We at DamnYouOhio.com are lifelong, committed Ohioans. While the negative angle may make you feel uncomfortable, that is somewhat the point. (We would be lying if we didn't admit that some of this stuff is just painfully funny.) The only way things will get better is to be completely clear and unafraid of our problems. This is what people are saying about our state; if we can't listen to them how can we make it better?

The Time Warner Cable Ad in Today's Akron Beacon Journal
In the Wednesday, August 31, 2005 Akron Beacon Journal there is a big ad on A4 that reads: "It cost me over $1000.00 in fines and 20 days in jail... it's just not worth it" This guy got that time for stealing cable.
This is all in today's newspaper which reports:
- Katrina will be costliest natural U.S. disaster.
- Cleveland is now #12 on the list of most poor cities. ...still crappy if you ask me with "only" 23.3 percent of people below the poverty line this year. To make the jump it did, there is something wrong with the report. It's not a natural jump. Either last year's report was wrong or this year's report is wrong. Usually in statistics, both are wrong and the numbers are somewhere in the middle.
- 1.1 million more Americans join legions of poor
- Oil is over $70 a barrel and the Gulf Coast refineries are shut down. How long do you think it's going to take to see $3/gallon for gas? I'm guessing it's next week.
- Natural gas prices are through the roof. This will probably be the costliest winter ever to heat our homes.
And now Time Warner is ready to send you to jail.
F- you Time Warner! People have got enough to worry about right now. Yeah, I'm sorry people are stealing your crappy cable. Maybe you could make it more affordable so guys like that poor sap in your ad can watch your fuzzy feed.

Ya know, I just had a friend who got that kind of time for his second big DUI offense.
That seems pretty steep to me. But we seem to love our money more than we love our people.
