Should the "N" word ever be used?

Cleveland's Improv isn't going to censor comics. But, one local group is enacting a boycott against any business or artist that uses the word.

When Michael Richards, who played Kramer on” Seinfeld" hurled racial slurs at hecklers in his audience, he opened up more than a mouthful of bad taste. He opened up a debate.

Now, one Black on Black Crime in Cleveland is taking that debate in a whole new direction--by enacting a boycott.

"These comments, we will not take. We will not address others like that, and we won’t be addressed like that," says Black on Black President Ernest Harris.

In addition to encouraging all Clevelanders not to use the word, his group is boycotting at businesses, artists and organizations that use the word in any way.

What are your thoughts on the boycott?

County considers scrapping $17 million voting machines

Cuyahoga County Commissioners are thinking about scrapping those new expensive touch screen electronic voting machines.

There are still problems with the machines.

And a consultant tells commissioners this system will produce long lines in the 2008 Presidential election.

Commissioners are looking at a cheaper, simpler optical scan system.

They and the Board of Elections are expected to decide what to do by June.

So what's your opinion on having your tax dollars used, for a technology that could soon be scrapped?
