Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

Highlander of the Day ~ Alabama Corrections Commissioner Richard F. Allen
Dana Beyerle of the T-town News reports Mental patients crowd prisons: Official blames lack of services on lack of state resources and darned if I'm not pleased to see some honest talk from the Riley Administration. While they don't lay the blame on conservatism I'd argue it is clear enough. You've got a doctrine that all too often closes all the doors except one for certain people. While I'm all for cuffing and stuffing several remarks by Commissioner Allen ring true. Mental Health and Retardation Commissioner John Houston also was featured in the piece. We'll hope the folks down on Goat Hill are willing to put the resources out there for changing this tragic reality. Peace ... or War!
