Subject: Nice try, Tom Author: Ned Depew [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:09:44 08/27/05 Sat In reply to: Tom Koulos 's message, "Earth Foods like the Enviroment are in constant metamorphosis:):)" on 15:04:40 08/27/05 Sat Tom - This may be your dream, but the truth is what I've written. I've talked to Sal, and I know that the tax situation was crucial in his decision to abandon his sucessful and very much appreciated business. He was forced out by the Scaleranetti Administration's regressive, anti-small-business tax policies. You may not want to know that. You may want to invent your own explanation. You may want to live in a fantasy world. But those are the facts, and you can go visit Sal and ask him yourself. But of course, facts have never interested you very much, have they?

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Nice try, Tom Author: Thomas Koulos [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:51:36 08/28/05 Sun Facts..I believe I have posted that those who aspire to lead do so by setting the example like taking a cut in pay instead of using Tax Payers Money to tell us of the events made possible with other peoples money. Perhaps you have forgoten that inflation,etc.has caught up up with the spreading Buracracies whose dependance on Government hand outs by way of grants for every conceivable list of advocates seeking to get their share by influencing POLITICIANS to get their votes with their self interests with red ink budgets and limited funds for basic problem solving solutions for waste disposal,water development projects,etc.with blame game devisive tactic and law suits to delay alternative basic comprehensive prioritized needs for all those who depend on comprehensive planning to meet present and future needs,instead of wasting our time with what color our neighbors house should b or the height of our fences to hyde our neighbors from our sight,etc. These same neighbors who serve our communities as law enforcement Public servants,Volunteer Fire and Ambulace Squads that tax payers money is used to provide them with diversified structures to meet their needs but may present a visual impact on their right to have no obstruction to their visual panoramic view of the Hudson Valley in its Natural Setting to please the Olana Government subsidy FRIENDS who feel negatively affected by the creation of Industries that seek to meet the needs of the building trades etc.with their devisive rhetoric. As a supporter of the FoH Nimby advocasy those Fifty HITS on your Board to get a chucle our of your Intelectual progressive view points find it expedient not to engage in your ritualistic propoganda with no substantive alternatives to pay for all those wishful handouts that Sal will find our applicable in Austerlitz and Hudson. Have a good time disecting or deleting mo post that will also be forwarded to others:):) Tom Koulos

[> [> [> [> Subject: Some truth to that... Author: Ned Depew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:07:27 08/28/05 Sun Tom - You are right, we have discussed cutting the bloated salaries at Taxpayer expense awarded to the Scaleranetti Cronies by this administration. We agree about that, and I never deleted any of the posts made about it. So why are you bringing it up in this context? While we also agree that government spending is out of control - I actually indentify specific areas where I see problems, and try to propose ideas for rectifying them - while you spout off about "spreading bureaucracies," "advocates" and "self-interests" in a generalized way that makes it imposible for anyone to understand what you are actually talking about, other than the simple statement that there is too much government spending and waste - which you could say in 9 clear words. The rest of your post is also full of incomprehensible bombast that offers no clear analysis of what you see as the problem, nor how to fix it. It's exactly the kind of incoherent ranting that has caused other venues to disregard your communications. I'm leaving it here beacuse at least it's not directly insulting and it will show people what kind of "thought process" you present. But as far as the content is concerned, its the same-old same-old - lots of ranting against the "Olana Government subsidy FRIENDS" and other imaginary villains, and no constructive commentary or proposals. That kind of endless, pointless, generalized negativity gets neither you nor anyone else anywhere, Tom, other than deeper in that rut you are carving as you go round and round and round...
