good article...another classic example of consumers I mean Americans and how out of it they are.This is almost as bad as mccains people using the fact obama was born outside of the USA, when mccain was boen in panama! The one thing I heard that scares me is bush's "sprint to the finish", this country is so winded we might not be able to be carried to the finish of this administrations end.Demo, it this point in the country where "we the people" used to mean somthing, nothing should shock you, people could tell you the names of all britney and brad pitts kids, but could not even tell you who is in senate in their state.

"I spent the first thirty years of my life using energy to turn propellers. I want to spend the next twenty years seeing propellers used to create energy." what a joke, has anyone heard his planes at 500am every moring...his airline in nothing but a taxi service for the elite, "Getting an award for "doing what's right".....are you $%^&^%^$%# me! what do his planes run on, and where does the fuel he burns go! Most of those planes are like 20-30 years old, give me a break...."he actually flew his family to Denmark where similar offshore wind farms have not only been built to great success, but their presence has greatly boosted Danish tourism, ".Wow...I can see it now, lets go to the cape to see turbines! Somethings is rotten in Denmark...Mr.Wolf is full of &*&*&, I wonder what the p[ayoff was for his company!
Getting an award for "doing what's right"...the more I think of this, I do not believe i have ever seen such crap in my life reguarding this windfarm...this little man can take is family to denmark like its nothing, must be nice, while some here cannot even afford to live here. "last March Mr. Wolf stood and testified that the project will not have a negative impact on air navigation"."CPN's only local opponent, the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, which has a former coal industry official as its current C.E.O"....Possee, this is a perfect example of what we have been saying about both sides playing the people, unreal!

Possee, they use that are of mass ave you spoke about as an example of gentrification in most major universities that study urban issues. A professor told me "the problem with mass ave was, the poor were way to close to the rich, so something had to be done". That does not help the fact many still consider Boston a racist city.McMansions are crazy, why these people want these giant houses for what two weeks of vacation? We are going back to the middle ages in the USA... Surfs, peasants and landowners....nothing has changed exept the peasants are too busy and distracted to realize what is happening.
277,000 families lost their homes in July 08...not good.Crusader, I never heard again about the boat trip....how did it go!

Crusdar, I have heard from you in a while, how have things been going, Ned what is that drawing about with the fat lady pointing into the distance with the USA bathing suit?

Dan Wolf...isnt he the one who owns all those 1970's planes that make about 4,567 runs to nantucket a day? one thing good about itis I do not need an alarm clock because I wake up every day in hyannis on that all so important 500am flight!

I am not saying you were lying but that is something they need to spend $$$$ on. Your right, people moving in to the districts can throw u a curve, the feds need to step it up with money, but we do not have it thanks to these occupations, I mean wars.

. "They also spend more that state average for classroom and specialist teachers. And they spend less than half the state average for professional development" if that is true that is not a good stat.

I is amazing(my self included) we talk about "everything but education: social agendae, finances, political correctness",it is just frustration because we care...great kids come from DY no doubt about it! my point was, parents of all social classes need to step up to the dish and contribute to OUR community, reguardless of whre u live.Peter, you have some great points like "14 special needs aids...while retaining her three new deans at a total cost of $400,000" not a lot of common sense here. Where did this woman work before she blessed us here in DY?

Peter, your right, why bother with anything...are the town votes for $$$ best out of 7, or 3 out of 5?

possee,
how much more of a beating can the middle class take? free education,free lunch and breakfast, free housing, and people cannot say "why have kids if u cannot afford them?" That is sooooo mean.....Dy could not even have people chip in for buses because such a high amount of the population get free food, good luck with high fuel costs.

"Woodbury is trying to do away with this and she wants as many children back in the district" to save money, that is all, do not listen to any other BS about inclusion, we have many sick kids(overmedicated, underparented,over diagnosed) in the cape who should be in other places for education, but they use the excuse "we want to include eveyone, nobody should be denied an education"...$$$$..possee, if one can take student loans out for college, why cant they take them out to help pay the towns costs....I bet behaivor straightens up when mommy and daddy have to cut back and get basic cable, drink only 3 times a week and have to split smokes and perscriptions for all their problems...

Some students require "special attention, up to and including in-patient or residential placements costing occasionaly more than $100,000 for a single student for a single year",...although that sounds like real special education, many are behaivor problems that the public schools cannot possibly service, so that is a little misleading Peter, not on your part, but this SPED label. Children from broken homes, get this SPED label, although nothing is wrong, it is the only way they can get "educated". Kids get caught with drugs, weapons, ect ect end up as part of this $$$$, the got to Otis....this is where much of the $$$$ goes...this is happening all over the USA.

buck, your right, she used fear(sound familiar?)to get what she wanted.What is the point of moving people around? These principals know the children well, why move them? I think it is time for dennis to take a walk for their own good.

"this election provides a significant contrast in the direction of this country".?????? OOHH, I get it....one wants to go into Iran, the other wants to raise taxes, one wants to keep illegals, the other...wait...he wants to keep illegals as well??? One wants NCLB..the other....does as well! One changed his mind on drilling oil THAT DOES NOT EXIST...the other changed his mind as well....change is coming, yeah in our paychecks after we cash them...keep on telling yourself we have a 2 party system.

Yarmouth Taxpayer,
What exactly do you mean "Some not even able to vote"....what are you trying to say..illegals, drifters, people who sit in section 8 housing watching MTV?

What else can police in yarmouth do?
This shitheel in charged with "Operating with a Revoked License, Operating to Endanger, Failure to Stop for a Police Officer, Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign, Failure to Stop at a Red Light, Resisting Arrest, and Threat to Kill".Then pulls in the ugliest section 8 dump where nothing but problems have come for the last 10 years... what the hell else are the YPD supposed to do, give me a break, these people did not give a crap when they were driving to endanger, ramming cop cars, running lights, what if a young family was walking across the street!

Possee, I need your help, what are the differences?

Possee, these morons have no idea it was the dems that were pro slavery.....Also, these dummys have not figured out the scandal with Ms. Monica was a distractor to bill "the mad bomber" clinton assault on the Serbs, and one last thing about the party of the people....Madeleine Albright's comments about the poor and suffering in Iraq:
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.

war, budgets, taxes...its all the same lousy crap....look at all the dems who voted for this "war",NCLB, ect ect....Dems think they are smarter than GOP's and GOP's all think they have money, "I was not given a free ride, I worked for everything"....

Independents are growing and growing in almost every state...why??? because both parties have "merged"...when will people accept this? Can anyone tell me what differences their are with our 2 presidential canidates?

Again, fingerpointing...blame blame, "oh it is the GOP's" no wait it is the DEMS...we are playing right into the hands of the republicrats! I am independant as well possee, neither party represents my views or needs. I do not have any info on Mr.Perry, but I do not think he could any worse than anyone who is in now...

"Lacking the concept of history,art and culture, politics, only ensures failure!" That describes the American sterotypes all over the world, and you know what, most of it is true.

get

did walter ever great his money back from fox?

Also, video games are killing kids, they cannot think straight, they are used of being self absorbed in games where they are the kings, video games give kids a false felling of greatness from "beating" games! Meds are going to give this country in about 20 years millions of sick, brain dead 30 somethings who had pills forced down their throats when they where behaivor problems.

Also, video games are killing kids, they cannot think straight, they are used of being self absorbed in games where they are the kings!Meds, video games and loser parents who are doing the same as the kids are not helping...

Possee, again right on the money!
"overmedicating and undereducating kids, total lack of discipline..
protection of lousy teachers..
no basic learning skills taught..it is all intentional my friend...we are so out of it in the USA, nice pockets exist, but most schools are a joke, because the community does not give a &*&*...I ran into a Nauset freshman this summer who in a history course was assigned Guns, Germs and Steel to read for the summer...great book for that level...I bet their is not one teacher that teaches history in Dy that even knows about the book, So, some places are ahead of others.

"homework" well that has become a funny word...HOME is the problem, not the work! Public schools have become social service outposts that collect food, clothes and other services for kids who have parents that simply do not parent.The lack of disipline is sick!Again, it is excuses and BS, the DY situation is real sad, these cops need help not a reduced police force.

"and worst of all..no bang for the buck!"
Is exactly right! SPED is costing millions with no return on investment. It is just excuses and BS...schools now throw these SPED diagnosis on behaivor problem kids so they can baby them through, while students who need the help and may have problems are just swept under the rug.People wonder why Americans are falling behind in education, just sub one day in the mid cape and you will see, kids come to schol for no other reason but to eat.

who the hell is hanging around malls on a saturday night in the summer? Get a life, move or go to college.

swanneeriv, how did you find out about that guy with the ira arrests?
That is news to me!

Terrorist activites? Illegals arrested in barnstable two days before being shot for trying to run over a police officer, this is nuts, yarmouth PD have their hands full with the Sh34heels that live here we do not need any more, it is a good thing both president canidates are 4 letting all the illegals stay!

15 OUI"s......wow...how is the "man" allowed to breathe oxygen on cape cod?
What the ^%$# do you have to do to go to jail? 1:30am on a tuesday night..does anyone *&^%$#@ work anymore?

possee,
I agree with the "outraged at the complacency, and reverence laid, to the feet of politicians".It is so annoying that people are sooooo out of it in this country....there is only so much we can do but go out in public and listen to people it is $#%&^^& scary man! Gay marriage was made an issue just to divide and distract...most people now are getting married just to survive, it is nothing less than a merger, agreed let them do it or not, but poeple should vote either way....Possee///look at the &^*^*^&*%^ SUV's on the raod, I know we have free choice but they are so crazy to drive those things.

got ya, it is old news to most of us, but some still in denial...like the bumper sticker too...no experience vs.guy who will be taking naps during the day. What about this guy from Georgia, Barr?

20 million a year....pissing in the green monster, cell phone calls middle of the game, faking injury, you name it...it was not worth it anymore, good luck out there, hope he can get his prozac pills in LA.

"as they love to have us in a quandry
knowing there is nothing we can do aboutit"...that is it!!! This was planned when Ike was president.Peter, i am not sure about your comments about stolen elections, are you mocking people who say they were illegit or do you agree? Posse your comments are great... I am not taking sides, you know what your talking about..Collusion..people forget it was the dems who were pro slavery and now we have a african american canidate...interesting!

this one is for you msandre!

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

"flying high performance jet aircraft"... video game! Wow...he was moved to a national guard unit that had not been activated since they took orders from Jefferson Davis!

"These people have been around for a hell of a long time" is the only thing you said that is correct, the "Iraqi's" were the cradle of civilization! How long has Iraq been a country? your ignorance is what scares me about our great country, you have no facts, just great assumtions and ignorance....have you heard of the word "blowback" and how the CIA uses it?

"the marines were bombed in Lebbanon,"
"Olympians were murdered in Munich""lack of understading the real world and who wants us dead"????????
Why were marines killed? Next...who did the kidnapping, who wants US dead? who is US? you need to get more info because fox can only carry you a little bit. Where were the hyjackers from on sept 11.... dummy and why did it happen?

"they are all in collusion and we still vote for the morons,"The Greens can then take up the slack on the left. Cynthia McKinney ROCKS" Great comments...."Thank GOD not every one is a Hippy want to be trying to relive the 60's and Vietnam". Hippy...we got 2 stolen elections,9 trillion in debt, a divided nation, dictatorships THAT ARE CAUSING TERRRORISM(Saudi,Egypt,Paki).that we keep alive.msandre you have no idea what you are talking about, see the problem with morons like you is that you think all are hippies that say anything against the criminal administration!!!! Where were all the hyjackers from dummy?"If I met Bush or Cheney I would look them in the eye and thank them from the bottom of my heart. So keep burnning the piece pipe and ducking the car bombs if the Dems win the election".Keep taking those purple little pills and watching fox jackass!!!!!

"troubling indifference and apathy of the American public." Who has time with this type of stuff, Britney got a new pair of boots and Paris Hilton is in Cancun, as well as Brad had new photos of the twins on TV tonight. This stuff is way more important than that political stuff!... "that a military strike against Iran could provoke a massive response with catastrophic consequences to millions of people, including Americans." How many consumers... oops I mean Americans... could find Iran on a map? Paul, this country is out of it, self centered people driving SUVs wondering why gas prices are high.

Do you know who I am? I am a educated citizen who is sick and tired of these "elite" politicans who abuse pwer like this. What a joker...lets hope somebody either DEM or GOP goes against this guy and takes his seat.

"We, the citizens of the commonwealth have a duty to ourselves, our children and our fellow citizens to make our system of justice better," are we doing that...are people paying attention,NO!!! Do they realize this is a DEMOCRACY where people must be part of it, not just consumers? I like this article but this is just small local stories, look what is happening nationally! Look how the "supreme" court handled the Florida recount in 2000.....When is your boat trip???

Lets not blame the people in yarmouth who voted, blame all those morons who did not vote, old people are an easy target as well.26,000 people and 4,000 vote in a decision that will effect the town.......

This David S. Gonsalves looks like a hard working guy....amazing these people never learn, go to rehab, or go to jail.Greyhound to from Oakland, who would have the time to do that,that must take a week!

This is sad! What a waste of human life, I would not go to Hyannis to get checked out with something minor such as poison ivy.How can little clinics like this even be allowed to practice Med, why not have it at the CC hospital.

Iraq will be secure until the last drop of oil comes out of it.Who cares about these people and security, we have SUV's too fill, the hell with them and that trouble making country to the east of them call eram.Got to go, more on brad and Angies twins coming on the news!

"stars"...why would they care, they do not even know where nantucket sound is.They go to these islands just for the image...

That is probobly one of the ugliest spots on cc at that intersection.Closed buisiness, broken down blockbuster building, dead dennisport center, yuck!Looks like a economic hand grenade hit that area already.

I remember who anthony russ is.... he is that mutha#$%^&* who shot that mutha$%^&^%$ in Mutha!@#$%$^ing Hyannis.

How does one become a "gangsta"? Dropping out of school having kids with no job? having a 400 cell phone living on section 8,??? breaking the law, listening to hip hop, driving around in some car with the stereo thumping?

Peter...."hustlas",I see many people sitting around not really working, not much hustling going on?"In Hytown we stay HIGH", they should stay in HIGH SCHOOL".Anthony Russ. famous settler, town icon,friend of the Kennedy's.. familiy man? who is he?"chillin at "Da Block" tryna get that paper,"??? OHHH that would be the cc times classified section of that paper!"Gettin low at Pufferbellies," Peter, would they be low in cash even before they went in? "Chillin at the mall", ohh they would not have A/C at so they would be going to the mall!

It was a joke, a little jab...of course they are not cities, maybe 20 years from now!

Yes, well they do not have the tall buildings, subways,or culture, but they have the traffic, crime and underbelly that cities have!

More good news for Yarmouth....I wonder if these people took the day off from work to break into cars in the middle of the night.You wonder when it gets to a point when people say the hell with the cities of hyannis and yarmouth.

Buzz, that is a really funny story, I like the "At that point, the person is confused," comment, just like someone sitting causing traffic on 28, confused.

Good luck Teddy, Thanks serving us here on CC, and for annoying the Bush administration..... that head shaking shot during one of his "speeches" represented us here in Mass. more than you could imagine.

the REAL working people go to Cumby's is true OR BREW IT AT HOME. These silly routines people get themselves into cost them big $$$ in the long run, but like I said, these morons stop traffic,when they could park right across the street at both 28 yarmouth Dunkins, it is sooo typical.Fast food must be avoided unless it is the last resort, not the first.

Just stop going to Dunkin, it stops traffic on 28, people have to go so bad, they could give a hoot and just sit on 28, stop traffic with cell phones going waiting and waiting. I like the people who sit in line for hours, and then have no idea what they want.Dunkin represents to me ugly America,unprepared, selfish people, overpaying for coffee they could bre themselves for a fraction of the price.

"We believe this is the wrong site" is correct! Horrible spot, put it on the base. Again, this is a private corp getting free land...and a giant profit."I'm ready for a cleaner, more independent Cape Cod", blow up the bridge and we can stop allowing section 8, hows that?

"crimes without penalty..repeat offenders daily" "poor parenting" it is not just here, you are right."It's the residents..." plain and simple, look at the other article about 327 calls the yarmouth PD took over the holiday.People have just become so self centered, they dont give a crap, it think the issue on cc is, it is growing.

People NEED to realize that these postings are just 4 fun, they are just opinions,sometimes not exactly 100%, look at newspapers they get paid to make up stuff and everyone reads them and thinks its all true. Remember, WMD's in the NY times?

Buzz, you are right, throwing $$$ is not the answer, when I said renters and drifters, I meant that people who are not voting,or working in the community, who have children in the schools, did not even vote, and I do not care what anyone supports, a little effort never hurt anyone at all. Your right again, "The tax rate and working capital in any town on or off cape is the highest percentage it's ever been"Agreed 100%, cape is cheap on taxes, but not for much longer, they are gonna go up, factual info, what have I said theat was not true?

It is just common sense...nothing more.
This is a great place, but like all over, it has so many problems now.People need to look around...the $$$ is not around, public works, schools ect ect are gonna go belly up, look at yarmouth where they just "blame all the old people" that is such crap, 26,000 in the town 4,000 and change show up to vote, good luck with that, what were the others doing, if you are out their and live in yarmouth and did not vote, I would love to hear why not?See, that community was exposed for not being a community at all, again, renters and drifters are running the show

agree with other places looking good for vaction.When I do talk to people a common term to decribe summers here for tourists is overrated. "too pricy, spread out, and most important rude locals" who are angry cause they work 80 hours a week in the summer, and drink all winter.Property values, who has $$$ these days for a 800,000 home that is surrounded by 10 hr jobs?

crusader,
I just read that article and it does not surprise me at all.You could just tell something was not right with the case.How do these people sleep at night, CM needs some serious legal help from somebody in DC, ACLU?? Dunno???

"Lack of sustainable jobs is the main issue" 100% agreed.It is soo true about the locals, it all depends what you last name is around here...CM was set up from what I have seen, wrong woman, wrong skin color...agreed.Gentrification is the right term, but like I said, look at other who are moving here, I have never seen a place with so many drifters from all over the USA and world.I was at a liquor store and a man with Iowa plates stole something, serbian man burt alive in the hyannis woods,a russian man holding an elderly couple hostage in chatham, drug dealers from mississippi selling on the streets of hyannis, that is just to name a few, how do these people find out about this place?

"poor young mother" ????? Are you sure you got the right case, or was another person killed by her garbage man? From hingham, living on the family land???

"ongoing gentrification of Cape Cod", your right on the $$$, what will this look like in 10 years?"get off my turf" is this the same JF that was friends with mcgowen? I thought it was funny that JF was a teen juice bar with mcgowen the night of the killing, in his 30's....nice.gentrification is a interesting term, but we are getting more poor people, not middle class, and less people can retire. A ghost town is more like it, look at the schools problems, I would bet 25% of the students in the mid cape own homes and pay taxes, at BEST. The more you talk to the wealthy, they are all set with th locals, how would you like to buy a home in hyannis and have some hip- hopping drug dealers slinking around your street.

"don't rock the Yankees gear in Massachusetts", that does not even make sense, rock...whats that some hip hop term? People like him will be rocking clothes from the salvation army if more situations like this happen...I had met a woman from Indiana who sadi to me "I will never return to that city of Hyannis," I was robbed at a 7-11 right in downtown, that is a rough city". Nice

crusader,
The men from London, not sure if I heard about that one. Your right about paying the bills,that is why I do not understand why all of a sudden they should bother anyone. This is not good for CC but you think this kid cares?The people in charge here are living in the past, scum like this is growing and growing like a virus."menacing, territorial",is exactly right! These morons just assume the tourist $$$$ will come, not true anymore.

This is crazy, what a loser. I bet this kid has never even been to a redsox game, or over the bridge for that matter.New Yorkers own most of CC anyway,why all of a sudden should this bother anyone.By the way, do you have to own a SUV to drive in NY CT OR NJ, or is a SUV convention in town? Also, we won on the 4th, I bet he did not even watch the game.

"both parties are in collusion" and "the Dems will function fine as the rightwingers." those comments are sadly right on the $$$. I have more respect for W than I do Pelosi and others, nothing is getting done folks.these wars are taking all the $$ we need here in the USA."brave enough" ????? why is everyone scared to talk about this administration???? Where is the Vice Prez? He has not been seen in years, right? Sadly, I think this W really split this country in half, reds vs blue states and I do not think it is going to change.

"Freedom from arbitrary government regulation and control,"Freedom from arbitrary search, seizure or detention of person or property" those things have been taken away by the criminal administration in DC right now. "Responsibility of all citizens to assist, uphold and insure justice, law and order" we the people have been doing a terrible job with that one! The greatest country in the world must improve, not sink any further into the 1984 type of Bush bullying.One would think a guy that stole 2 elections would be a little nicer to the people he screwed to get "elected".

posse, I think too complacently poor to care is also a problem. Like Sean Hannity said "Americas poor are in good shape". Actually, if you think about it, many cape cod residents are irrelevant and completely useless to our society. Eastern Europeans and other people from all over the world are working in places poor should be working....the mid cape has as many social problems as any inner city, section 8, having too many kids,bringing mega problems to our school systems,ect ect ect. You are right about the capitalist inheritied elite(lets face it, very few with wealth actually came from nothing), they could not care less, only when we carry their bags at CC national golf course, or serve them some food at and they hope we mess up, so they can vent their power at us! I wonder if people in France in about 1788 were talking like this about the "elite" buying 500, 000 paintings while 90% of the country was starving.

I thought you could not get a hotel in cc if you were a resident of the town?
These hotels need to be torn down, so we can try to build hotels that people might want to stay in ON VACATION. Unreal......you wonder why tourists are skipping coming to cc...."Man arrested for fifth OUI"....what the *(*&^ does one have to do to go to jail?

Hey... give Christy credit..... he sunk that union killer, Healy, who said she would love to have dinner with Mr. Margaret Thatcher.... yuck! I did not vote for her because of that, among other things. Also, he had the quote of the election “intentional indifference” describing Healy’s lack of action when it came to the disaster that was the bid dig.So much corruption her and Willard just turned their heads and knew all about it.

have done

mav,
good point, the dems of done $%^&, exept balme the GOP for all the problems. It is reality mav, but this is a great place to live, we all work hard for this place, have pride in CC, but why in Hyannis?... One has to look at some of the "social agencies" here, they have replaced most of the industrial park instead of the CPU sandbar!

It is time for community action in Hyannis, a great town should not be destroyed by people like this...the police can only do so much....NO MORE section 8...and dont give me this "where are they gonna go?" this is not the place...GO AWAY

"Taylor has 46 prior arrests on his criminal record including distribution of cocaine. Russ has 41 previous arrests including distribution of cocaine". CC times......why are these guys still slinking around Hyannis? This will only make their reputation and entrance at Pufferbellies even that more dramatic.Wow...driving around bad areas in H-Town at 100am....I wonder if they called in to work on tuesday morning....how many kids do each one of these guys have?

Wellfleet

look at that house! WTF!!!!
when does it stop? these people are going to be down here for what a month? we got homeless all over downtown hyannis and we are fighting over this monster house! Wow......another sign of how the gap between the haves and have nots is growing out of control.What a waster of taxpayers dollars, I feel bad for the good people of welfleet.

great joke!
how did these people think they were going to pay for the houses down on cc if they are first home buyers, take a look at the cc times and tell me what jobs paying a penny over 40,000 are open for applications. teachers, hospital work, police are not availible and are never going to be, face it. young families should be moving out by the boatload in a couple of years,this is a real problem for all of us.

Special needs students, churches, wow...is it possible to become a bigger scumbag than this guy? He should send his resume to the white house, he would fit in just fine with all the criminals in this administration!

I think now we should call it the social sevices sandbar!

It is time for flip flopping Iraq, no child left behind voting republicrat John Kerry to go away.He did not even fight all the voter fraud from the criminal administration in 2004. He was presented the facts on a silver platter, but..... NO he keeps to his skull and bones ways. Anyone could do a better job, good luck Jeff!

This is a great summer program for kids...keep them away from the TV, they get out and learn all about their enviroment.

So, if the voters of Yarmouth say no 2 times, it does not matter? What happened to Democracy? Why even vote, it does not even matter it seems?

I cannot believe I guy like chyna can go on TV and make a fool out of herself. Drinking and AA should not be for TV, especially a man like her.

what a tough guy beating up a 12 year old, maybe it is time to go back to springfield.There is soooo much work up in springfield, do not waste your time on CC. Hurry back please!

I wonder what these 2 did for work?
Unreal...I feel bad for the hard working CC'ers who have to breathe the same oxygen as these people.I tip my hat to the Yarmouth PD for having to deal with these types that are growing like a virus in Yarmouth.

"Cape Cod draws people who are already depressed/addicted in search of a solution", Right on the money! We get people who move here expecting it just to start happening.I mean, moving here with a couple of kids, no home, no credit,no skill,to a place that has little work at it just does not happen, so they are depressed.Without sounding like a NAZI, this place has more useless people for a small geographic place than I have ever seen anywhere else. The gentrification of the Boston area has not helped at all, as well as other places.We got all these unemployed people sendin kids to schools with no $$$$ and we have to import workers cause some around here have no time to work, too much on TV.

Did anyone ask if getting rid of Saddam(and Sunni control) actually made the Persians stronger? Also, was the new oil contract in which USa corporations were allowed to dictate to contract with th Iraqi govt, at 80%?

I did not attend, But it is good to see people caring, instead of the usual sterotypes of Americans.Lets try to get the next debate closer to the mid cape so more can attend.

write a letter

Walter,
I am a man who solves problems...simply right a letter to the Cape Cod Times, or even the Boston Herlad explaining how you were never paid! OOPs...he owns them both, my mistake!

gets

Mav,

good one, this is a tough spot to argue, nobody get out of here without a comment or two, I suspect many Irishmen(2nd , 3rd generation) among us here....
Celtics win 2 nite by 3, go up 3-0...Lakers are not that good, no bench!!!

Ned,
this is the empire but it does not mean we are all going to the coliseum to watch the carnage and cheering as the former republic goes down! The bread and circus has been replaced by Paris Hilton and all that other nonsense.We are quite similar to Rome that is the scary thing......

possee,
I am not saying that, look at our congress, nothing is getting done and it is all dems, again W has not helped things with this war.The seeds for the economic woes were planted under Clinton, but agin look at crime stats, all are going up.All cannot be blamed on Bush, the corporations are killing this country, like in Iraq, they were allowed to dictate the Oil contracts with Iraq. 80% oil the oil baby! Why are profits up and gas prices sky high?

Mav,
"The USA is the safest country in the world"????? Have you been to Philly or Detroit? this is not Liberia, but come on, this is a nice little pocket in NE, go to Cincy, KC, or even Oakland and see how safe it is.look at crime stats since W was "voted" into office,no jobs+high prices+high priced housing=disaster. look at the cape, we are getting crime stories one would never think of even 10 years ago.The CC times is not telling us what we need to know...by the way detroit had over 500 murders and 24,000 stolen cars,why....NO JOBS....the solution in big D, casinos...we should look at Michigans mistakes before we put up casinos here.

Ned,
thanks for clearing that up...my professor comment was sarcasim,..Maine is looking better agree 100%....check out pufferbellies on a friday night, Hyannis bus station is rougher than South Station.Where are people going to live on the cape 20 years from now?But the whole country is getting rough..Middle America was sold down the river by the last 2 presidents, NAFTA....

bittersweet,
Amen! Right on the $$$$....The Bilderberg group, find info on that! the distraction buisiness is big $$$$, good 4 U

crusader,
we know where the drugs come from and how they are getting here...look at the border situation...did you know Syrians were busted dressed as Mexicans?
Homeland Security R U kidding me? That story is ureal but it does not surprise me at all! I mean Columbia's President(Uribe) family knew Pablo Escobar...give me a break! Uribe is PERFECT for our NEEDS, if we could only find another like him in Iraq....

crusader,
I know exactly what you mean,It is wrong what this criminal administration is doing, and how these people continue to get away with this crap. I would never piss away these people's memories and the families of the victims, I mean we need to make sure this does not happen again.We really do not know what is going on, all this stuff about 9/11(Mossad, Saudi's explosions, WT#7)is not going to help us if it happens again!

great article,
people need to get creative and look at other states that they can afford. A little school in NE that has nothing but white rich kids will teach your children nothing at all.look at the ranknings, find a good state U, and go for it,maybe take a year off, work and get residency.

agree with possee, it is too late for 9/11 talk, it all happened by who is something we may never know.the debate is a waste of time, just going to annoy people and make us more divided. Forget all this talk, Brtiney Spears is getting a new tatoo and dancing with the stars is going to have American Idol winners on tonight, remember what that bald lap dog for W said ""All Americans.. need to watch what they say, watch what they do."

I did not apologize, I do not understand who he is talking to, or what he is talking about.

Ned, a fraud....dunno if I understand that!Sorry if I make spelling mistakes professor, I dot sit n a CPU all day or use a spell checker."There obviously is some deep psychological sort of need, since that's the thrust of the man's trolling", are you talking to me?

I am not sure if we have teamed up with them, I just think the Shia-Sunni resentment from Iran makes it look like that they could be behind the scenes.The Saudi's accused Iran recently of only giving a crap about Shia interests and they had a huge argument at a Arab summit.Look at the relationship with the Iraqi govt and Iran right now, these two countries have never got along until now, I find it interesting....

What do you think of this....
Some out there(NOT ME!!) think Iran,Israel and USA are all playing a media game with tough talk but behind the scene, are all in it to get rid of Sunni control.Remember, Iran was getting weapons and trading info with Israel when we were bringing "democracy" to central America.
Going to war with Iraq made the Persians stronger, so how can one say it was the right thing to do! Heroin has been coming out of the Afgans's since the Brits left years ago,by the way this is the 4th time her majesty has sent troops to that country. Why did Ireland and Scotland have heroin problems right after England left?

maverick, our lives suck?
Why say that, you have no Idea who I am, no need to get personal at all, it is not about ME! The Clinton administration was LUCKY because of the internet boom, simple as that! He gets credit for the country being in good shape.Ask someone in Serbia about BC!Posse said it best, "outrage is normal but nothing will change"..

Crusader,
Oil is in Africa, Nigeria, MEND is the name of a "terrorist" group who has the nerve to fight Shell's occupation and stealing of the countries oil. I know about Gary Webb, unreal story, thanks for Maxine Walters for being a great American and coming forward with this story to congress.What drives me crazy is people think it is all conspiricies and BS, it is all true! This is truly a criminal administration!

Darfour??? what are you talking about?

Karen, that video is a joke! the whole story is!

I disagree with China wars, what other country could use slave labor to produce all the wall mart junk we consume! China's leaders are in on this with us!

maverick,
do you mean what hit the pentagon? certainly not an airplane! many people say it was way too small to be a plane and more likley a missle!

Crusader, your right, that is a sad story. Slave labor is correct, and I hate when people say "well they are doing better here than in their countries" that is not the point.
The whole country of Iraq "was forced to fight Iran" from the USA. I went to college and met Iranians and they cannot believe the ignorance of most americans. Saddam was taking orders from the USA. Iran is not going to attack us...why would they? How come the "media" never mentions the fact the CIA killed their president in the 50's, or how BP made most of their Billions from puppet regimes and bad contacts in Iran?

good comments....makes me feel good, because you do not hear much talk like this, more britney spears, Suv driving, mindless americans talk.Ask yourself this...if Iraq was the leadning exporter of tomatoes or bananas instead of oil, would 200,000 american troops be their today. Also, what I find interesting is nobody mentions about iraq being a country thay really was never legit.Her majesty's magic marker and all other "peackeepers" formed that country! Crusader, you are right about Ollie N and the contra scandal."arms, dope, oil and money" is what it is all about. Question how did crack get into the inner cities?

I think the greatest of the conspiracy theories is men that live in caves told people with box cutters to fly planes in the WTC, defeat the greatest radar system in the world, fool every airport, ect ect.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

Ned, is that true The Cape Cod Times endorsed BUSH for President? NPR,the new york times,even people like John Kerry and Edwards are all in on it!What a smae that our troops are fighting a war that was illegal and mostly(like the whole Bush regime is based on lies).I agree, the damage is done! Why even debate at this point!

Troy,
what is to support about this "war" and the "war on terror"? the only terror war is the corporations that are hyjacking the American Dream buddy! Mobil's profits??? Iraq invasion??? No weapons of mass destruction(if they did have them, we probobly sold them to him)?? Saddam worked for the USA, we supported his war with Iran of course, then sold both sides weapons! I am no liberal but this president was not even elected, those elections in Ohio and FLorida were far from legit! Keep on telling yourself that this is the right thing to do!

No need to talk about a wall, it is never going to happen, these corporations want illegals, they work for peanuts, do not need benifits, ect,401K's you name it. Face it, our schools cannot even question if students coming in to a school have papers, people get to drive cars, do whatever they want. Both dems and republicans are doing nothing about this invasion.what can the average guy do, nothing!!! Amnesty for people who broke the law, are you @#$%^$%^$%# me!

Peter is not a sick man and capecodjon is right, This wind farm is nothing but a corporate hyjack of free land. Great idea, wrong place! Put it on Otis....that was the original idea right? Yes or No question, is oil going to run the windfarm turbines? and what happens if a hurricane hits and Nantucket sound looks like the coast of Alaska after The EXXON, MOBIL killing machine drunk captian screwed up? This is too much risk, plain and simple.

It is good to see Orleans with a nice number like that, same as Wellfleet.Sandwich has $$ but a low PPS.
P'town has to do something, that is a ton of $$ for such a small town. Why dont they join the Nauset system?

I was misunderstood, I did not mean that about workers from other countries, I know they are great workers and employees take good care of them with housing and other things.When I said "and doing nothing but burden the people who try" I was talking about bums from here who are above working 2-3 jobs.Also, I was not being racist about hip hop, but I do not think it is a good influence on kids, listen to the words....

Julie, I agree with your comments about others from all over the world, but they are not living here year round and doing nothing but burden the people who try.Year round they could not work three jobs.See,they move to work, why stay here with zero skills and just cause trouble,this is a tough place for young people in the 18-25 age group.

Agree on entitled" generation!Nobody wants to work, I bet they all listen to "hip hop"! What is a 25 year old doing with these guys? Why these people stay in a place that has little work and high $$$ housing....dont people forget most of us willingly or unwillingly crossed the atlantic searching for a better life, they goons cannot even go over the bridge.....again....it is not their faults, right?

this is good for the tourist season, people filling out police reports! Maverick is right on the money, these 4 need jobs, hook em up. You wonder why people are not coming down here to vacation, look at these losers.

How about some tough laws like the countries:

El Salvador
Your first offense is your last---execution by firing squad

England
One year suspension and a $250.00 fine and jail for one year

Russia
License revoked for life
Turkey
Drunk drivers are taken 20 miles outside of town by police and are forced to walk back under escort

Peter,
First of all people live in hotels right near the Kennedys.I was making a joke out of the man of the people part of the article.This guy knows nothing about Boston, how could he, maybe from his day trips with his wife to sit in papa gino's luxury box at fenway park. People like this that paint themselves as average joe's are full of you know what.I have not sterotpyped anyone, I was just stating my opinion of this guy.

Doug Bennett is a 'man of the people'?
His father is a doctor, he married a woman from Weston, her father is the CEO for papa gino's, and his wedding was in Kennebunkport, Maine right near King George...a man of what people? the 1% who have run this nation right into the ground?He should run for office in greenwich,ct.what a joke!

He is just what people in Boston are looking for, a wealthy Nantucket kid who is not from Boston.He will fit right in with the South Boston crowd, give me a break.

When did Obama say we cannot win Iraq?
We did win, a civil war started, the oil is in our hands, and we are closer to trying to bring another puppet dictatorship to Iran!

Good job up there! What sad commentary about our great nation....what would some people do on cape cod without good people like this! Maybe though some people should consider moving from a place that has zero economy, high priced housing, and little public transportation! I do not want to say people are brining this on themselves but this is not the 70's anymore , we cannot rely on a seasonal economy.Also, Eastern Europeans coming for the summer and taking all those low paying jobs, and some cape codders are becoming expendable to our community. This is going on all over the USA.

Is it just me or is Dennis becoming an extension of the greater Hyannis area, West Yarmouth, Centerville, you name it! I love CC but where are all these maggots coming from? Do not tell me it is all the illegals that live in Hyannis, but come on! Does anyone work anymore!

Good story, but nobody wants to hear this type of stuff...this country has a vicious history of violence, slavery, wars,and we do a wonderful job of covering all this up in the history books!Native culture is of little importance to the hip- hop, britney spears, cell phone,broken home society we live in. No need to burn books in the USA, people are too lazy to read them!

this is no place to hang out anyways, they can do what they want, it was(pre patriot act) a free country right? Who has time to parent anymore with the wonderfull tv shows on, parenting takes yp too much time!

What a snake! swindling money from a church....i'd bet the house this man donated money to the Bush selection of 2000 and "election" of 2004.Both true Christians right?

Lets say goodbye to the Cape Cod Commission, we cannot have other people who do not live in Yarmouth decide our fate.It is just more political hacks who do not live in the real world, and WE THE PEOPLE of Yarmouth can operate on our own. People must realize we cannot wait any longer, we must develop this town into something the will attract business and this is the first place to start. Peter, keep up the good work... I’m guessing your Irish, we are always guilty of not being politically correct, and telling it like it is!

"elitist Republican in Democrats' clothing". Aaron, you are talking about clinton, not peake right?

I agree with the comments about family, because that is the most important part of education.
Parents do not want to PARENT anymore, video games and medications are forming personalities. These kids cannot focus at all, because the reading is boring compared to the little virtual world they live in! Also, these schools on CC have their hands full of undisciplined kids who need all sorts or services, get in trouble, and cost the taxpayers big money! Free lunch, free counseling, social problems, ect ect, Until we got over this phenomenon of having kids with no way to pay for them, we are in trouble as a nation!
