With the local response from Charleston being zero on
protecting this site for local use, I have decided to keep the sites and
use them for my personal blog sites. The information on safety will remain
as a resource and I hope it is used. I will be adding software to accommodate
the blog. You will be able to interact and be involved whether you agree
with me or not. However hate speech, threats, and other such actions will
be reported and those using such tactics will be banned. Communication is
great! Hate sucks! Your host, Len
I have labored over the Exxon/Mobile
issue for quite a while. After watching interviews with Exxon Execs and
reading released statements from Exxon/Mobile I feel no choice. The
current gasoline price, global warming, discrimination issues, and Exxon's
reaction is unacceptable. Some examples below.
Exxon
Mobil shareholders rejected efforts to make the oil giant a bit greener
Wednesday.
Shareholders of Exxon Mobil Corp have blocked an in-house effort to push
the oil giant further into renewable energy and set targets for curbing
climate-damaging emissions at an annual meeting on Wednesday in
Texas. Read
the article.
Exxon
made corporate history by booking $11.7 billion in quarterly profit.
Discrimination
and Exxon
These are but a few reasons why we should boycott Exxon until the profit
rich, ($40.61 billion), in 2007. Just do a Google
search on Exxon and you will see pages more. Exxon attitudes and
statements showing that management and shareholders place profit over
national best interest are paramount. In the Today Show interview the CEO
stated that Americans needed to curb their dependency on oil. Good lets
start by not pulling up to Exxon pumps. Why should we pay their prices
when they do not place a priority on our national best interests with
regard to price and pollution? Just look at Exxon profit versus gas per
gallon prices for a real twinge. Gasoline prices do make for an unsafe
situation. Local news has already spoken to bicycle riders and
automobile accidents. Gas theft is on the rise in several areas. Not just
commercial but from vehicles as well.

Home Rule? A good thing for Charleston?
Well it may well be if our city leaders utilize Home Rule to address
the abandoned building issue in Charleston. We can only hope.

Safety comes in many ways and is enhanced by many things.
Lighting, safe construction, jobs, security systems, telecommunication systems,
mass communication such as television and radio, heating systems, water,
all add to our safety and enhance our safety. So my next venture will be
an anonymous survey to determine what you the citizens feel about;
Utility companies - the rate increases and service provided.
Television & radio stations, newspapers, - coverage and accuracy
provided.
Neighborhood safety and how to improve.
Additional topics as brought by the survey responses.
The surveys are not online and I Have received quite a few
emails on local utilities, rate hikes, issues, and service. Per these
emails most of our local utility companies are not very popular. Leading
the pack on the low end, (most unpopular), close numbers between
West Virginia American Water and Verizon. The only company to receive
positive feedback was Suddenlink. As this is based on just emails and not
the actual survey, I will wait to post more on this until the survey is up
and results come in. As West Virginia American Water is seeking another
rate hike that may be a major reason for such placement. So make sure you
check back to take the surveys. The results will be sent to the appropriate
companies and city leaders.
