Welcome All

to the SDRoads' News and Entertainment Center, where there is always more than one road to take. Perhaps I should call it the News, Entertainment, and Commentary Center. ... Nahhh. One day, a real forum. For now, this, with it's comment sections. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. And stay tuned for information on our up and coming sister site. Happy Reading -SD

To put it in the words of...

How does the saying go? What's one man's trash is another man's ... oh yeah, treasure. Well, I say: What's one man's news is another man's disagreement. Here, at the site, I have always encouraged all to share their views, no matter what they may be, while being respectful. I have expressed more than once that there is always two sides to any given story, sometimes more. Please, let's not forget that. I think one should look at the big picture here, before making a conclusion and/or judgment. That, actually, is the whole point behind this site, hence the reason for the title. An event can happen, and there may be 5 stories that come from it, all possibly being considered news. And that is my commentary. -SDRoads, Administrator

In Response

"..."

I do not "keep" (on) doing that (claiming that Obama is a Muslim). As a matter of fact, technically, I have not done it once. As I recall, I never used names. AND, we must all keep in mind that the 3 now down to 2 head honchos are not the only ones running. And that is my commentary. -SDRoads

Further, I had written something to the affect that I don't even know the gentleman, nor what his religious beliefs and practices are. I just need to set the record straight here. The bigger picture and point were missed. -SDRoads

I am thinking a lot of what you said about the support factor.Of course, I do realize you may have been being a wee bit sarcastic, HOWEVER, perhaps you weren't. I am hoping for the latter. Wink -SD

Funny how sites like this love to misrepresent facts to their readers. I never did a book and or film on John Mark Karr, and never intended to. John's brother's bought me in as a publicist to stop the spin about them inroducing John to the Ramsays which was not true.

So get your facts straight. It is a sad day when blogs like this are posted.

Hi guys. I am happy to see your comments, though they are not too user friendly, if you get my point. LoL Just know that a.) I am constantly interacting with folks here at the site, and off it, through e~mail ect., with respect to the site, and b.) I don't believe a blog has limitations. I know that a blog is for the purpose of sharing ideas and personal thoughts. That happens here, along with something else that is very dear. But, why should that just be limited to one person? This is the blog for all. And, I don't apologize for that. Again, thank you for your thoughts. Negative comments are better than none at all. Please feel welcome here. -SDRoads

Oh, I nearly forgot the most important point. If you read the entire post in question, you would see that it was sourced out of a well known site. I did not write the article, however, I felt it was interesting and wanted to share it here. Please feel free to express more on your side of it, with respect to discrepancies in the story. By the way, I have looked at many blogs, and they are all different, offering many things to the viewers. Again, I don't think a blog should be limited to what one viewer feels it should be "intended for". Humbly, SDRoads

An above comment was removed by me simply because it was an accidental repeat of my previously posted comment above the removed post. I would like to add here a response to the following:

~Funny how sites like this love to misrepresent facts to their readers.~

I never misrepresented facts. I never misrepresented anything. I simply shared with viewers an article I had found. Hence the reason for the title of the posting: Something of Interest to Our Readers from the Not So Distant Past. It is up to the viewer to believe or disbelieve. I am not their keeper, nor am I their programmer, treating them as robots, deciding what they should think and feel, and express. We all have free will. Thank you again for your time. -SD

***~~~Karr's Family Selling Book, Movie Rights
By Stephen M. Silverman

Relatives of accused JonBenet Ramsey killer John Mark Karr secured movie and book rights to the family's story on Wednesday, and hope to use any money raised to hire a defense attorney for Karr and pay for college for his three teenage sons.

Karr's father, Wexford Karr, and brother hired SilverCreek Entertainment president Larry Garrison to represent them in any media deals and to help them find a top lawyer to represent Karr, the Associated Press reports.

According to the AP, no money has changed hands. Garrison told the Los Angeles Times that Karr's family believes Karr is innocent, despite his statements that he was with the 6-year-old JonBenet when she was killed in Boulder, Colo., on Dec. 26, 1996.

Meanwhile, Karr, 41, remains in L.A. County's Twin Towers jail, where he has met with a psychiatrist twice and is on suicide watch. Since he arrived there Sunday night from Thailand, his mental state and physical safety have been monitored by sheriff's deputies who look in on him every 15 minutes, the AP reports.
"Our goal is to keep him safe and secure," Steve Whitmore, spokesperson for Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, told the Los Angeles Times. "We are watching him very carefully."

At a court hearing Tuesday, Karr agreed to be sent to Colorado to face charges including first-degree murder, felony murder, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.

California and Colorado authorities would not say when Karr will be transferred.

Karr's family has said Karr was with them and not in Colorado over Christmas 1996, when JonBenet was murdered.

Georgia attorney Gary Harris, who once represented Karr's father and brother Nate, tells the AP that at the time, Karr was unemployed and "couldn't afford to buy a MARTA (Atlantic public transportation) or bus ticket, much less plane fare to Colorado."

For more on this story, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Chances are zero he left her.

But to be bit more realistic and logical about it, take a look at the history of how many women have left him:

Quientana? her parents saved her.

Lara? she filed for divorce when she found out what trouble he was in. He didnt even stick around to help her raise or support his boys.

Close friends? too numerous to mention.

Internet followers? 99%

Who do you think left who SD?

Perhaps you could be there for him. He certainly may need some support.

Re:

I don't just have "news". I have commentary, in the form of posts from the segment, "And that is my commentary~SDRoads." I also have informational links, entertainment sections, cross talk sections, I have begun incorporating sports trivia into my site, I focus on the weather in the form of posts/comments and a constantly running weather link. In addition, I have links for financial information. I have also begun 2 other sections. As in a newspaper, not all of the items to be read are "news". There normally are other sections offered to viewers, as well. Lastly, I would like to mention here that I focus on the arts a bit, too. This site is what I said it was, "a news and entertainment center" with bonuses. I appreciate your concern about the Obama issue, and can understand your commentary. However, in my opinion, it doesn't truly apply to me, for the reason above, ie, I added the "And that is my commentary ~ SDRoads". I can't hold back information that I feel needs to be expressed and shared. Sometimes, people think one way, and believe in something, and then wake up to a rude awakening. I try to cover all ground. I work with sources that provide me with information I deem important enough to share with the world at large. Many many people held back what they felt... and look what happened to the Jews so many years ago. We need a voice, good, bad or indifferent. Every single one of us. All of us, and I want to provide that platform. Also, please keep in mind that I have been very careful to do qualifying things such as, but not limited to, citing my sources carefully, less the anonymous kind, mentioning that this is "hypothetical" here and yonder. You see, my friend, I don't want anyone to feel they can not share their ideas here. I have properly disclosed that before, in even greater detail with additional disclosure that offending others will not be allowed. I like to show all sides, the good, bad, and the indifferent, and be as impartial as possible. And, I am pretty sure that I have stated here, more than once, to look at the good and bad, pros and cons, and of all the candidates. But, I feel that is something one has to do on their own quiet time and really listen to their heart on it. If a man gets hit on the head with a baseball bat, by another man, it is news. So, why shant it be considered news when a man, or woman, hits the heart and soul of another human being, particularly with respect to politics and the future of our country? As I once wrote here, your news is my news. (Just as a side thought. I sure would like to know the original source of Obama being a Christian. LoL And, I do mean the original, not the regurgitated stuff.) I never said go into this closed minded with blinders on and pick a candidate you'd like to see make it to the Presidency. And, you are missing the broader point here, which truly affects all of us, all over the world. Basically, in a nutshell, it is hard to try and pick a candidate for nomination when things keep changing all the time, new things keep popping up in a when~will~it~end frenzie and free~for~all, cat (and dog) fights ensue, within the political walls of justice in Campaign Land. I feel you always have to consider the what ifs and the what if nots. I feel one has to take into consideration that we don't really know what is truly going on with all of these candidates, with respect to their political views, agendas, nor as with what goes on behind the scenes, hence the reasoning behind the title of this site, Who Really Knows Anyone, or Anything. And take it a step further, and notice if touches on protection measures, protection of us all in all things. That's one of the reasons I like McCain (I won't say so much for I don't yet know all of his political views and agendas. I just simply liked the fact he didn't get in onto all of that backbiting in quite the same way other candidates, whom shall remain nameless at this time, had. My mother once ran for a very important office in Massachusetts, as you know, and got one third of the vote without even campaigning or ... backbiting. Yeah, it is possible! One of my stories I have in the pile up touches on many of these subjects, I just don't have the time to do it all, what with family, school, work, and some additional and needed projects. I don't have a full staff yet. I need a secretary with my busy and hectic~at~times schedule. That is a goal of mine. I am aiming on having a full but moderate full time pay staff. I am like 7 postings behind, but, the stories are doozies, most covering the political front. In your next e-mail to me, you ask if I am mad at you. My answer was no. In the e-mail after that you ask if I had been on that train trip that meet with unfortunate demise. My answer was no. You had shown concern there, asking I let you know if I am o.k. Thank you. I am. I just did not have access to a computer for days. I shall post this at the site, for I feel it touches on some important issues. then, I must do my homework. Thank you for your time and input. Sincerely, SDRoads
