[Vision2020] neo-Confederate resolution

[Saundra Lund]

Hi Bill & Visionaries:

I'm sorry for my delay in responding to this, but in response to Doug
Wilson's monologing, Bill London <london at moscow.com> asked:
"Are you sure this is a big deal?"

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering what the big deal, especially now,
is!  For Pete's sake, this was reported on the front page (above the fold,
no less) of in the Daily News on ***2/4/2004***!

I can't help but wonder why on earth Wilson waited almost ***sixteen
months*** to make an issue out of this if he had concerns?

The most plausible explanation I can think of is that it's an attempt to
deflect attention away from the current, significant, and substantive issues
that are coming to light.

BTW, I also misunderstood the suggested frequency of posting guidelines:  I
thought it was one posting per topic per day.  Yikes!  I'll try to do better
. . . and I was relieved to see that even with my misunderstanding, my
monthly average is still significantly below one post per day.


JMHO,

A response to Doug Wilson:
As noted on V2020, you wrote on your website: This morning I filed a public
records request with the City of Moscow. In that request I asked for "all
notes or records of communication between city council members and any other
person, regarding a 'neo-confederate' resolution and Black History Month
proclamation entered at the Moscow City Council meeting of February 3,
2004."
 
Doug-    
Just to save you the trouble, I confess. I suggested in an email to some
Moscow City Council members that the council should pass a Black History
Month or resolution that Neo-Confederates were not welcome in Moscow.  I did
this on my own, and if there was a conspiracy, I do not know my fellow
conspirators.
    I thought that Neo-Confederates, as members of organizations identified
as racist hate groups, should not be in Moscow (even though you invited them
to your conference).
    I did get at least one response from council members (saying no).  None
of the council members agreed with me.  The resolution I suggested was never
offered to the council.
    Are you sure this is a big deal?
