"They've got this community completely mesmerized, they have made good BUSINESS decisions that were BAD for the community and the community went right along with it."

my response:

Therein lies the problem--self hypnosis. Repeat the mantra after me: "I'm retired. I don't get involved. I'm retired. I don't get involved. I'm retired. I don't get involved. ... " Meanwhile, while most are in a self-inflicted hypnotic trance, Pulte is doing their thing to ALL of us.

In the mid-1770s Thomas Heyward (yes, the one who one lived right up the road, and who one of our major thoroughfares is named after) put it ALL on the line to fight tyranny. He could have said “I’m not going to get involved. I’m just going to continue to live ‘the good life’”. Thank God that he didn’t. I wonder what TH and his cohorts would think of what’s happening today right down the road from where he lived?

Thomas Jefferson said:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

Our rights as Americans include the right of free speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to a jury trial, among others.

How do we honor the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Heyward, and others who made great sacrifices to defend our American freedoms? By EXERCISING them.

Our church is having a concert to honor veterans. They asked parishioners to send in their photographs in uniform. We were babies. So are most of the soldiers at Parris Island and Fort Stewart, and the rest of those defending our freedoms around the world. But, isn’t that the way that it is? Thomas Heyward was only 30 when he put EVERYTHING on the line by signing the Declaration of Independence.

I exercise my right NOT to vote in an election for representatives to a community association that is a sham. I exercise my right to speak out against tyranny. http://peretired.blogspot.com/

PS Doug, I'm not convinced of the "good BUSINESS decisions" part, but I'm not going to argue the point. Like voting in an election in a system where Pulte holds all the cards, I've got better things to DO. Ray
