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.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Regarding "Police ask for help in North Side slaying" (June 12): What is most shocking about the recent unnecessary slaying of a vibrant 14-year-old girl, Charez Jones, is the inability of Minneapolis and its leadership to allocate public safety dollars in a reasonable and responsible manner.
A recent announcement that the city will allocate extra resources to combat panhandling downtown was preceded by an article describing the annoyance of sitting outside at Nicollet Mall and being inconvenienced by a panhandler.
Panhandling is an annoying quality-of-life crime, but let us take stock for a moment. Those additional police personnel should be patrolling the areas where crime is not a nuisance, but a matter of life and death. So, as crime rates climb through the summer on the North Side, I apologize for not being concerned about panhandling downtown.
SARAH WALKER, MINNEAPOLIS
We have a budget deficit here in Saint Paul of over 15 million and the leadership here thinks it is more important to build a police precinct to the tune of 10 million dollars.
Do the police need a $10 million dollar castle?
Wouldn't a 1 million dollar mansion suffice?
Then we could throw money at the elderly who will be threaten with condemnation of their homes because they can't repair them due to over burden property tax.
We could spend the money on the budget deficit.
I am glad these people in local City government do not balance my household budget. I'd have to eat at Dorthy Day to make ends meet.
