Author: Ned Depew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:56:03 02/09/06 Thu ...of fellow travelers hope to bamboozle the general public by setting up a simplistic and false "black and white" answer to nearly all problems by imagining an "Us" made up of people who think like you do (the dozen or two of them) and a "Them" - people who disagree with you. Then you write letters to the press and give interviews - or speak through phoney mouthpieces like the HVEEC - to try to indentify the "Us" and "Them" with some position totally unrelated to the issue - mostly the duration of their residence in the County - in a way that makes it appear as if you are speaking for more than yourself and a tiny handful of negative thinkers. But after the SLC debacle and the way you and Tom destroyed your credibility there, you won't get much traction on this one.

Not to mention "dumb clucks" ;-) I'm guessing that chickens will offer at least as high a level of discourse. "Old-timers" and "newcomers" alike in Stuyvesant seem unhappy (and rightly so, IMHO) with the Town Board's action in the "Chicken Matter." This is the kind of silly petty dispute that makes so much fodder for the BritComs about "country life" (e.g. "The Vicar of Dibley" or "Ballykissangel"). Even in real life - athough it has the potential to be somewhat more annoying - it is generally entertaining.
