I went from being a sociology major 2 being a philosophy major 2 being an economics major

 

Just hate 2 c good people sniping at other good people over something like this, however it reely ain't my bizness.

 

Times are difficult and there aren't many answers that are going to please anyone.

Just being somewhat reflective on the season and the challenges this annual version will bring.

I always revert to music and the timeless messages within--just my thing

 

As the Yaga man sez:

Stop da fussin and da fightin

Increase da Peace!

 

 

VET--I knew that I could count on you to keep it constructive for one f'n day--or maybe 1/2 a f'n day.

 

We are all proud and thankful for everyone's military service no matter in what area and to what degree.

Still--we are back in local society now dealing with challenges of a different type.

There really is no enemy or "other side"

This was evidenced by the budget struggle within Council last night.

 

Credit to ALL Councilmembers for doing the work and attempting to put a round peg into a square hole(a SMALL square hole).

 

I see no issue leaving the key issues to our new Council.

We voted for three new members, and anticipate fresh thinking to take us in a new direction.

Obviously these men knew what was forthcoming if chosen.

I have confidence in their thinking and conciliatory approach.

I expect them to be much more open to the public and anticipate the next Council to be "set up to answer citizens' ?s".

 

Thanks Nelson for posting such important information

Thanks Vivian for your cemetary efforts and follow thru

Thanks Mike and pacman for good concepts and data

Thanks to MUSA for providing this wonderful forum

Thanks to the local business owners for working so hard and remaining positive towards our future

Thanks to past and present Councilmembers for the personal sacrifice and efforts

Thanks to everyone not mentioned for the valuable contributions online and in the field

Thanks to everyone who has supported me in every facet of my life and time here in Middietown

 

So get out of the new world

If you can't lend a hand

Cause the times

They are a changin'

B-3-1 ARMY STRONG!!!!!!!

 

This is all fine and good but just how honest do you think it will be.................................

that will be one heck of a bounce out west if/when that occurs.

Like Middietown, all I hear at this time is a loud thud

 

Actually there probably won't be much bounce, instead a reach for a helping hand

 

It's simply a message board to exchange concepts,thoughts and information

everyone has to be so tough

 

how about tomorrow everyone only says good honest positive constructive praising comments towards everything/everyone? just 4 1 f'n day

 

R U going away

with no words of fare well

will u leave all that  we've had behind?

 

I didn't want to hurt you

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know

That was the last thing on my mind

 

beautiful lyrics by Lightfoot I believe

anyone familiar with the Yaga philosphy?

Mike-  Quit thinking about the short term.   California will turn the tide long before a city such as Middletown.   California has invested billions into their infrastructure and development and they will be reaping the reward by next year.  As we all know, Middletown's economy will turn around much slower.   California can go into debt- the state has an economy bigger than most nations.    Imbecile or not, Cali will bounce back quicker than Middletown.

An "assumption"???  Hardly!!  I was simply seeking CLARIFICATION!!!  I found it mind-boggling that anyone would choose California to hold up as an example. 

 

You might be unaware of the host of serious PROBLEMS that have resulted from California's "PROGRESSIVE" agenda.  You might have problems with reading comprehension. Or, you might be an imbecile.

 

I vote for IMBECILE, but that is simply a clinical-type observation and not meant to be offensive.  Please do NOT consider it a personal attack!!
