Personally, I really believe that it is time to unseat and re-align the BoS and county administration to better balance and serve the people on a more equitable scale. It would seem the time is right to initiate such a campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, well. That sounds eerily similar to the Shireen Parsons’ idea of “let’s overthrow the county government”. Parsons was the “community activist” that the SCC was briefly aligned with before she came up with that idea. The SCC quickly dropped their support of Parsons and “The Alliance” after that concept was presented.<\/p>\n
ADDITION: Whoa! It’s getting fun over at this article’s comments section. I’m sure this one is going to be deleted quickly so I’ll save it here for posterity. Here’s “porkchop62″‘s meltdown…<\/p>\n
Well touche’ rockit, except for one thing, it’s Mr. not Ms., so kiss my ASSertion that you possess any integrity AT ALL. I don’t have any problem with anonimity, it’s cowardice I dispise, and I back up what stand I take, but you know what they say about opinions and @&&holes;. Plenty of folks around here know exactly who I am, by moniker and nickname and character. You however, not so many. I sense a tilting of balance with you, one that favors, by monetary gain if nothing more, not just the mining of uranium but the continued wholesale r@pe of our lands and resources for the financial gains of a select few at the egregious detriment of many. AND, sir, since I am directly decended from Cherokee, Choctaw, and Poquoson Native Americans, GET THE H&\/\/ OFF OUR LANDS AND RETURN UNTO OUR PEOPLES
\nWHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS ALONE. What was stolen from us as our forebearers were murdered, diseased intentionally, starved, enslaved, r@ped, beaten, herded like cattle, wronged as no other peoples upon this earth, save for the Jewish race, have ever been treated. That is a fire within that will never be settled! Now GO SCREW Yourself!@ <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
