Thank you for...Dear CM Politics and Personalities,<br /><br />Thank you for addressing the “genes are destiny” foolishness. <br /><br />I have read the blogger you mention. Over the years I found myself agreeing with many of his comments on our local politics and his ideas to improve our city. <br /><br />He could be an effective advocate for our city: he is against crime and blight and often speaks about irresponsible use of taxpayers' dollars. Hard to argue with that. He is very articulate when he speaks at city council meetings and shows lots of passion. No complaint here.<br /> <br />However, I have to reject the concept that DNA predetermines one's actions, I believe our actions follow the decisions and the choices we make. <br /><br />Whenever a Black commits a crime, it isn’t his DNA robbing or raping someone. He made a bad decision and should suffer the consequences. If his DNA compelled him to attack a White person he’d be guilt-free. That’s as rational as saying that he was compelled by the stars to rob that drugstore.<br /><br />This blogger is his own worst enemy. His good ideas about improving the Westside pale beside his illogical diatribe about racial genetics. He wants to be taken seriously but it’s hard to entertain even a good idea from someone who preaches that genetics causes violent crime. <br /> <br />His insight and passion to improve Costa Mesa is wasted. His ideas are often good but not taken seriously because the idea came from him. <br /><br />He would do himself and our city the most good if he concentrated on improving our city and left the illogical claptrap for Clan meetings.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
