Let's stop and think about recent news articles. Mr. Freshwater, MVHS Teacher, is being ridiculed for having a Bible on his desk. Mr. Dann is being ridiculed for having an affair with one of his staff members. Who is to judge whether Mr. Dann is allowed to have an affair or not? Oh yes, I know now----we were first warned of the evil of having an affair outside of marriage in THE BIBLE, the best book ever written, and the exact book that is on Mr. Freshwater's desk. Hmmmmm! The same type of situation was shown on the news a few weeks ago when two ohio teens died as a result of an auto accident, the one teens twin was not injured. What was the first thing that people did? Gathered outside of the HIGH SCHOOL to have a PRAYER vigil. No we cannot have prayer in schools, but when tragedy strikes what is the first thing people do? Pray! In my opinion I think that this is a sure sign that until prayer and the Bible are allowed back in the classroom, the courtrooms, the state offices, etc...you are going to see that people are going to continue to be unsettled. And parents, are you teaching your children that they should obey and respect the Bible, or would you prefer to have them be in a scandal all over the front page of the paper? May 13, 2008, 12:11 pm Let Dann clean up the Blackwell mess over the bonuses and then let's work on getting him out of office. May 13, 2008, 9:59 am Hey, what do you expect with the example we had with a former President who disgraced the White House with his affairs. Did they get rid of him?? NO!! So, now we have others in our government who think they can do what our leader of our country did in the Big House of all. Someone asked if there is any morals in this country. Doesn't look like it in our government offices now does it. So,get used to this kind of thing happening because it is going to get worse not better in this country since we keep electing these jokers over and over agian. May 12, 2008, 4:13 pm Bring back Betty Montgomery. Yes if he fired the others for the very same thing, then he should step down. May 12, 2008, 1:40 pm He should resign for his own self-preservation. Still, I don't quite think it was an impeachable offense. Impeachment proceedings will only encourage other politicians to hide everything - at least he openly admitted to his affair. And, he's not quite as hypocritical as Eliot Spitzer. May 12, 2008, 8:30 am It seems like he was not in office long enough to have created an environment such as the one which exists, yet, here we are. He was elected, in the wake of a corrupt Taft administrarion, especially to clean up 'Dodge' yet he hired his cronies to run the office. That was a fundamentally bad move and it tells me that he was the wrong man for the job that he was elected to do. He will be an embarassment until he is gone -- much like Taft and his cronies were. May 11, 2008, 3:07 pm If he has broken the the law then let him pay for the crime. If it's a moral issue, most people dont care, some do most don't care. He'll answer for it in the End... May 11, 2008, 2:56 pm Neither. The only thing that poor man is guilty of is getting to know the people he serves even better. If I were in a similar public sevice job I would do the some thing. People should count themselves lucky to have gotten that close to him. A little horse play and joking around never hurt anyone. May 10, 2008, 3:37 pm I realize that none of us are perfect. However, he has taken an office in which he is being seen and serving the public. He should be setting a good example. Doesn't anyone have any morles anymore?? May 10, 2008, 10:22 am Well,seems like it should be between God, his wife and him. Doesnt seem like he was S****ing the public. "He who is with sin let him cast the first stone." 'nough said. May 10, 2008, 9:16 am Well, it seems to me that the integrity of the office should call for a resignation, not a force-out ... I would wish for [his resignation], to save the integrity [of] the office itself and the trust that’s involved with public service. May 9, 2008, 11:34 pm I’m disappointed. I really don’t know what it is with people that are in higher offices, they think they can get away with anything ... I’m on the border [as to whether he should resign or be impeached] ... My gut reaction is: just get him out of office. But, what is the process by which we get somebody else in there? ... [Impeachment] is so much money, we’re paying for that every day ... I’m just thinking of, you know, the consequences for taxpayers. May 9, 2008, 11:34 pm Well, I think that it’s kind of ironic and I think that it’s interesting to see how the Attorney General is hanging on and just doesn’t recognize what’s going on ... I think that it’s time [for him] to go ... I think he should resign. I think impeachment is going to be a process that is sort of the ultimate thing if he doesn’t resign. It’s just amazing to me that he just doesn’t own up to it and bow out. May 9, 2008, 11:34 pm It’s a little unbelievable. I think he’s created a work environment that is not conducive to the Attorney General’s Office ... I think he should resign, but what he has done probably does not reach the level of impeachment. May 9, 2008, 11:34 pm Well, I think he [Marc Dann] clearly has lost the public’s trust. I do think he should resign, but I also know that ... it’s also going to be difficult to impeach him. I don’t know if the impeachment laws expand so much to where what has happened is an impeachable offense. May 9, 2008, 11:33 pm I think it’s a bunch of junk. I think it’s awful. I hope they impeach him ... I think it’s an awful think that he’s still there. May 9, 2008, 11:33 pm |
