Re: Joe Bialek
Well, 24 hours have passed, and he's still not back...
Maybe it's because we didn't make any counterarguments so he felt there's no need to respond. Ok, I'll try to give him something.

Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Joe Bialek and I was born on September 12, 1963 just 40 days before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. |
Oh yeah? Well give me proof about that. And what's that got to do with Kennedy's assanssination anyway?
| quote: | | My family was originally from Cleveland, Ohio. It is the city of my current residence. I attended Padua High School in Parma, Ohio and went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Masters of Public Administration at the University of Akron. |
Again, you fail to back up your claims with any evidence. How do we know that you're what you claim to be? How could your birth have any relation with Kennedy's murder if he was assassinated in a totally different part of the US than the one in which you claim to be born?
| quote: | | In 1993, I moved back to Cleveland and resided in my grandfather's house located in the neighborhood known as Slavic Village. This is where my grandfather immigrated from Poland and the house where my father was born. |
So, you're a pole, eh? Well, then here's a good joke for you:
What's the contour integral around western Europe equal to?
Zero, because all the poles are living in eastern Europe, and the ones living in the western are removable! 
Ya, I'm a nerd, ok, I know.
| quote: | | I then ran for city council against the incumbent who was elected in 1985. After work each day I would walk to each of the 9,000 registered households from April to August and seemed to make a positive impression among the voters. |
You actually walked from house to house to talk to every single one of the 9000 voters?
| quote: | | However two other candidates entered the race and I finished last. The strange thing about the results, however, was the disparity between the absentee ballots and the card-punched ballots. According to the absentee ballots, I lost by a 2-to-1 margin to the incumbent but won by a 16-to-1 margin over the other two candidates. But according to the card-punched ballots, I finished last by just 4 votes. I was so exhausted by the campaign that a recount was the furthest from my mind. In the general election, the incumbent retained his seat. |
Well, regardless of everything, you lost. So even if you asked for a recount, I can't see what that would accomplish.
| quote: | | Shortly after the election, I was elected President of South East Clevelanders Together. The purpose of this non-profit group was to organize each of the twelve sub-neighborhoods located within Slavic Village (Ward 12) to address quality of life issues in an aggressive and systematic manner. |
So why does it then say that the president of the organization is Brain Kucia? And why is the organization not in Cleveland (Ward 12), but in Ohio, District 13?

| quote: | | Needless to say, it did not take long for our group to clash with the Councilman's housing group. Their primary objective was to build and rehabilitate housing without any real regard for the other issues affecting the residents and business owners. The councilman's father owns a large real estate company so I'll let you draw your own conclusion. Our funding was cut off from the City of Cleveland and efforts to raise money through foundations were sabotaged. |
What's the exact name of the group? The "Councilman's housing group" doesn't seem to exist.
| quote: | | Inevitably I was forced to use my own money to sustain the efforts of the organization. In spite of all the resistance, however, we were very successfull in organizing block clubs and civic associations as well as bringing pressure to provide solutions to the problems plaguing the community. |
So, where did you get money for that? Murky construction contracts? I hardly believe you managed to pay for it all out of your own pocket.
| quote: | | All during this time, the councilman attempted to spin my intentions as simply an effort to prepare for a second council run. I did not run again in 1997 because I felt it would be more beneficial for the community if SECT continued to push for action rather than allow the entrenched councilman to ignore issues while his housing group pushed rehabilitations and new construction. |
Well, you did run in the end, didn't you. So they weren't that far off.
| quote: | | In 1999, I moved to the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of the city of Cleveland. I decided to withdraw from public life and shift my focus to reading philosophy, economics, sociology, religion, psychology and political theory. I also committed to writing a editorial piece once per month hence the reason for my monthly email and message board postings. I do this out of altruism and receive no compensation what so ever. |
I'm so fascinated by your altruism, but I still can't fathom how you make ends meet considering you do everything for the good of the community without asking for a single dime in return?
| quote: | | My sole objective is to offer suggestions on how we may fine tune America and stear the United States in a positive direction. I know I've been guilty of posting to message boards and not returning to join in the discussion. But I have read most responses. |
Then why didn't you answer to them?
| quote: | | Accordingly, I hereby commit to returning no sooner or later than 24 hours after my post to answer counter arguments. |
Well, there weren't really any counter arguments until now, but you could at least post a single message to prove that you're not a bot.
| quote: | | I'll only respond to intellectual contributions not insults or statements from those who treat message boards like their little fiefdoms. For those of you who would like to contact me, you may reach me at the email address listed below. Thanks and let us continue to "fine tune America". |
Well, you still haven't answered the question most of us fiefdom residents asked you right away. What exactly do you want?
