Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

All right Mayor Ford!  The 6 million dollar lawsuit launched by George Foulidis has been dismissed. I am not a politician so I can freely say that the Boardwalk deal stinks to high Heavens. Odd how when we finally get a working mans mayor the rich fatcats are constantly looking to oust him. I am a Chevy man, but I will always vote FORD!!!! http://www.cp24.com/defamation-lawsuit-against-rob-ford-dismissed-1.1093383

Right on Morgan and Jamie!!!! Maybe if more entertainers spoke words such as this then the media would change how it glorifies the wrong aspects of these tragedies. As for the culprit may have had mental issues – well, he was sane enough to PLAN and implement the act – so I see no reason to use any mental issue to even attempt to JUSTIFY what he did. Here is Morgan’s statement: Morgan Freeman’s statement about these random shootings…. “You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why. It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Becau...

Humans are violent by genetics - left overs from the hunting & gathering era's. Unfortunately our world and technology has evolved beyond the human minds capability to really understand what we have created and what we have become. We are still but infants in the universes. Although we have the intelligence to create all this technology and cities, etc. we have not evolved far enough as a species to control human behaviorism and honestly comprehend what technology is doing to our society, We need to backtrack a bit and bring back some of the old 'proven' ways of society. Discipline and respect are being lost in the hustle and bustle of just attempting to live in this fast paced society. Our youth need the guidance of "The Elders" and the wisdom that follows it. Severe crimes need very severe sentencing. Many will disagree with this point, but having lived on the streets since the age of twelve (43 years ago) I can honestly say that many o...

Sad state of affairs for society when you have a man in China stabbing twenty plus children and an idiot in the U.S. shooting kids. THERE IS NO REASON IN OUR MODERN SOCIETY FOR ANYONE TO OWN A GUN!!! (with the exception of very remote areas where hunting is necessary to survive) There should be a mandatory life sentence just for carrying one. Now, everyone can get mad at me all they want, but I speak from past mistakes. Thirty years ago I carried and used one and I did my time, but in all reality I should have done a lot more time then what I was given. If you carry one eventually you will use it and it is always an innocent person who gets hurt. It is amazing how the killers family always say, "He was such a loving family guy." Sure, towards his own family, but not an ounce of passion for the victims of his actions. It is time we brought faith back into the schools and educate our youth on compassion for fellow man, consequences for their actions and most of all R...

What's on my MIND???? Here, I will say it. First off, God Bless the family of the now deceased nurse in Britain. I find it very disturbing that for the sake of a few idiots getting a chuckle this poor woman's life has ended. It is high time that media, paparazzi and such stop harassing, over analyzing and tormenting people just to get their ratings up or to make a few dollars. Maybe if they would put their effort into more newsworthy circumstances tragedy's such as this would not happen. There are far more things happening around the world that the media should be camping out and reporting then the effort put into the Duchess having pregnancy difficulties or Justin Bieber not getting a Grammy. We are all paying too much attention to the wrong things in the world. While the media is chasing the Royal's or some teenage "so-called" star - they are not reporting the true tragedies happening. What about the hungry homeless and even the hungry with a home...

OK Kiddies, I am about to either peeve off a lot of people or have them agree with me on this matter. Let’s begin with Mayor Ford…….. does anyone else besides me find it odd that he is being attacked by the so-called “rich”.  He has been constantly scrutinized and picked apart by every opponent he faced in the election – may I add, the election that, we, the people of this great city, voted him Mayor of? How many thousands of dollars were spent on this bull fodder? Money that I can assure you Mayor Ford would gladly have allocated for much better things, such as feeding the hungry, dealing with the gang violence or investigating how ONE restaurant can get such a long lease of public property to build a restaurant that is not “beach friendly”. Second point ……. How many thousands of dollars will now be spent obtaining a new mayor? I wouldn’t be surprised if you see Mr. Madger or one of his associates run in the next election. Long before Mayor Ford was electe...

As my followers know I was quite taken aback by the Amanda Todd suicide. This evening on CFTO News I saw this and once again was brought to tears.  Blessings to her father – such a memorial to her life by adding some of her ashes to the ink used in his tattoo – forever a part of him. It was not only her suicide, but also that of the many other youth that gave me that final nudge to stop procrastinating and get The LightHouse up and going. I hope to be fully operational by February 2013 at the latest. If The Creators be willing – much sooner. Father of bullying victim Amanda Todd gets tattoo to commemorate daughter | CTV News . I would so greatly appreciate your support in the Aviva Community Fund Competition to hopefully obtain funding towards launching The LightHouse. You can vote direct at the Aviva site http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf16202 or through my Facebook group at www.facebook.com/walkingtolighthouse Thank you for your supp...

“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.” Five out of the seven times I have been legally dead I encountered my mother, Mary. What is so coincidentally strange about this is that all my life – since the very first time I heard Let It Be, I always shed a tear as soon as the first chord was played. I was twelve when I first met my mother. Then ten years later I met her for the second time, only to lose her the next year via murder at the hands of her alcoholic knife wielding boyfriend. As devastating as this was, my life was changed that day ……. the horrific reality of watching Mom lay in intensive care carved up like a suckling pig drove all the violence from my soul.  The Creators work in mysterious ways.  It was then that I decided to change my lifestyle. A laying down of arms, so-to-speak. Looking back I now know that this was the birth of The LightHouse – Walking With Dann. Although, I was ...
