HI.. WHAT AN INTERESTING THREAD! THANKS RORY FOR THE JOURNAL-STYLE CONVEYANCE OF THE ONGOING STORY.


AS I READ THROUGH THE FIRST 4 PAGES LAST NIGHT AND THE LAST ONE THIS MORNING, I FOUND IT PRETTY INTERESTING FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT I WAS WITNESSING FREEDOM IN ACTION. (AND ACTUALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF INFLAMED, WORTHLESS, EMOTIONAL RHETORIC. THAT IS REFRESHING FROM OTHER THINGS I READ IN OTHER PLACES. ) I THINK THIS IS WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS HAD IN MIND FOR HOW WE GOVERN OURSELVES AT THE GRASS ROOTS LEVEL.


IF WE ACT AS PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN OUR PRECIOUS LIVES, WE WILL COMMUNICATE OUR DESIRES INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, AND THEN TAKE ACTION. THIS THREAD SHOWS EVERYONE THAT READS IT HOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE OVER ANY AND ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES, OR NOT IF WE STAY IN TOUCH.


IN THIS THREAD THERE HAS BEEN THE SUGGESTION TO ORGANIZE THE CONTRACTORS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE. AND THERE HAS BEEN THE CONTRA-SUGGESTION THAT IT IS NOT NEEDED. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THIS TOWN IS CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING THE LATTER, USING THEIR COUNCIL, THEIR OWN INITIATIVE, AND THEIR COURTS TO HANDLE THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE MATTER OF CONTRACTORS, INSURANCES AND CRAFTMANSHIP/WORKMANSHIP. IT&SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT CAN GUIDE THE OTHERS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO GET INVOLVED, WITH RORY BEING ONE OF THEM.


I, FOR ONE, AM NOT FOR DEVELOPING AN ORGANIZATION TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS. IT IS TOO EASY TO LET THEM TAKE OVER AND HANDLE THE SITUATION FOR THE SHEEPLE. THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OR ORGANIZATION WILL BE HUMANS. AND AS A GROUP, HUMANS WILL BECOME CONTINUALLY MORE CONTROLLING (IT'S THE POWER THING) AND EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DICTATORIAL GROUP SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT COUNCIL. THIS IS JUST HUMAN NATURE FOLKS. I'VE BEEN ON COMMITTEES AND BOARDS AND IN ORGANIZATIONS. THINGS JUST GO THAT WAY. ( ANIMAL FARM? )


SO WHEREEVER THIS LITTLE TOWN OF 7000 IS, WITH PEOPLE LIKE RORY, ( WHO IS WORKING, RAISING 4 KIDS, AND STILL BEING INVOLVED IS HIS OWN GOVERNING AS ACCORDED TO EACH OF US THROUGH OUR CONSTITUTION ), I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THEM A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR BEING "OF AND BY THE PEOPLE".


STUDENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNMENT CLASSES SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO READ THIS THREAD.


THANKS TO RORY, JERSEEE, ICE, JON, SUI JURIS AND OTHERS THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED HERE FOR THIS GREAT THREAD. RICKY
