Now that's a long career
« on: January 04, 2013, 06:37:21 PM »
I don't know much about him...but you'd think people must have been pretty happy with the job he did to elect him 10 times or so.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I lived in Pickaway County for a large part of my younger life.  Sheriff Radcliff was a fixture there.  I'm amazed at how years later, and thousands of miles away, the news that he's retiring affects me.

Yes and he has promised to run again when this term runs out.  He will be 84 in 1016.  Go Joe.

Do you mean that to be "Go, Joe. Go far away!"?

Joe's a bit of total asshat.
