gun running charge? Poverty is ni excuse for a crime to be comitted.

I agree with you 100%.

My point was in regards to the comment of Acadian providing better

care toward the public. Now, admittedly, I suppose the comments could

be taken to be in regards to Acadian taking over from AMR, however, I

felt as though there was an implication of Acadian taking over the

public-sector EMS terf. I was merely attempting to move toward

moderation and/or caution, specifically with regards to the Acadian vs

San Fire Department issue, because as far as I'm aware, there

is currently no vying for the city's EMS on the part of Acadian. And,

as I've said, people tend to have very strong opinions in this matter,

and I see more and more tension on a county level as a result of it. I

worry that implications of Acadian " taking over " SAFD's current EMS

district are why I have seen a tinge of hostility from San

Fire Department paramedics.
