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

The epidemic of street-side drug dealing has the St. Paul politicians blaming the usual suspects, the property owners and the landlords.
Having just gone through an intense
experience of dealing with the arrival of Wisconsin squatters who just broke into a property on lower Burr Street, I was very aware of the rampant drug dealing on the 800 block of Burr Street. It was everywhere, both sides of the little store at Case and Burr. Teenage blacks were out in force approaching people and cars. It was truly an open-air drug market.
So when I went to a meeting at the
Eastside precinct sponsored by
Councilman Lee Helgren on crime in the community, I knew the situation, and I had a pretty good idea of the usual cookie cutter approach that government likes to use. Itʼs the same from community to community, city to city: have the property owners brought in to a meeting, have a safe cop, or in St. Paul a force cop,
along with some city officials from the Fire Department and Inspection Department lecture the owners on the need to screen tenants better and do more community policing - or would that
be vigilanteism? The force officer went into the high-tech ways which the police have to track police calls and how this fit
into some science.
Hearing this, and having spent a day on Burr Street watching the numerous drug dealers, most who did not live on the block but came there like one would go to the trading floor of the New York
Board of Trades, I suggested that we didnʼt need a computer to find the crime—all we needed were our eyes. My past experiences with delinquent youths (yes, I spent six years as a juvenile officer
at the old HCJC guiding the confused, limiting the strong and protecting the weak), so I suggested to the Force
Officer that we should forget this trickledown approach to crime and start having officers I D these suspicious individuals
who usually had outstanding warrants or could be arrested for lying to the police, he informed me that he was only a lowly officer and something like this would have to go to the councilman or the commander.
Unfortunately, Lee Helgren was
not there, due to a death in the family,but righteous indignation is a start.

And it's a good thing Lee Helgen (aka Clark Kent) wasn't there Jim, he would have attempted to throw you out! He doesn't like folks armed with the truth. Truth doesn't fit Helgens political agenda.
Folk's, I will post a couple more stories from the Watchdog here over the next few days so we can talk about the issues.
The brass in the Ploice department is just as political as the city council. These people do not want to stop crime. The more the better for them. They are just proliferating their jobs by criminalizing law abiding people like landlords for the acts of renters. It's not ever going to change. It's about politics and control and not anything to do with crime fighting.
Hello Detroit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
