(Op-ed from Peter J. Children)
It’s no surprise I write on a ongoing basis for NIT; Some of you agree with the content of my thoughts, and some do not. I’m OK with that. That’s the way it works. By expressing difference, or agreement, you are proving a point for me; my intention is to provoke responses from you….good or bad, positive or not. The mere fact that you react means you are out there and paying attention.
I try and take into consideration that some of you are on medication….and others should be. I know one of you traded an automobile for a ring….and the stone that was supposed to be a diamond was fake. However I am certain that whatever paperwork may or may not have been involved was properly punctuated and no words were misspelled, and that fact alone made up for whatever monetary loss may have incurred as a result. Maybe, just maybe, you’re the rain man. Smart, real smart.
Some of you are weak and easily swayed, and for very little money…maybe no more than the price of a glass of beer. People in the know would tell you that stems from a profound lack of self esteem. Suddenly you’ve found yourself in a position you never expected, and you are ill equipped and unprepared….and along comes a pimp and offers you an invitation to have a drink at the country club, but along the the way he turns you into his bitch and puts you out on the street to help satisfy his needs. He knows your depth is shallow and all you require is that glass of beer about twice a month and maybe a pat on the head every now and then. You are listed under low maintenance.
Many of you react when I criticize the local paper; I am fine with that also. It tells me you either work there, or your spouse works there, or you deliver the paper. I am not mad at the paper or any of those employed there. In fact I want it to continue just as it is now, I don’t want them to change one thing. Don’t be so quick to judge. Those working at the paper are no different than those working at other jobs in this city; the difference being the guy running the gas station doesn’t try to influence your vote….other than that there is little difference between them, at least mentally. (My apologies to anyone who might operate a gas station). I want the local paper to remain the same and I want Sara Palin to win the G.O.P. nomination.
I read the blogs left on this site, and I am amazed by some of them. The conclusions I have drawn are: Dysfunctional paranoia, schizophrenia, mental disability, extreme bias ranging all the way from hate to rage.
If truth were to be known I have grown fond of this eclectic group of nay-sayers who much like a piranha, would like to tear my flesh off if you could. None of you have ever hit the ball over the fence and out of the park in your life, and from what I gather, none of you ever will. Now take your time and get in line, take your turn and go for it……..be sure to reach down far enough to bring the bile inside of you all the way out for everyone to see. After you’ve finished, call the rest of the hypocrites and go to the church of your choice and pray.
My best advice to you is not complicated, I try to keep everything at a level that is easy to grasp. We have a mayor who in my opinion is incompetent. It is further my opinion he has some sort of agenda that he concocted in the make-believe world he lives in. He has half the council in some sort of trance from which they will never recover. Solberg, Hickey and Turncoat have consistently voted with the beer drinker without question….don’t you find that troubling, haven’t you asked why, is this why you voted for these people who seem incapable of independent thought?
The only protection this city has had is on the other side of that table. Be very careful come November…… Do not fail to vote.
