Cleveland rocks. Richmond sucks.

Style Weekly: "the politics of fear and a growing racial divide still cripple Richmond [Virginia]." Mayor Douglas Wilder: "a cesspool of corruption and inefficiency." Ninth most dangerous city in the US. The state claims that "Virginia is for lovers" but the General Assembly passed a law "which some contend is the most anti-gay legislation in the country." (Style Weekly) And don't get me started on Henhicko County, Native American for "land of the hicks." Now at www.richmondsucks.com.

Violent crimes have increased statewide, while property crimes are on the decline.

The Virginia State Police released a new report Friday that shows crime rates for each county in the state for 2006. The report looks at several categories of crimes by arrest data, offenses and jurisdictions.

Statewide, the numbers show a 3 percent increase in robberies and a 4 percent decrease in property crime. However, violent crimes are up 1 percent.

"...the quintessential everyman, he's a little bit of everything that we're all striving for... mostly the search for the truth in our lives. From poignant notions of love to our own inescapable lascivious tendencies, from mundane to the outlandish, on that journey we face tough questions, but even tougher decisions. He'll take you on his journey and back, he won't promise you enlightenment (who can?), but you can at least be assured of a good time. Thanks..." - boyzco
