Re: “Self-serving Senate's failed gun control legislation”
Yikes! So if 90 percent of the country is in favor of background checks for gun and ammo purchases at conventions and on the Internet, which ARE NOT checked currently, meaning crazy people can purchase such weapons and show a up at a movie theater and kill people that could be my friends and family and that's democracy???
Re: “What if we're chasing the wrong 'schools' fix?”
I love it when, in the middle of a city schools discussion, someone ALWAYS says that the problem is parenting. Of course that's a problem. But unless you have a solution for that, the schools still need to deal with poorly parented students. That's where the discussion has to start.
I am continually sorry that Manny Rivera's Children's Zone never went anywhere. That would be where the magic would happen.
Re: “Degrees of debt”
I do not understand why someone would pay $80,000 to RIT for a degree in journalism. A little research, which some one interested in that field should find easy to do, would clearly show that a) there are very few jobs in that field, and b)those jobs are unlikely to go to an RIT grad when there are so many highly regarded j-schools in the nation already producing too many grads for the job market. RIT is a TECHNICAL school, fer cryin' out loud.
Re: “City should turn down University Ave. project”
What I see is a fairly good-looking apartment complex being built on an almost nasty site across from the Gleason Works. How is that a bad thing? That the George Eastman House would prefer to have ownership of the site, but has clearly been unwilling to deal honestly with the folks who own it, well, huh, too bad. Right now, if you are visiting the GEH grounds, the view is "impacted" by the unsightly lot on University.
