By the end of the discussion, it was clear that this wasn’t a just a discussion over an “over paid” coach, it was about your political agenda; the one that supports something out of Karl Marx’s book. I applaud your caring, your dedication, but Ken you can’t force your radical views on the rest of the free world, besides that’s President Obama’s job. Ken, I’m sorry for getting personal, but you’re a a clown. I know, I was once one (a political clown) during my college days and have no regrets; I'm proud of it, my compassion, my desire to seek justice...experience and reflection has taught me something. I now know that the strength of a society resides in the strength of character of it’s members, the individual, and not the movement of some collective(government)body. If you want to help the world, stop with the victim complex. We all rise when the individual realizes that they have the power, and though challenged, cannot ultimately be held down by "the man." I have proved this over time in my own life through all types of adversity - business, govt, and personal. Again, sorry about the "clown" comment, it really isn't meant to be personal, but that's the buzz not just around sports fans, but with the "non-sporting" educated brethren as well. You are a good soul and hope you see you just might be battling your own persecution complex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-35371264626298775572007-02-04T12:43:00.000-05:002007-02-04T12:43:00.000-05:00Don

I don't know. I wish I could do better, but I simply ask for your empathy while criminal charges are settled. I seek not your sympathy, but your patience as I grok what happened on Wednesday, January 3, 2007.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Ken KrayeskeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-16877181921391946482007-02-04T08:35:00.000-05:002007-02-04T08:35:00.000-05:00Tony,

The contrast drawn in the blog between you and Simpson was intended to suggest that he has a truer view of Hartford's dangerous streets than you did. I thought that's what I said.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-53881234808209437702007-02-02T22:52:00.000-05:002007-02-02T22:52:00.000-05:00Don,

Actually its closer to a cyclo-cross bike, outfitted for winter riding at this point with some studded tires. My way to work - year round. Not a publicity stunt.<br /><br />Not sure why the guy on the bike was singled out in your blog as an example. Perhaps its the same bias that made Ken's appearance on the parade route suspicious. <br /><br />Its amazing what people can draw from the scarcest information.<br /><br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
