According to Shannon, we should stop helping people, stop feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, visiting those in prison, taking care of the poor, the widow, the orphan, the alien - stop following what the Bible teaches many of us to do. This turned-in-on-self approach to life also has another name - sin.

FYI- it's 9:33 pm, I've had a long hard day between work and classes. The neighbors are starting up the party. Won't bother calling PD until 1:00 a.m. as they think I should go over & ask them to be quiet (me, not very strong white girl; them, big teenage white boys with booze in them). As far as renting the existing homes in Willmar that are for sale? First the seller has to be willing to rent the home. Second the seller has to be willing to rent it at a fair price and will likely not get enough to make the mortgage payment (which is probably not their primary home, so they will just not pay it and the home will go into foreclosure and the renters will be screwed in the end). Anyone see why I don't support that theory?

Threats of gun shots and violence? But this ISN'T about people it is about applications not being done honestly? YEAH RIGHT! Can anyone tell us what was the exact application that was not done honestly? And what exactly was the question that was not answered correctly? As for the comments on violence, again what a sad display of ignorance we have tonight!

How about a petition?? Eyes may be widened if there Willmar was polled on this issue. I would venture to guess that there would be a 80/20 split on this AGAINST the development.
