Violence;

When a society teaches violence on TV, video games, and movies what can it expect of it’s people?

Think about it, the most popular TV programs are violence oriented. The most popular video games are violent. The most popular movies are violent.

Adults we hope can tell the difference between right and wrong. I did say “hope”, we know some fall through the cracks.

Children get this violence taught to them early on so what can we expect as a result?

Check the records you will find people have been violent toward each other much longer than there have been guns. The most dangerous weapon on earth is people.

Let’s all work together and return to good values without violence.

Haines Port Development Council

Our marketing / advertising of Haines Port is bringing people and companies with many different interests. We want to keep an open mind to any proposal that is environmentally safe and does not overly disrupt the community.

We recognize any development will not make everyone happy. Development is bound to disrupt some. We also recognize Haines is big enough to embrace most interests. We are not looking for government funding, taxes or grants. Mostly we look to private enterprise. There may be opportunity for government investment ( AIDEA ).

Our effort is to create a sound economy with good paying lifetime jobs. We look for Haines to be a good, clean, healthy place for people to visit, live, raise families, and retire.
