I've been thinking lead poisoning victims should send letters containing lead dust samples to the homes of people who clearly don't consider lead poisoning a serious matter. What do you think? Anything wrong with sending a perfectly legal substance that is spewed upon the public by Mittal and Cleveland Thermal to the families of the CEOs of the companies and enterprises that buy dirty power and steel from them?
How about sending lead to the politicians who vote for dirty coal burning, like the Cleveland City Council members who voted for AMP?

I previously wrote on REALNEO about "Art of the Day: Houghs Angel, by Harry Bell". Since that posting, and painting, it seems Bell's patron Abe has grown his passion for this outsider artist, as there are now many new works at the pumped-up intersection at East 55th and Cedar Road, Cleveland, Ohio, featuring Abe's gas station and Bell's art.
The two most prominent new murals - which are probably 8'x8' or so - are anti-Israel.

REALNEO is a cooperative, eternal, free, open source social network operating with the Drupal Content Management System (CMS) - it is designed to manage content for individuals, who are registered users, and who own the CMS, as a co-op, and own their individual content, as individuals. Members have traditionally used REALNEO to manage their personal thoughts and ideas, through blog postings and comments, along with events, polls, and links to the content of others. Some users use the CMS capabilities of the site more than others, adding files, photographs and video to their content.

The administrators of REALNEO (I believe Jeff Schuler, Jeff Buster and myself) received an email yesterday, via the contact link on REALNEO, from John Kroll. Mr. Kroll is the "Director of Training and Digital Development for The Plain Dealer". That he contacted us in this way, regarding the matter he raises, clearly demonstrates a problem with the Cleveland Plain Dealer operating in the New Economy - they consider themselves above our community, yet are trolls.

This was REALNEO, from December 16, 2008 - December 15, 2009.
Activity was significant, expanding, engaged, diverse, and global. REALNEO is a very healthy virtual community. But, who were those 277,070 absolute unique visitors attracted to our over 10,141 pages of original content on REALNEO?

Cleveland lost another one of its great historic institutions, Sunday morning, as the Lancer Steakhouse burned beyond salvage, and was demolished. Established in the mid-1950's, making it one the first restaurant’s in Cleveland owned and operated by an African American, the Lancer was for five decades at the heart of more political action, and home to more important moments and memories, than any other restautant in this region - a truly historic place in the evolution of Northeast Ohio, for the past 50 years.
ODOT and the control over ODOT to determine real estate and land use in NEO has been a reign of terror and an abuse of absolute power. Whole neighborhoods and communities have been systematically wiped out. Neighbors are expendable.
In the past, it was apparent that the man with absolute power was Albert S. Porter, County Engineer and Democratic Party Chair.*
