		<description>THE RACISM AT THE PHILLY POOL IS A SERIOUS MATTER.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;LEGAL ACTION IS THE SEEMLY SOLUTION.&lt;br&gt;_____________________&lt;br&gt;SCANDALS! SCANDALS! SCANDALS!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;GEORGE W. BUSH IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CRIMINAL STALKER AND SERIAL KILLER!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“In her suit, Margie Schoedinger states that George W. Bush committed sexual crimes against her, organized harassment and moral pressure on her, her family members and close relatives and friends. As Schoedinger said, she was strongly recommended to keep her mouth shut. . . . Furthermore, she alleges that George Bush ordered to show pressure on her to the point, when she commits suicide” (go to Google, type “blog of drizzten Margie Schoedinger,” and hit “Enter”).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“George [Bush is personally complicit] in the death (murder to be precise) of my friend Margie Schoedinger in September of 2003. Determining the exact whereabouts and contacts of . . . George Bush on September 21 thru 22, 2003, should be entirely lacking in difficulty” (Leola McConnell—Nevada Progressive Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McConnell is correct: Bush applying pressure (continuously criminally stalking Margie Schoedinger) purposefully to force Schoedinger to commit suicide does in fact constitute murder where it culminated in her death.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush’s method of murdering Schoedinger cannot exist in a vacuum: he must have murdered other people in the same way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;During Bush’s presidency, of course Bush would have desired to kill people whom he hated or get them out of his way. Insofar as Bush was clearly capable of murdering Schoedinger—even in “broad daylight”—and is clearly capable of getting away with it, in consideration of common sense and the laws of human nature, Bush of course murdered numerous people in the disgusting way he murdered Schoedinger. One can examine public information; in various situations where people who sought to oppose or disadvantage Bush ever so frighteningly ended up “committing suicide”—specifically—Bush murdered them just like he murdered Schoedinger. For example, Bush murdered James Howard Hatfield by continuously criminally stalking Hatfield to the point that Hatfield could not get away from it—purposefully to force Hatfield to commit suicide—and Hatfield committed suicide in desperation to escape. However, the vast majority of such scandalous cases will never come out (the grisly details are typically hard to substantiate). A prosecutor really can lawfully charge a former president with murdering one or more people in the disgusting way Bush murdered Schoedinger. The American people unfortunately live in a world where evil presidents can murder any number of people—figuratively—with a wave of a magic wand and get away with it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(There are thousands of copies of the information above on the Internet. Please feel free to go to any major search engine, type “GEORGE W. BUSH IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CRIMINAL STALKER AND SERIAL KILLER” or “George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her” or “George W.

		<description>&quot;on Aug 1st thru 3rd I&#039;m sending these kids to Disney World, and then to a Disney water park. I want them to know that for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are millions more who will do something kind for them. &quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is great.</description>

		<description>This is fantastic. And he&#039;s shown up all the local shakers and movers, plus the 76ers, Eagles &amp; Phillies who could have given these kids a smile. &lt;br&gt; But his movies etc. are still bamma and stereotypical, and he&#039;s sucking the air out of other forms for our creativity. He still fired all his black writers because they were talking to the union. And he need to bring his churchfolk fans into the 21st Century by being honest (on any level--creative/fiction or documentary or...) about other loves and lifestyles (smile).</description>

		<description>Kudos to Tyler Perry&lt;br&gt;This made me so angry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Since Michael Jackson died I have not watched the news. I have just been&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;so disgusted at how the mainstream media has riddled this family with&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;disrespect, and no matter what anyone, you or I included, might have&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thought of him, the truth of the matter is this - the man was still a&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;human being and his kids and family deserve some privacy and space. And I&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;know that I&#039;m not the only one that feels this way, so I purposely kept&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the TV off. Anyway, I was walking through the house, and I don&#039;t know how&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;this TV was on, but I saw a little boy on the news crying his eyes out. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So I turned it up. Here is this kid talking about being kicked out of the&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Valley Swim Club outside Philadelphia because he was black. Did you hear&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;me? I said, &quot;No way, this can&#039;t be! It&#039;s 2009. I don&#039;t believe this!&quot; But,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know it happens even in this year of Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As I listened to the story the anchorperson went on to talk about a woman&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;named Althea Wright. This young lady started a non-profit called Creative&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steps to help inner-city children. And apparently she had booked the&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Valley Swim Club&#039;s pool and paid for it to be used by the children through&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the summer. As we all know, this is such a great thing. During the summer&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;our kids can get into a lot of trouble if they don&#039;t have something&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;creative to do. Anyway, as the story went on I was shocked to find out&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;that it wasn&#039;t just him but 65 children in all, black and Hispanic kids,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;that were kicked out of the pool. You should Google this story and read it&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;online for yourself. It&#039;s crazy! I went from being mad to being furious.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The news reporter went on to say that the president of the club and its&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;members said, and I quote, &quot;We don&#039;t want to change the complexion of our&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;club.&quot; The president refunded the money of the children and asked them not&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to come back. WHAT?! I couldn&#039;t believe what I was hearing. I said I&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;have to do something for these children. I can&#039;t let them think that they&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;are inferior because of the color of their skin. Then that night I saw&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the president of the Valley Swim Club on the news again saying that he&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;misspoke and that it was a safety issue and the club wasn&#039;t able to&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;accommodate so many children. But the children themselves reportedly said&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;that members were taking their kids out of the pool, and that they were&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;saying things like, &quot;Why are they here?&quot; and &quot;They&#039;re black&quot;, even&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;insinuating that these kids would steal or maybe hurt their children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now get this. A few days later I catch the story again on CNN. This time&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the club was inviting the kids to come and swim. WHAT?! I&#039;m confused. If&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;you refunded the money because there was not enough room in the pool and&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;it was a safety issue then why are you asking the same 65 kids to come&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;back?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is awful, and for anyone that has grown up in the inner-city, you&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;know that one small act of kindness can change your life. These kids see&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the images of President Obama on TV and then they see the drug dealers and&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thugs on the corner. Which do you think is more their reality? One act of&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;kindness, one person telling them that they are special, one moment of&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;encouragement can make them move mountains. I know it to be true because I&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;was one of them. They don&#039;t need to be called names and be told that they&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;are less than, because of the color of their skin or because of where they&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;come from.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was told that one of these children, a seven year old, asked her mother&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;if she was &quot;to black to be in a pool.&quot; How do you answer that? How do you&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;get a seven year old past that? Again, it broke my heart and I wanted to&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;do something, and I feel like you all would want to do something, too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s why I&#039;m telling you this. Since you all have put me in the position&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to be able to do something I feel like by me doing this we are all doing&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;it together. So what I did was on Aug 1st thru 3rd I&#039;m sending these kids&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to Disney World, and then to a Disney water park. I want them to know that&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;millions more who will do something kind for them. This is all about the&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;kids. So, thank you for letting me do this. Thank you so much. And do me&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a favor please. When you see these kids coming through the airport, (I&#039;m&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;sure you won&#039;t be able to miss them. I imagine they are going to be super&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;excited) when you see them in the park and in the hotel, let&#039;s show them a&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;whole lot of love and respect. Show them that they are just as good as&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;anyone else. And show them that they can do or be anything they want to&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;be no matter what any one says!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tyler Perry</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kudos to Tyler Perry<br />This made me so angry.</p>
<p>Since Michael Jackson died I have not watched the news. I have just been</p>
<p>so disgusted at how the mainstream media has riddled this family with</p>
<p>disrespect, and no matter what anyone, you or I included, might have</p>
<p>thought of him, the truth of the matter is this &#8211; the man was still a</p>
<p>human being and his kids and family deserve some privacy and space. And I</p>
<p>know that I&#39;m not the only one that feels this way, so I purposely kept</p>
<p>the TV off. Anyway, I was walking through the house, and I don&#39;t know how</p>
<p>this TV was on, but I saw a little boy on the news crying his eyes out. </p>
<p>So I turned it up. Here is this kid talking about being kicked out of the</p>
<p>Valley Swim Club outside Philadelphia because he was black. Did you hear</p>
<p>me? I said, &#8220;No way, this can&#39;t be! It&#39;s 2009. I don&#39;t believe this!&#8221; But,</p>
<p>I know it happens even in this year of Obama.</p>
<p>As I listened to the story the anchorperson went on to talk about a woman</p>
<p>named Althea Wright. This young lady started a non-profit called Creative</p>
<p>Steps to help inner-city children. And apparently she had booked the</p>
<p>Valley Swim Club&#39;s pool and paid for it to be used by the children through</p>
<p>the summer. As we all know, this is such a great thing. During the summer</p>
<p>our kids can get into a lot of trouble if they don&#39;t have something</p>
<p>creative to do. Anyway, as the story went on I was shocked to find out</p>
<p>that it wasn&#39;t just him but 65 children in all, black and Hispanic kids,</p>
<p>that were kicked out of the pool. You should Google this story and read it</p>
<p>online for yourself. It&#39;s crazy! I went from being mad to being furious.</p>
<p>The news reporter went on to say that the president of the club and its</p>
<p>members said, and I quote, &#8220;We don&#39;t want to change the complexion of our</p>
<p>club.&#8221; The president refunded the money of the children and asked them not</p>
<p>to come back. WHAT?! I couldn&#39;t believe what I was hearing. I said I</p>
<p>have to do something for these children. I can&#39;t let them think that they</p>
<p>are inferior because of the color of their skin. Then that night I saw</p>
<p>the president of the Valley Swim Club on the news again saying that he</p>
<p>misspoke and that it was a safety issue and the club wasn&#39;t able to</p>
<p>accommodate so many children. But the children themselves reportedly said</p>
<p>that members were taking their kids out of the pool, and that they were</p>
<p>saying things like, &#8220;Why are they here?&#8221; and &#8220;They&#39;re black&#8221;, even</p>
<p>insinuating that these kids would steal or maybe hurt their children.</p>
<p>Now get this. A few days later I catch the story again on CNN. This time</p>
<p>the club was inviting the kids to come and swim. WHAT?! I&#39;m confused. If</p>
<p>you refunded the money because there was not enough room in the pool and</p>
<p>it was a safety issue then why are you asking the same 65 kids to come</p>
<p>back?</p>
<p>This is awful, and for anyone that has grown up in the inner-city, you</p>
<p>know that one small act of kindness can change your life. These kids see</p>
<p>the images of President Obama on TV and then they see the drug dealers and</p>
<p>thugs on the corner. Which do you think is more their reality? One act of</p>
<p>kindness, one person telling them that they are special, one moment of</p>
<p>encouragement can make them move mountains. I know it to be true because I</p>
<p>was one of them. They don&#39;t need to be called names and be told that they</p>
<p>are less than, because of the color of their skin or because of where they</p>
<p>come from.</p>
<p>I was told that one of these children, a seven year old, asked her mother</p>
<p>if she was &#8220;to black to be in a pool.&#8221; How do you answer that? How do you</p>
<p>get a seven year old past that? Again, it broke my heart and I wanted to</p>
<p>do something, and I feel like you all would want to do something, too.</p>
<p>That&#39;s why I&#39;m telling you this. Since you all have put me in the position</p>
<p>to be able to do something I feel like by me doing this we are all doing</p>
<p>it together. So what I did was on Aug 1st thru 3rd I&#39;m sending these kids</p>
<p>to Disney World, and then to a Disney water park. I want them to know that</p>
<p>for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are</p>
<p>millions more who will do something kind for them. This is all about the</p>

		<description>Yeah, but - why shut them down for good?  Wouldn&#039;t that eliminate a &#039;source&#039; for summer fun and other activities?  Isn&#039;t there a way to &quot;take over.&quot;</description>
