That’s The Brakes By Jon A. Brake, Manhattan Free Press Now this is from someone who supported the War on Terrorism. It appears to me that fighting the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran is like cleaning the garage floor. When you clean the water off the garage floor with a broom you push the water out of one area and into another. We can push the terrorist out of Afghanistan but the move to Iraq. We can push the terrorist out of Iraq but they move to Pakistan. It could be we need to tell the governments of these countries, “you keep them out, or we will come back and remove you.” EEditorialditorial PPageage MANHATTAN FREE PRESS - Thursday, July 15, 2010 44AA

Thoughts From The Prairie There You Go Again! One of Ronald Reagan’s favorite respons- es in political debates was, “Now, there you go again.” I use the expression in response to activists again initiating action they hope will result in the Manhattan City Commission modifying city ordinances to add protected status to transgender and bisexual lifestyles. But out here on the Prairie it seems to me the majority of those who choose these lifestyles are content with the freedom they already have and folks I know truly appreciate the wonderful open- ness of our Manhattan community. However, as experience has proven, the avid activists are not content with that free- dom. This group takes a militant approach to secure protection for their lifestyle, demanding that society pick up the tab. Most often these activists use the U.S. Court system where they have find many “friends.” However, in Manhattan, KS, they have found a different friend: The Manhattan City Commission.

The “Barefoot” Culture and the Promotion of Deviance CNN reports that police authorities in the Bahamas have captured 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore, known by the media as the “Barefoot Bandit.” This 19-year-old boy has been on the run from the law for more than two years for stealing cars, boats and even airplanes. Even his arrest ended in a dramatic fashion with a high-speed boat chase in the waters of Harbor Island. To some, the Barefoot Bandit is surely the stuff that great stories are made of. The question is whether or not this is a story worth repeating. It is within the framing of stories such as the Barefoot Bandit that we see the moral condition of the country.
