God Bless America...The land of elitism, hypocrisy and excessive taxation

I shouldn't be able to drink since I wasn't alive when the mills shut down? What kind of twisted, inane logic is that? As if this town isn't already stuck in the past, let's reflect on the mills closing as a logical time table to allow drinking. The young people are the only ones who can help this community. Alienating them is the worst possible thing that could happen to this area. This dude is ridiculous.

Obama told the people in Youngstown what they wanted to hear. He is a politician, that's what they do.
Also, the little blurb about the children and the republicans was irrelevant to the content of the article.

Minority group: A subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their lives than members of a dominant or majority group. I'd say this town is ignoring almost everyone.

It seems that Bob and Wes are expressing concern and asking important questions about the relevance of the revitalization programs being implemented; albeit sometimes tactless, they are questioning the authority of the leaders and not accepting their ideas without logical thought and questioning. Cheerleading with your defend youngstown t-shirts isn't going to accomplish anything. Rah, Rah, let me play my guitar and change the world. It would be nice if it worked, but it's not going to. The problem with y-town and the people in the valley is their archaic ideals and tendency toward conformity. The mentality of this area must change before anything else can happen. Hell, put me in charge and I could rally the uninformed, inane masses into Utopia.

Artists and musicians are important aspects of building up the area, but they must be combined with other types of creative, non service jobs. No companies are interested in bringing their business to Y-town. The city needs to work to attract technology companies and other types of businesses to attract young professionals. Also, the people who go see Stevie Nicks, Kenny Loggins and Disney on Ice are not going to go out downtown afterward. They are going to go to their "safe" suburbs and eat at Denny's. If the Chevy Center could get some acts like Radiohead or Ryan Adams they will attract the young people. The baby boom generation is not going to revitalize y-town; the young adults and even adolescents must work together. YSU graduates have no choice but to leave because there are no jobs for them.

A large portion of the population in this valley are too resistant to change to allow any progress to occur. Football and steel are sure as hell not going to propel this town into prosperity. Companies do not want to bring their business to a place where dissent is seen as negatively as Hitler's Germany. Case in point: The above bloggers who were disgusted by the questioning of the "defend youngstown" movement. Yeah, I'm all for the revitalization of Youngstown and rebuilding the valley, but if I'm going to defend something I first want to believe in it. There is countless research on the importance of creativity and innovation to prospering urban areas. Native Youngstowners who are free thinking and creative often have to leave the area to do work they love. The young people in this region must work to get rid of the "old boys club" mentality and work to create a diverse, free thinking Youngstown.

"Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about." According to Twain's definition, it is more than likely you are a patriot.
