[Vision2020] Moscow's fortune cookie crumbles?

[Phil Nisbet]

Melynda

"And how exactly do we get
from historical novel to "frozen in time"?

As in locked into the 17th century.  Blackmore wrote the work 2 centuries 
after the fact as if it was a piece from an earlier age in 17th century 
venacular.

But all of this is a difference in style of how we view this community.  
Rather than looking for minutia to attempt to do battle on, why not deal 
with the substance of the issues involved?

How would you, Melynda, want to see growth and what types of industries are 
good ones for this community to bring in?  Not what are you against, but 
what are you FOR?
