Here's your choices for candidate for the November 02, 2010 election... Have you done your homework on the candidates & issues? 

As I recently wrote on realNEO, regarding legalizing medical marijuana in Ohio, Governor Ted Strickland “feels that the predominant opinion of the medical community is that there are existing medicines available that provide appropriate patient care. So based on that opinion and the current research, he feels this type of legislation doesn’t seem necessary or warranted.“

Yet "tens of thousands of sick people throughout California find relief from scores of ailments by using cannabis because this plant has so many healing qualities", according to Raymond Cushing's posting on Alternet - Prop. 19 Offers Major Potential for Some Cancer Patients.

So who is right... citizen-oriented AlterNet or our Governor, now seeking reelection.

On AlterNet we learn:

What begs discussion on the occasion of California’s historic vote, which the whole world is watching, is that cannabis has been shown in hundreds of laboratory studies over the past ten years not only to be physiologically harmless, but also to be the most potent anti-cancer agent found in nature. No other natural substance holds the cancer-stopping power of cannabis and that's a proven fact.

Legal Medical Marijuana from Broadway Wellness Medical Marijuana dispensary in South Denver, Colorado

How is it conceivable, in America today, that a seriously ill patient in Boulder, Colorado, may grow, purchase and have a medicine cabinet full of state-licensed medical marijuana (MMJ), while a similarly-ill patient in Cleveland may be imprisoned for pursuing the same medical treatment?

How, in the free-wheeling capitalist US of A, could some states and communities encourage free men and women to be MMJ-millionaires and patients, while MMJ-entrepreneurs and adherents in other markets are arrested... nearly 1 million of them a year.

Why would anyone choose to live in a state of Cannabis denial?

Richard Cordray evidently is getting on the ball about filing INJUNCTIONS on these banks for ROBO document issues....

How many folks are really set to capitalize on the destruction and gross misuse of tax dollars being funneled into the Opportunity Corridor??

Interesting to recognize that these MASTER PLANS are now available....wonder how many citizens even have a clue about these plans for their futures??? It might amaze you to read up on plans created as far back as 1992, 1996, 1999...and 2010...they've been doing this for years under an actual "MASTER PLAN" methodology!!! Amazing how they communicate with the actual citizens/stakeholders about these plans...NOT!

Coldest winter in 1,000 years on its way

A Realneo friend brought the following to my attention:

Richey Piiparinen over at Green City Blue Lake postures regarding appreciative inquiry - Cuyahoga County corruption, dogs and shoes.

I voted Green for David Ellison* in the primary and I voted Independent in the General Election.  Here's why--Don Scipione has the means (technology) to provide ACCOUNTABILITY to residents in Cuyahoga County.

From a Telegraph article on this video, "Two French female students have made a film of the pair of them strolling through the streets of Paris in a niqab, bare legs and mini-shorts as a critique of France's recently passed law".

"In an opinion piece published on the news website, rue89, the anonymous duo – political science and communication students in their twenties – said the film was a tongue-in-cheek way of criticising France's niqab ban, which the Senate passed last month and is due to go into force early next year"

"To put a simple burka on would have been too simple. So we asked ourselves: 'how would the authorities react when faced with women wearing a burka and mini-shorts?," asked the students, one of whom is a Muslim.

2010 is a definitive year for the Ohio Democratic Party, as all the Democratic leaders of Northeast Ohio are entangled in webs of corruption, tarnishing the Party state- and nation-wide, to the White House, as all Democratic leaders of Ohio must explain poorer economic performance statewide than is the national average, which has been poor under Obama.... with no good vision for the state and nation for the future... with important elections upon us in November.

To keep the purple state of Ohio blue in 2010 and for 2012, where Democrats have largely been in-charge in the past, the Democratic machine needs to show it is serious about changing how it does business here in the future, while going the distance with Obama, and getting the job done in Ohio... no matter how long that takes. 

Just a reminder for those of you who have not registered to vote....today is the deadline.

To make Northeast Ohio the Open Source Capital of the Brightest Greenest State of Earth, we must learn and import best practices from wherever in the world there is related excellence.

To develop a brightest greenest NEO we must learn best practices from regions demonstrating excellence with open source information technology, energy innovation, and agriculture systems for all crops including cannabis (hemp and marijuana).

ARE ANY OTHER FAMILIES CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER??? ARE YOU AWARE THAT THERE ARE MANY SCHOOLS NOT LISTED ON THE SHERIFF'S WEBSITE??? WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE??? PLEASE POST YOUR DIRECT OPINIONS ON THIS MATTER BELOW SO THAT WE MAY COLLECTIVELY ENGAGE OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY! 

Facebook.com is, by the evidence, an instrument of information warfare and attack against Facebook users whose actions fall within specific clandestine surveillance guidelines established by DARPA and the U.S. Department of Defense Information Awareness Office. Facebook.com has, by the evidence, also been used in furtherance of black budget operations such as the April 20, 2010 BP Gulf oil spill.

How many days of deliquency determines the transfer of a tax delinquency to Plymouth Park in Cuyahoga County????

Can any one out there help me to answer the question?

Revisiting an older post RE: The Land Bank

From former Mayor Eric Brewer via Cleveland.com:

When politicians like Barack Obama, Ted Strickland, George Voinovich, Sherrod Brown, Marcia Fudge, Frank Jackson, Gary Norton and our councilpeople speak of the promise of "Clean Coal" and carbon capture and sequestration, ask the politicians how to safely capture coal slurry... especially after it has spilled... as that skill is needed in Ohio today. On October 1, 2010, Murray Energy (of Pepper Pike, Ohio) spilled 1,000s of gallons of toxic coal slurry into an Ohio stream, as reported by the Sierra Club in the video above. That is the same Murray Energy responsible for the collapse of the Crandall Canyon mine, in 2007, which "was so extensive, federal officials found no other mining disaster in the last 50 years to compare to it."

Was this reported in Cleveland?

The Sierra Club asks citizens to help stop Murray Coal from doing even more harm to our environment in Ohio...

Researching the EXTRAORDINARY NETWORK of Cleveland based organizations who are running full time staffs of people to help families in distress from the foreclosure industry has created jobs for those folks-while sending families in a whirlwind of agency chases, application processes, and network nightmares to ascertain direct assistance and relief...often times resulting in nothing more than denials, deferments, referrals, and wasted time that results in losing homes anyway....

."(i saw a two stink bugs in a computor monotor that was donated to quest ministries - they disapeared in side the monitor)Are they really smelly?Yes, when the bugs feel threatened, or when they're squished, they emit an unpleasant, musty odor, though some says it is not that bad.

Stock piling LLC's with real estate....1300 East 9th is now owned by OPTIMA 1300, LLC.... watch the way the word OPTIMA results in almost 50 County Recorder listings...connect the dots! 

What does climate change look like? The people of Boulder know only too well, having just dodged Colorado's worst wildfire ever - the Fourmile Canyon Wildfire.

The people of Fourmile Canyon - especially those who lost nearly 200 homes - are now climate change experts, as their sun-drenched, parched, droughted Rocky Mountain paradise went up in flames that rode hot dry winds across over four square miles of pristine forests, for days... just a few weeks ago.

most recent two summers and winters.

Climate Progress has a link today to an excellent report by NASA's top climatologist, Dr. James Hansen - “How Warm Was This Summer?” (copied below), which confirms that 2010 is equal to the hottest year on record, resulting in more extreme natural disasters worldwide this year, and forecasts worse impacts of climate change several years into the future, predicting "it is likely that 2012 will reach a record high global temperature." Meaning:

Given the association of extreme weather and climate events with rising global temperature, the expectation of new record high temperatures in 2012 also suggests that the frequency and magnitude of extreme events could reach a high level in 2012. Extreme events include not only high temperatures, but also indirect effects of a warming atmosphere including the impact of higher temperature on extreme rainfall and droughts. The greater water vapor content of a warmer atmosphere allows larger rainfall anomalies and provides the fuel for stronger storms driven by latent heat.
