Public Thoughts

The keys to winning the March elections here in Century Village is to get the Delegates out to Vote and then Vote for you.

The problem is 2 fold. First we have to get the delegate to come out and vote, not an easy task. Israel's approach is to Email them using the Public Village list, which he considers his Private list. Nobody else gets to see it or use it. He claims it is his Private list. The second way, so I am told, is to offer to run a taxi service to the Election Booth, both ways.

That is not right. That is part of what is seriously wrong in the way we operate in this Village. This is the way the Election field is NOT level. This should and must be changed. The List is Public, not Private. The taxi service should not be paid for by the UCO Treasury, public funds.

Joyce Reiss's questions at the Candidates Forum was addressed to the wrong people. First off anybody can, has, the right to comment on how they feel about a candidate.

Asking questions or making comments is a Constitution-given right to all citizen of the USA, including Residents of CV. Why should they be blocked if we don't agree with the sentiment? That is un-American and should not be allowed. You don't like what was said, too bad. Fee speech you know. Use the blog comment stream and say so.

I find a lot of things that are said on the Very Private blog that is distasteful. My objections are usually commented on 'My Village Blogger' since I was blocked from the use of the VPB until recently when it was opened to me. I guess since I am so loud about the lack of access, or its election season and we want your votes and DI wants to seem benign.

So the questions I have for the secretive, surreptitious and sneaky UCO President is who is paying for this? Where did the money come from to build this Private Email list? Did UCO pay for it and then hand it over to Israel as his Private List?

Who pays for the so-called Private matters that are placed in the Cloud? The UCO Email list, the Private taxi services? The Video taping of all the Assemblies and Committee meeting and then put up on the VPB* exclusively. And who owns the Cloud storage? UCO, CV or David Israel? It seems to me there is something very wrong here.  Very wrong.

And lastly, about Comcast and Wi-Fi. Why is it not considered to make CV a Wi-Fi hot spot? A for free Wi-Fi Hotspot. This would be in line with and heading this Village in the direction that NYC is heading with Community Hot Spots. With Googles Community Hot-Spot, free.

Other Communities have done this, why not us?  In the direction that Comcast itself is and has been headed for a while now. Establishing Hotspots, free Hotspots, all over the city.

Community Hot-Spots are the future and why not start here. This is one of the reasons that UCO was started. To try and get our Vendors to do something good and free for their customers.

I also note that at a Welcome Committee meeting, where Herr David Israel seemed to be in charge instead of the duly appointed Chairman. He commented, to the New People, that we had in this village Nasty People with their Nasty Blogs. These people are  to be avoided. Can you believe this? The gall?
