If someone is going to represent me, I want an opportunity to vote for that person. I didn’t vote for the Duvalls to represent me.<\/p>\n
And when they use phrases like “our way of life” and “our collective health,” AS IF everyone agrees with them about what these expressions mean, that’s presumptuous of them.<\/p>\n
I can guess what these expressions might mean to the Duvalls, but that would be pure conjecture on my part.\u00a0 I don’t have to guess what they mean to me, but the Duvalls never asked me about my definitions for these phrases.<\/p>\n
We just had an election too!\u00a0 That would have been a great time to take a vote on some language to define “our way of life” and “our collective health.”\u00a0 If a majority of Elbert County citizens were to agree on such definitions, there might be a foundation for Elbert County government to promote those defined outcomes.<\/p>\n
I doubt the Duvalls are really interested in a consensus definition, however, because then they might lose some flexibility in plugging these expressions into their political actions to fabricate justifications for their partisan agenda.<\/p>\n
Let’s be clear.\u00a0 The Duvalls aren’t interested in your<\/em> voice at these public meetings if you<\/em> don’t happen to agree with their politics.\u00a0 And neither are the folks at New-Plains and the Prairie Times.<\/p>\n B_Imperial<\/p>\n
