No Thirsty Horses

Well thanks for the reminder AGAIN about the Merriwether Halloween Spooktacular, talk about beating a dead drum. Again we have to mention the zoning conspiracy that is cooked up by the westside wonders. The actual reason anyone is ever elected is that those that elect them believe that they will serve in their best interests not based on their personal agendas. Zoning as has been explained previously has steps in the process, and all of the steps have been followed all the way to the upcoming banging of the gavel. Notices have been printed in "approved media", signs posted, hearings held, but sorry to disappoint, no one cares. You cannot overcome apathy, you cannot force your beliefs on people that really don't care, so why keep pounding issues in the faces of the deaf.

The issue is personal nothing more. Unless citizens show up to question the ethics of their representatives, and that would be worth seeing. One thing not listed in the article in the edgefield mudslinger, who will be carrying the collective brain that night?

If the westside wonders actually wanted to do something helpful, why not address the high crime rate in their area in relationship to the rest of the county. Seems as though being original is not in their DNA. It appears the crime rate for break-ins and domestic problems are at least 50% higher in comparison to the entire rest of the county, so why aren't they addressing this problem rather than stirring up trouble? UNLESS, they don't know how to do anything else but to make trouble and criticize others. Perhaps they should clean up their own backyards before pointing fingers, but that would actually cause them to be proactive rather than critical, again, not in their collective DNA. Do the citizens in Mount Vintage really feel safe, or would they be safer on the north or east side of the county, where there are no issues. Who is paying overtime to the poor zoning guy that is being dragged from his home to be involved in this personal problem, surely not the terrible two, yes the taxpayer. More fiscal responsibility. I am certain the sheriff would be thankful to have the crime rate drop, so he can have more time to investigate all of the conspiracy theories, OR if he wasn't busy investigating all the conspiracy theories perhaps he would have more time to catch the bad guys. There is some concession food for thought.

On a positive note, I did hear today is that this has been great for the local economy as tape recorders have been sold out in most of the local radioshacks.

Seems no one wants to be subjected to stupidity but wants to have it on tape.

The old saying you can lead a horse to water, etc. Apparently there are no thirsty horses in Merriwether.
