In reply to: Sandy 's message, "polarization entrepreneurs?" on 07/ 1/06 12:40am

for the area unless there is blatant proof that they're not. in my opinion thats where people go wrong when they run against someone who has held a position for a long time here. when the new person slams the encumbent the people who have voted for that encumbent over the years get offended. when someone from out of town comes here and tells local people that their government is screwing them it makes them angry. because basically they are saying that they are idiots who got the wool pulled over their eyes and no one wants to know that. if you want something from someone you have to make them see what smart a person they are to see something in a new way.

i think that polarization is going on with lng. the way people are made to think drastically on one side or another and that there's nothing in between. your either a crook (carpetbagger) or an idiot on one side, and a screaming liberal fearmonger who doesn't want growth on the other. your not even allowed to be someone who just wants more information. you should of been reading about it all along, blah blah blah. sometimes i wonder what good having a government is? your not even allowed to vote for the best person for the job, just the people that got the most votes in the primaries and were allowed to run in the general. ack! now i feel like maybe everything i think has been manipulation.
