A DEPRESSING MORNING NEWSPAPER

There was not a vote in favor of Wi-Fi except for Dave.

 Just finished reading the NY Times and am seriously depressed. What a situation the world is in and in particular, the USA is in a true quagmire. We have the inmates running the asylum and they are playing that stupid game of chicken that dumb teenage boys play without thought as to what might happen, even the unthinkable. And now here we are at the point of the unthinkable and an idiot yells out, "Let's roll!"

Does he dare to equate this moronic turn of events to the heroic actions of passengers on a plane on 9/11 who sacrificed their lives so that others may live? Is he serious? And the fact that no one, NO ONE called him on it is even sadder.

So what does this have to do with what I usually blog about, about the Village? Well, first, I just had to vent a little. Everyone is entitled to that. And I wonder, is anyone out there thinking at all? And here we have our connection. Is anyone in our Village really thinking at all? Our "leaders" tend to be full of hot air, malice and faulty thinking. They too run off at the mouth like Cruz and Shakespeare's line of "full of sound and fury signifying nothing" is appropriate for them. They scream and shout. Dave puts up a big posting on his two blogs how Phyllis Richland has single handedly killed the wifi for the Village. Well, Phyllis, look how mighty you are. It is good to be a strong and influential woman. I congratulate you. However, what is overlooked, or might I say, purposely left out is that in that meeting there was not a vote in favor except for Dave. Now isn't that a telling event?

       Just as the citizens of America must speak up and let their representatives know that we are not looking for a world wide catastrophe, we, the citizens of Century Village West Palm Beach must also speak up. Volunteer for a better Village, for a better administration. Vote for a president who will not work this way through lies, evasions and what not. Vote for an administration that will let you, the residents, know exactly what the story is, especially on the issues that are controversial or expensive or worrying or complicated and the list can go on and on. Tell your delegate to vote for Esther.

Vote for a government of the Village that does not work on fear, threats, and intimidation. Vote for honesty, transparency and hope for a better Village and for an administration that will work for the benefit of its residents, insure that WPRF does that too. No more pet projects of administrations. No more muzzling of free speech. Vote Esther. Tell your delegates of your wishes. Be part of making this place and this world a better place.
