Re: Ann Arbor Knife Attacks

Imagine thinking low crime means no crime... Again, going back 50 years, there was a peeper exhibitionist who "worked" the garden level rooms in North Campus Dorm buildings, not far from Fuller Rd. According to female victims, he was also statistically near impossibly endowed. Because they could on...

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive

When WNEM was really on Channel 5, 76-82 MHz, it came in well in the coverage area of WBKB. When WTOM was really on Channel 4, 66-72 MHz, also covered much of the Alpena area. When a bank gave us a little TV to watch in the car and on picnics for opening an account, I remember seeing WEYI and WFUM a...

Ann Arbor Knife Attacks

I just read last week that Ann Arbor is one of the safest cities in the country. Now, a surly, angry man has attacked at least two people with knives after they "bumped in to him". I know the area well from when I was there, Matt. And there was a lot of crime near there even 50 years ago. A friend o...

Re: John Sinclair dies

I didn't agree with John Sinclair on much, but he was a big area radio fan when he was young, and on that I agreed. His recordings of Ernie Durham on WBBC circa 1958, and incidental related historical commentary on area radio, are absolutely classic. I admired him for that, and am sad that he has pa...

Re: In The Vast Majority Of The World, Marijuana Is Illegal

That should not even be a question. What people do or do not want to ingest and why is their business and no one else as long as they don't harm anyone else. Secondhand marijuana smoke is harmful to others. Plus it's annoying to people around you. Strange that on many college campuses, you can get ...

Re: In The Vast Majority Of The World, Marijuana Is Illegal

Asian Americans are far less likely to use Marijuana than other ethnic groups. Is that because they are "smarter" to choose not to use it, or are they "smarter" because they don't use it? I have to respect them for that either way. Studies have shown that regular marijuana use lowers IQ scores by an...

Did you take the weekend off your meds? You've been posting crazy again.

Apparently, your "meds" are illegal in this country. So you went to Amsterdam. What's your next stop, Bangkok?
