Recently major news networks are starting to do stories about local police departments getting cut backs in staffing because of a lack of funding due to the worsening economy. Unfortunately I started warning about this 3 years ago. Their stories focus on the human side of more folks losing their jobs and that is certainly legitimate.What they failed to mention for one reason or another is the impact those cuts have on the personal security and personal safety of the citizens in those towns in many ways.1. Budget cuts lead to lower wages for police and fire safety officers making the career field less attractive 2. Response times are lengthened due to less personnel to respond.3. Support resources are cut too. Here is Colorado Springs the helicopter that was used to chase down the bad guys was cut. 4.

You might have seen it? The original picture postcard card from world war one, whereby a little girl sits on her fathers knee and the son sits by his feet playing with lead soldiers. And the by-line on the card says Daddy, what did you do in the war. And the father looks on blankly. In its day it was used to guilt men into action to join up, so that later in life they would be proud to be able to tell their children of their efforts during one of the worlds most perilous times. Well the same post card is now used in a mock comic way to comment on global warming. The picture remains the same but this time, the son instead of playing with soldiers, looks onward at a globe and the card now says Daddy - what did you do about climate change. Buying a green mobile phone might seem a trite answer, but its actually part of the greater solution.
