: : : Do either of you have any idea what is going on outside of Kittanning or Pittsburgh?
: : I am very up on world events if that is what you are speaking of. I just don't think there is anything wrong with giving updates about the Pittsburgh Mayor's condition. I see information about John Karr on just about every channel but if I don't want to hear about it any longer I simple turn the channel or turn it off or any other news subjects. I do have a life but I also have compassion.
: I am very aware of what is happening world wide and I think it is great that people are praying for the mayor of Pittsburgh.A little more compassion would not hurt any of us.
I am so happy to hear that you guys answered this post the way you have. I think so many times, many expect others to take positions of responsibility and authority in our society, but then disregard the sacrifices these people make. It's not always about the money. Our leaders are just that, leaders. Some aren't great, and some are in it only for the money, and they degrade the good works of those who are in it to make a difference. I just think it's awsome to hear good spirited responses to his ordeal. Keep up the prayers and good thoughts guys.
