Does Net Neutrality Loss = The New Ghetto
As a growing small media company owner, some of you know of my involvement in lobbying for Net Neutrality, which is the continued absence of regulation in regards to the Open Internet and something everyone should agree on and embrace. This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.

Big Bang Lite
A spark of madness inspired Councilman Dwaine Caraways’ personal declaration to get it back up after the City’s annual complimentary Independence Day shebang was temporarily defused by the Friends of Fair Parks’ failure to launch due to the charge of economic uncertainty which took this year’s patriotic boom by complete surprise.
I think witty Benjamin Franklin would have found great humor in the now you see it, now you don’t, Cinco de Julio fireworks show with leftover fireworks and a generous donation by Gold Metal Recyclers. Thanks to the 11th hour sponsor; the Pyrotechnic Spree is saved!

Solving DISD Budget Crisis Will Take Common Sense Solutions
In reviewing the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over whose fault the current school debt crisis is in DISD, we can’t depend on the State. Citizens and Corporate Dallas needs to own up and quash the talk about firing or paying off teachers to leave which would raise the classroom ratio to 35/1. It’s time we get real and do what should have been done a long time ago in regards to sales tax, property tax and privatization.
After thinking about it, it’s awfully coincidental that our public school failings, both fiscally and behaviorally, began when helicopter parents, lawyers and overly sensitive public school administrators jacked the Six Grade Crossing Guard.

SHREK THE MUSICAL is the official State Fair Musical
When introducing children to a professional theater company, as a parent I feel one of the best ways for them to develop an appreciation for live performance is to start with a familiar character. With the popularity of SHREK on the big screen, this one’s a natural for children who adore the lovable swamp-dwelling, farting, ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, together they fight a fearsome dragon, rescue a feisty princess and learn that real friendship, true love and hero’s aren’t just in fairy tales.
