Maybe governmetn should fess up to the poverty and crime they've created. Instead of trying to 'do more', they should undo what they've already done.

Too bad we can't ask the dead of Philadelphia what they think

We already know, they voted for Kerry in droves..

Just another Culture of Corruption Dem run city....
Pa. would be a red state if not for Puke-adelphia.

I used to work in north Philly. When I'd close up shop at night there would be youngs gentlemen on their way "somewhere" carrying guns openly. Needless to say I got out. The only reason for me to visit Philly now is for a cheese steak.

And the City Council is worried about tobacco smoking in private businesses.............go figger.

Gee, at the end of the editorial it seems President Bush was referred to several times. The editorial board seems to have forgotten the police department and Mayor of Philly and the Governor of Pennsylvania.

Back in May, the Philadelphia legislative delegation pleaded with the governor to send at least 50 state police officers to help stem the gun violence.

Oh, those wacky guns....leaping off the shelves all by themselves and committing all that violence....  /sarc

Just last week, Mayor Street announced a new crackdown on curfew violations in South Philadelphia. Kids under 18 caught on the streets after midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 10:30 p.m. the rest of the week will be sent home or to a curfew center manned by volunteers.

Okay, volunteers? Not all at once, please.

Lived in Philly way too long. Right downtown, just a few blocks from City Hall.

Hated it about 95% of the time. I do miss my Sunday breakfast scrapple though.

Philly's a city "of the libtards, by the libtards, for the libtards," and deserves to perish from the earth.

I think the scenes of a devastated, post-apocalyptic Philly City Hall are part of the reason I love the movie 12 Monkeys so much.

Note to admin moderator: scrapple is not the in spell check dictionary. Given what it's made of, I'm not sure it should be either.

How did we reach this crisis? Because for too long this town's private and public leadership have been asleep.

Now if they could just get others to sleepover too.

Philly had more murders in the early 90s than it did last year. I'm not sure how it will shake out this year.
