in

The Indiana primary is one I am going to watch

The Clinton's can smear with the best of them my

Including attacks on B. Obama.

Indeed. That's part of being "tough" in the current

I expect the Republicans to throw whatever they can,

already
tossing

Democratic
nominee
is, he

Number of murders and crime down in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Police Department says crime is down
and
the murder rate could be at its lowest in 42 years.
The trend in Chicago is part of an overall decline in crime
nationwide.
Before 2003, Chicago reported more than 600 murders a year.
There were 471 murders last year; so far this year, 428 have been
reported, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said.
Police are working to dismantle gang leadership and remove drugs
and
guns from the streets, she said. This year, Chicago police
recovered
13,474 guns, including 6,003 from a gun turn-in program.
Demographers say the growth rate in major metropolitan areas is
slowing, which also means less crime.
Chicago lost 62,000 residents between 2000 and last year, Loyola
University professor Kenneth Johnson said.
============================================
"There were 471 murders last year; so far this year, 428 have
been
reported, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said."
It'll have to be a real slow last seven months for the murder
rate
not
to
exceed the "before 2003 rate of 600/year".
The city is on track to come close to, or exceed 1,000 this
year.-

And you think that's near the number of murders and needless
deaths
in
Iraq??????
Did *I* write that? I just pointed out that Chicago's (I lived
there
for
50
years) violent crimes are on the up-swing this year.
When you extrapolate this the numbers YTD, it doesn't look like
crime
is
down as the article would have you believe after reading the first
sentence.
You should have posted the date the article was written. That's a
12-2007
piece so the "428 murders" for "this" year actually applies to
12-2007
YTD
not YTD 2008.

Can't do it, can you?


Pretty funny stuff, Mr. Duck.
I just don't have the patience you obviously do to deal with someone as
intellectually challenged as Loogy.

I don't usually either. But it's a little diversion to kill some time.
These retirement days aren't always filled with things to do.

(Not the other one!)

I just checked my log and I have golfed 57 times since the first of this
year. That includes 27 holes today but does not include the numerous times I
just go out and practice without keeping score.

For people that like golf it's one of the perks for living in Florida.

Number of murders and crime down in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Police Department says crime is down
and
the murder rate could be at its lowest in 42 years.
The trend in Chicago is part of an overall decline in crime
nationwide.
Before 2003, Chicago reported more than 600 murders a year.
There were 471 murders last year; so far this year, 428 have been
reported, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said.
Police are working to dismantle gang leadership and remove drugs
and
guns from the streets, she said. This year, Chicago police
recovered
13,474 guns, including 6,003 from a gun turn-in program.
Demographers say the growth rate in major metropolitan areas is
slowing, which also means less crime.
Chicago lost 62,000 residents between 2000 and last year, Loyola
University professor Kenneth Johnson said.
============================================
"There were 471 murders last year; so far this year, 428 have
been
reported, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said."
It'll have to be a real slow last seven months for the murder
rate
not
to
exceed the "before 2003 rate of 600/year".
The city is on track to come close to, or exceed 1,000 this
year.-

And you think that's near the number of murders and needless
deaths
in
Iraq??????
Did *I* write that? I just pointed out that Chicago's (I lived
there
for
50
years) violent crimes are on the up-swing this year.
When you extrapolate this the numbers YTD, it doesn't look like
crime
is
down as the article would have you believe after reading the first
sentence.
You should have posted the date the article was written. That's a
12-2007
piece so the "428 murders" for "this" year actually applies to
12-2007
YTD
not YTD 2008.

It fluctuates, because it's by the week, but you can clearly see
that
it's between 500 and a thousand per WEEK. How close to that is
Chicago's murder rate again?

You were in agreement with those who have stated in this thread that
Chicago is akin to Iraq in numbers of deaths from the hand of
others.

I just came up with challenge for you.

If you can copy and paste where I wrote that the homicide rate in
Chicago is
any where near as bad as the killings in Iraq, I will never post in
this
group again.

If you can't paste that quote from me, you will never post in this

again.

Enlighten, please. What IS your take on people saying Chicago's
homicide rate compared to Iraq's?

=====================================

Why won't you accept my challenge and copy/paste my remarks?

Can't do it, can you?

Pretty funny stuff, Mr. Duck.
I just don't have the patience you obviously do to deal with someone as
intellectually challenged as Loogy.
I don't usually either. But it's a little diversion to kill some time.
These retirement days aren't always filled with things to do.

I just checked my log and I have golfed 57 times since the first of this

just go out and practice without keeping score.

For people that like golf it's one of the perks for living in Florida.

Its the way things work around here.

Indeed. That's part of being "tough" in the current

I expect the Republicans to throw whatever they can,

made-up,
against the Democratic nominee. In fact, they're

tossing

I guarantee it will be the same. I've been it doing for the past 1-1/2
years since I started playing again after a 20 year layoff. I personally
would rather play in the summer months, the heat does not really bother me.
Lots of fluids during and a nice shower afterwards.

Wow! I've gotten in maybe 20 games so far this year, mostly because the
weather hasn't been cooperative. But, I compensate by doing four miles on
the treadmill and then going to our local heated range to hit 120 balls.

If I didn't have a lot of family up here, I'd be living in Florida in a

Bert, I don't think the weather in Florida in August is much worse than the
weather here in August, having lived in both places.

Besides, all that heat and sweat just provides another excuse for a sliced
shot. You probably don't need the excuses, but hell, I'll take whatever I
