our city where there is a large population of minorities. They will not deliver to Lakeside Mobile Home Community or areas off of North Houston St. I guess minorities and poor folks do not deserve pizza from Domino's, nor to have their smoke detectors inspected by the Scottsboro Fire Department thru an organization that discriminates. Now I'm sure the Scottsboro Fire Department is not aware of Domino's Pizza's policy of active racial and economic class discrimination, or their delivery policies, they will be today. Did the City Council approve of this use of city personnel and equipment advertising and delivering Domino's Pizza? Why is Domino's Pizza dictating the use of fire protection equipment and personnel? Why is the City of Scottsboro utilizing City equipment and personnel to advertise Domino's Pizza?
>>>>

Personally I order my Pizza's from Papa John's Pizza, better product, plus they will deliver to my home. I would never do business with an organization who discriminates on the base of race or economic class.
>>>>>

It's a shame the Daily Sentinel did not check out the full situation before they published the article giving Domino's the free advertisement. In fairness, how were they to know, I'm sure they acted in good faith reporting the story as they saw it. Now the opportunity exists to bring this business's practices to light. Thank you Fire Department and Daily Sentinel. And for the management of Domino's Pizza, particularly the former area supervisor who approved the discriminatory actions, the old saying holds true, "what goes around comes around."

Pizza redlining cases: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_/ai_62990475 In the case of Lakeside Mobile Home Community there has never been an incident involving attacks on any drivers. The pizza company has stated that they will not deliver due to poor lighting, another untrue statement, there are street lights in the Mobile Home Community.
Plus, there are other areas in Scottsboro which have much poorer lighting than Lakeside. The problem in Scottsboro is now exasperated due to a government agency participating with Domino's Pizza in a smoke detector inspection program. NFPA and Domino's Pizza: http://www.nfpa.org/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=1680&itemID=40431&URL=Learning/Public%20education/Fire%20Prevention%20Week/For%20the%20fire%20service/Domino?s%20to%20deliver%20fire%20prevention%20messages&cookie%5Ftest=1 This also raises a question of government sponsoring a private corporate enterprise over other like businesses. Will the city of Scottsboro also provide free advertising for other local pizza companies.

Many thanks to the dedicated employees of the Scottsboro Fire Department, they do an outstanding job. This in no way reflects on the fine men and women of the Scottsboro Fire Department and their dedication to the citizens of Scottsboro. They do an outstanding job and put their lives on the line for us daily, God Bless all of you in service to our community.

City Council Race Poll Results

Place 1: total votes in poll 213, Mr. Thurmond Bell-101 votes (47.5%) ; Ms. Sandy Walker-112 votes (52.5%). Place 2: total votes in poll 202, Mr Jim Boatner-79 votes (39%); Mr. Gary Speers-123 votes (61%). ( Percentages rounded up or down to the nearest 1/2 percent.)

Winners and losers predictions based on the poll results. Place 1, Mr. Bell and Ms. Walker; although Ms. Walker leads the poll, it is my opinion there must be greater than a 5% margin to make the prediction of a winner and loser, it is not there. The Place 1 position is to close to call. Place 2, Mr. Boatner and Mr. Speers; it is my opinion that Mr. Speers will win the Place 2 race.
