Nothing original to add…really have appreciated you both over the years, as well as the other contributors at various points. It gets discouraging to keep writing about many of the same political and societal follies and not see more constructive change come out of it….

All good things to both of you.

Hi Richard,

You and Steve made All Spin Zone a major part of the Philly blog scene. I called it a cornerstone over at Susie’s. I’m sad to see it go, but understand, facing some things myself with Philly Future (trying to figure out what its future should be actually - I think I have an idea). I hope you both feel some well deserved pride for all you’ve accomplished here and am looking forward to what you both do next.

Karl

Wishing you well. I’ll miss the blog, but if you feel it’s time, I’m sure you’re right.

With kind regards,

I’ve read your website regularly for a long time and enjoyed what you have had to say.

I could see that you have been drifting away from it the last few months, and suspected that something like this might be in the works.

Thanks for your effort, and best of luck.

Comment on Pennsylvania Borough Gives Homeless the ‘Cold Shoulder’ by E in MD

way to stay classy, Pennsylvania.

Having been homeless twice, I can empathize when them very easily. It’s a fucked up situation and nonsense like this only makes it worse.

Personally I’d tell the city council to fuck off. Caring for the homeless is a religious issue for Christian churches isn’t it? They’re commanded to do it. So tell the city council that it calls under the First Amendment and to mind their own damned business.

As much as I rag on churches and religion, being an Atheist, I have to side with the churches on this one.

Comment on The Courage of Michael Vick by LarryE

Just wanted to say excellent post. I have a nephew who went into the Peace Corps - and, as is significantly often true with the sort of courageous people you mention, he didn’t seem to think it was all that special that he did do. It was just what he thought he should do.

Thank you both and best wishes. Catch you on Facebook.

Forget all the references to courage. The fact that he says 95% of the world has had an easier time of life than he has might be the most inane statement I’ve heard made by any media personality, controlling for anti-vaccination advocates.

Nineteen out of twenty people in the world have it better than an American multi-millionaire, I don’t think so.
