dark side

I love my community.
I use my unbiased lens to lift her up each day.
I have not missed a day of doing so for five years now.
I hope you enjoy my galleries like "Picture-A-Day" and "This is Findlay" or just "Candid Shots Around Town."
But there is a dark side . . .

My opinion:

Barack Obama is the President of the United States
Mitt Romney may become the next President of the United States
I promise that I will give each the same respect . . . regardless.

My Letter to the Editor which was published in "The Courier" on September 28, 2012:

THERE'S A DARK SIDE TO FINDLAY

Recently, in the drive-through line at McDonalds, there was a late model van in front of me with a decal on its rear window depicting a young lad urinating on the word "OBAMA."

I love this community and I lift it up every day by posting photographs on my website of what is going on around town. I've been doing this every day for the past five years. I never miss a day.

Perhaps you have enjoyed one of my galleries such as "Picture-A-Day" and "This is Findlay" or maybe just "Candid Shots Around Town." But there is this dark side that disturbs me.

Barack Obama is the president of the United States. Mitt Romney may become the next president of the United States. I promise I will respect each man who may hold the office, regardless.

If you like living in a small town, I say it doesn't get any better than Findlay. Will you join me in this promise? We can do better!

We live in a suburb of "GlennBeckastan" and have found the best way to inject sanity and truth into our area is through Letters to the Editor, including links to sites debunking the lies that are being spread through the media. We have a group that meets regularly to discuss the worst messages being spread and choose them to respond to with a truthful and respectful tone. Meeting hate with hate doesn't work.

It is amazing how many people think nothing of showing their basest sides.

The guy who tried to run me off the road was in a pickup. Unfortunately I did'nt have my camera with me or he would be in jail.

Brother Bill, you don't think this is the guy who tried to run you off the road, do you???

I've never seen anything like this before. I agree with your sentiments completely. Great editorial image.

I find no humor in this kind of behavior.

Could someone please explain what kind of lesson we are teaching with this kind of disrespect? There may be children in this van. There are certainly children reading the back of this van...
