She said Barrow knocked her to the floor and began striking her. 'He was hitting me while on the floor before he started to choke me,' the woman told police.... The woman was treated for minor facial injuries at St. Anne's Hospital, the police report states.... When asked about the injuries the woman sustained, Barrow allegedly told police, 'She falls down all the time.'..."<BR/><BR/>see:<BR/>http://www.zwire.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=17368121&BRD=1710&PAG=461&dept_id=99784&rfi=8<BR/>http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-06/10-25-06/05local.htm<BR/>http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/newsblog/archives/2006/10/umass_prof_who.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-75121553232806361862008-07-15T16:05:00.000-04:002008-07-15T16:05:00.000-04:00It's not "shallow research," it's called lobbying ...It's not "shallow research," it's called lobbying from within the system. Barrow's not in the business of doing real research, following the scientific method, etc. He's in the business of finding the tiny pieces of information that help his cause, howsoever he can come up with them (counting license plates, gaming the poll questions, etc.), then preaching as if he's an honest, simple Professor.

There is always a glowing accounting of the financial and job benefits but never an accounting of the costs. <BR/><BR/>For instance, taxes lost from existing business that is displaced by an Indian casino, net job numbers counting the substitution effect, social costs of compulsive gambling, regulatory costs and so forth. <BR/><BR/>Very shallow research indeed.Mark Belangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377845343337691704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-58155846362349373482008-07-15T00:42:00.000-04:002008-07-15T00:42:00.000-04:00Clyde has an agenda to confirm his mindset.

That's the educational component of Clyde's phoney manipulation to create stats that validate his convictions.

Shouldn't an expert keep up with the times? If he were truly an expert on casiNO's he'd of figured out that casino intrests have been , and still are, losing the battle. Here's an expert opinion:Tell people the truth about the revenue(stagnant) and tell them the truth about impacts (crime,addiction,etc.) that will cost taxpayers millions. Tell everyone that in order to cover the truth, you, Mr.Barrow must keep lying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
