Or maybe Wal Mart and Albertsons are the best and only ways to get food. - better informed Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:10:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22185 You can slither but you can't hide, snaildarter! - Walter Pierce Mon, 19 Sep 2011 07:57:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22184 Pierce wrote a one-sided piece! Egads, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. I thought the Ind was so fair and all that scubula. - snaildarter Mon, 19 Sep 2011 05:57:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22181 The Ind has publicly noted who pays what, and the usual trouble-makers turn up. We must build a legislature willing to, among several things, close this loophole in the law. Or, maybe that wasn't your stated aim. I'm not sure you'll ever qualify for such luxuries if you haven't already, unless you start giving some really great 'back rubs.' I don't think any of the 'problem solvers' i know are paying $20 a year on their 500 acres, either. (We should just fix that law.) - better informed Mon, 19 Sep 2011 02:56:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22171 :( I did spell agricultural incorrectly. But you get the point!! - the original northsidian Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:08:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22170 Better Informed, What I am trying to learn from the problem solvers is this: How can I get my non-agricultrial property classified as agricultrial? So my property tax will be $20.00 a year! Any ideas? And by the way, I really just hate very few! - the original northsidian Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:21:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22158 'all the others' you hate so much sometimes leave lafayette because people like you seem never to wise up. Lafayette is not a little country town, anymore, and it wouldn't be one with all the lights turned out. That said, why don't you try to learn from 'others' who want to work with you and for you to actually solve some problems in our community, like, those who actually 'play us (all) to the max.' - better informed Sun, 18 Sep 2011 02:53:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22134 Stephen Handwerk is just like all the others that have left Lafayette. The standard line goes like this: I have to think of my family, etc. (yada yada yada) and cannot pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. They come to this little country town and play us to the max. We need to wise up. Where is this pimple from? - the original northsidian Sat, 17 Sep 2011 07:50:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22085 by Compassionate One "nor does it get my paper in the morning.... ---------------- Paper? What's a paper? - Gunga Din Fri, 16 Sep 2011 08:44:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22065 It also doesn't hand me $20 to vote for whomever is on my "card"!! - RCajunrunner Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:59:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22059 by Stephen Handwerk "Kudos to Walter and the team at the Ind for quickly publishing my response. ----------------------- Kudos!

Kudos are deadly. - Gunga Din Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:35:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22049 OUCH, Old Paint.... "I felt the earth move under my feet. - HARDHAT Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:47:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22039 "Firstly, Porsha was in a junior staff position at DHAP and was doing exactly as she was instructed by her superiors." Handwerk is not doing Porsha any favors here by using the defense of "I was just following orders." That defense is the refuge of cowards and individuals without conscience as is evidenced throughout history. Handwerk seems to fit that mold. - Old Paint Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:43:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22036 Because it doesn’t’ help educate one child. It doesn’t help fill one pot hole, it doesn’t put one person back to work or create one job. ----- OMG, as Compassionate as I am, this is nauseating. Nor does it put a paperclip on my paper, nor does it rake my leaves, nor does it get my paper in the morning.... Anyone else want to add to the liberal bleeding/ranting......?? - Compassionate One Wed, 14 Sep 2011 20:44:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22031 I think the Democrats are all crazy, but I'm still going to vote for Ricky Hardy and Mike Stagg. - barb Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:01:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22028 Mr. Handwerk can say all he wants about speaking for himself and not for the Lafayette Democratic Party, but they are one and the same. These same folks will host a forum for the candidates, but they will not endorse anyone, even though by any standard Rep. Hardy has acquitted himself well in Baton Rouge. And now a member of the Lafayette Democratic Party is calling the District 44 representative a liar. Why go to a forum when you can simply go to door-to-door and on the streets and take your message to all of the constituents of your district? Save me from all the bias arguments. If Pierre wants a fight, all he has to do is go to Rickey's house and knock on the door. - yesidoknow Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:42:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22025 Even Ray Charles could see this is an ambush, as Mr. Hardy might say. - Cajunhiker Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:33:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22016 Kudos to Walter and the team at the Ind for quickly publishing my response. - Stephen Handwerk Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:04:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9017-up-against--himself#comment-22015 Thank you for balancing the previous--and entirely one-sided--story. - SuperHero Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:54:14 +0100
