Just like your not taking our legal firearms and high capacity magazines away! Can we get our designated cigarette smoking areas in the workplace, bars, clubs, restaurants, diners, theaters, movies, sporting events, beaches and parks back? As well as get rid of the cigarette taxes and bike lanes? <br /><br />Get used to losing Bloomberg because it is going to happen a lot more often! With any luck the next mayor will undo all the damage you've done!<br /><br />- James from <a href="http://www.nycbody.com" rel="nofollow">NYCbody.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925932461592547794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-40442336060433094602013-07-30T18:03:49.641-04:002013-07-30T18:03:49.641-04:00I don't think the enormity of a 911 system tha...I don't think the enormity of a 911 system that crashes half a dozen times a day has hit most people. Unfortunately it takes a Katrina kind of situation for people to realize how bad a politician really is. Certainly that's what it took for people to see Bush for what he was. I hope to God we do NOT have another Sandy or any other emergency that requires tens of thousands of 911 calls in a twenty four hour period because the system will crash and people will die as a result. But that's the sort of thing that has to happen before people really get the point about a politician who, up until now, has had very, very good press to cover his mistakes for him. Bloomberg got a little bit during the Boxer Day Blizzard, but mostly he has skirted accountability for the 911 system debacle, CityTime, his piss-poor preparations for Sandy, etc.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-18127551000826049722013-07-30T17:59:44.505-04:002013-07-30T17:59:44.505-04:00I agree - the 911 system mess has gotten some pres...I agree - the 911 system mess has gotten some press, but few people seem to understand how serious it is. We had better hope there is not another Sandy because Bloomberg's 911 system will crash worse than Cathie Black's educator career. Who knows how many people would be affected by this?<br /><br />It is a shame that Michael Wolff and Bill Keller and the rest of the suck up press are too busy lapping at Bloomberg to realize how much he has screwed up.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-84867721515492551362013-07-30T17:57:54.180-04:002013-07-30T17:57:54.180-04:00Great point.

I think most people pretty much aware in NYC about what is going on with the 911 debacle and everyone is pretty aware of the entire "Stop and Frisk" situation. Point is, this is a victory, (although small) for the people of NYC against Dictator Bloombucks. It is like chopping down a tree. It takes many small whacks to get the job done. Each victory for the people against Bloombucks is one more whack at him and his enormous ego.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-15645324623453304162013-07-30T14:34:08.788-04:002013-07-30T14:34:08.788-04:00The worst part of this saga is that everyone has b...The worst part of this saga is that everyone has been distracted by the oversized soda ban.
