SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.

St. Paul / Gang activity rattles Rondo library
Shooting puts neighborhood on edge
BY LAURA YUEN
Pioneer Press
St. Paul neighborhood leaders said Monday they're worried that a suspected gang shooting last weekend put yet another stain on the new Rondo library, even though the confrontation happened more than a mile away.
"It's kind of a touchy situation," said Rondo librarian Alice Neve. "The facts are that the shooting didn't happen here."
Two St. Paul men in their 20s were shot near the White Castle on Rice Street late Saturday night. They drove to the apartments above the Rondo Community Outreach Library at Dale Street and University Avenue, where police responded to a call for help.
Officers are questioning a man in custody but stopped short of calling him a suspect. Neither of the wounded men has life-threatening injuries. Police believe all three men are involved in gangs.
"We probably will never have specifics," police spokesman Tom Walsh said. "We're not getting a great deal of cooperation from victims."
Although the shooting didn't happen at the $24 million library building, some residents in the apartment complex fear retaliation and a sense that they don't know their neighbors, said Dan Kravetz, an organizer with the Aurora-St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corp.
His group, which helped develop the library building, is hoping to host a meeting soon to address the incident and encourage neighbors to be vigilant. The once-troubled Dale-University intersection is safer than many other parts of the city, police say.
But a television news segment about the shooting that showed squad cars parked in front of the library didn't help perceptions, community members said.
The library staff felt a "sense of urgency" to provide more youth programming after roughhousing kids caused some commotion there late last fall, Neve said. In one instance, a teen pulled a knife, she said. Police quickly responded and were able to quell the incident.
The library staff met earlier this year with area pastors, residents and neighborhood leaders to address safety concerns. They now offer workshops teaching the history of hip-hop and arts programs targeting young people. Either an off-duty police officer or a security guard is working every night of the week at the library, Neve said.
"Our strategy is to offer as many positive alternatives to fooling around," she said. "We have zero tolerance for talking back and zero tolerance for hitting. We are implementing positive things every day, and sometimes an incident gives us pause as to what more we can do."

Now, Now, Rondo library is accountable for this tradgy. It's a building and trouble found it's door step just like it did at Diva's bar and so many other buildings that are now condemned or demolished.
I say tear it down!
I agree that a building named Rhondo is just an attraction for gang activity which would fall under the " The bill that classifies certain gang activities and the habitual use of particular
places for gang activity as a public nuisance." aka Nuisance Law File 49. Its a shame such a new and structurally sound building must now be condemned and demolished, but that is the policy of St.Paul.
The only problem property in the city is City hall, and that is the one that ought to be demolished.
