Foley & Allen Urban Horrors

Monsters
I’m asked quite often why did I title my blog Urban Horrors?
My reply is usually because I’m trying to sell my self published book and because in the novel there are monsters of both myth and reality.

The following is not about parties but irresponsible leadership.
Vampires

Fiction: A mythical human that sustains itself by draining the life force from another

Reality: Congressman Mark Foley of Florida. Foley quit his job on Friday after word of sexually suggestive e-mails he sent to teenage boys working on Capitol Hill.
The scandal swirling around the former Florida Congressman continues to widen. The FBI has opened an investigation into whether Foley violated federal law by sending sexually explicit e-mails to male congressional pages under 18.
ABC News obtained Internet messages sent by Foley to three different pages since that warning was issued. Messages sent to two pages contained sexually explicit messages, most too graphic to be broadcast. Below is a copy of the then 17 year old pages email response to Foley’s emails






























Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Fiction: A noble man that becomes a monster of unbelievable evil

Myth: a man made monster that once is given life destroys

Reality: Our educational system as depicted on The Wire
America’s schools are in crisis producing too many minds not prepared to take this nation into the future. Leaders like Foley and Allen only make matters worse
