The AC Phoenix December 2002 Page 11 Eaves^ Comments There Is A Story To Be Told By: A. Reginald Eaves (The Atlanta Voice) As most of you know, it is not often that I agree with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, (constipation as I call it). However, since they had the guts to tell the Feds to fish or cut bait when it comes to investigat ing the city of Atlanta and former Mayor Bill Campbell, I must give them credit. In my mind that requires some support from people like you and me, for we know and understand where they are coming from. Since this “so-called investigation” has been going on for more than a year, it is time to either convict the Campbell or leave him alone. I am of the opinion, they don’t have anything of substance on the man or they would have done whatever it takes to destroy him. I have, and I believe you have, had enough of this nonsense. Someone should tell the Feds nothing is accomplished with their overkill method. For it just makes people disbelieve or disrespect the government, reduces our loyalty to a cut above zero, and erodes the government’s credibility. At a time when so much is going wrong in this country, this kind of junk should not face us everyday. We have just come off of Super Tuesday and I am sure everyone was mentoring our every action. I can only trust that African Americans went to the polls in large numbers. Did you vote? If you did not, I think you are a citizen of the worst kind, super sorry and lazy. Speaking of voting, it seems as if Florida did not learn very much from the voting disaster that took the presidential election from Al Gore. They suffered some serious problems with the new machines in their last elec tion just a week ago. When we witness two young men on trial for killing their dad, it is obvious we are not imparting the right values to our children. When we allow them, as babies, to hit us in the face and chalk it up as being cute we are sending the wrong message to the child. With all of the talk about going to war and killing people, the leader ship of this country is saying that life is not worth very much. Especially since it appears as if we are doing all of this to avenge a mistake made by Bush forty-three. Remember you heard it here first; we must stay out of the Bushes. The idea of our talking about taking out the leader of another country gives our young children the belief that the way to solve a problem is by force. This is just another point that proves violence is an acceptable part of our culture.
