    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This, from USA Today, is a good example of a good man.

Kudos to this one:





Aurora, Colorado, USA Mayor Mike Coffman wanted to understand homelessness.

So he did something most politicians would never do.

He started spending his Friday nights at the city’s homeless shelter.

Not for a photo.

Not for a speech.

Not for a quick visit with cameras.

He checks in.

Sleeps on a basic cot in the men’s dorm.

Talks with residents.

Wakes up the next morning.

Then helps serve breakfast.

His reason was simple.

He wanted to see the system from the inside.

Not from a report.

Not from a meeting room.

Not from behind a desk.

But from the same place the people living through it experience it.

And what he found changed him.

He said homelessness is far more complex than many people realize.

Behind every cot is a person.

A story.

A struggle.

A reason.

A life that cannot be understood from the outside looking in.

You do not have to agree with every politician.

But this kind of leadership matters.

Because real compassion starts when people stop talking about problems from a distance and get close enough to understand them
 
Sounds like a good dude.

Is it just me, or has writing degenerated from what used to be paragraphs, put together with some skill, to bullet points with no complexity whatsoever? Is AI doing this?
 
Not suggesting otherwise; merely noting a pattern in writing that suggests a possible diminution in the reading abilities and attention span of modern media consumers.
