Reading over the predictable clusters of trognonymous commentary at VOP from masked people who never bother attending things like neighborhood forums, it occurred to me that one of the ways we’ll be able to discern progress is when (and if) known entities converse, with one side refraining from attacking the mayor, and the other agreeing not to expose laggard council persons like Jethro & the Copperhead (sounds like a Dylan song, doesn’t it?)
Instead, all the glib “we the people” rhetoric actually would be taken seriously, some semblance of unity would be displayed, and the conversation would be about what real people actualy intend to do on a grassroots level to build a better community apart from hurling brickbats.
Yeah, I know. Unrealistic, but a boy can dream. I’d write more if there wasn’t so much to do, and so little time to do it.
