Damn it, could we please stop with the personal attack stuff--on all
sides. Like a bunch of schoolyard kids we come up spitting and
snarling "s/he started it when s/he called me a ..." I thought you
were one of those who publicly condemned the "combover" reference--as
did I privately. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure you
also made comment about weight and other physical characteristics
being a little out of bounds.
While I am responding to Donovan's most recent post, it is a
cumulative reaction to all the ugly personal references that have
been made on the list recently. Please, let's attack issues, maybe
even each other's motivations if you think that's relevant to a
discussion, but surely the color, lack, or style of one's hair,
weight, height, relative beauty, warts, etc. can be out of bounds
even in the most passionate discussion.
Thank you for your consideration.

Rose Huskey is not the ugly witch you portray her to be. She is an
activist with strong convictions, something this community can use
more of.
Rose is criticized for her aggressive nature. We should be thankful
for it. The community of Moscow is far too populated with people too
willing to wait for the fire before calling the fire department as
they struggle through the smoke.
Thank you, Rose.

Rose,
Maybe you can contact the Bush administration. They are well
practiced in being able to trace emails, taping phone calls, and
bugging of private US citizens that disagree with them. As Bush says
"There are lurkers out there".

Visionaries:
Perhaps one of our legal minds can answer this question. Are emails
to city officials part of the public record? If so, and if any one
gives a hoot, they could make a public records request to any of the
city council members for copies of the emails they received today and
learn t! he identi! ty of our shy correspondent. However, for most
of us, particularly those of us who recognize phrases and writing
style, it's alreadyapparent. And, of course it points out a major
difference between Councilmen Ament, Dickison, and Stout and our
shirkinglurking Visionary. Those public servantsattach theirname
to what they think and say and do; they are responsive to their
electorate; and above all else - theytreat seriouslythe oath
theygave last night to uphold the laws of the state and city
statutes.
There can not be, in my mind, any compromis! e that chips away at the
Comprehensive Plan for the city. The trap which was so easily sprung
on our former city counciland a holdovermember of the current
council (not that they weren't mostly willing, indeed eager victims)
was that somehow not allowing educational institutions downtown
wasdarned rude.Wrongo - Bongo! Eroding the integrity of the
comprehensive plan wassimple-minded,transparent, and
rude;pandering to arrogant law-breakers, falling for the easy
flattery of silver-tongued devils, cozying up tothe dog-collar
dragoons, waseven ruder; selling out down-town retail to a non tax
paying bible college - that was the rudest cut of all.
Unbossed, unbought, uncompromised, and smarter than whips,
Councilmen Ament, Dickison, and Stout signal a new day in city
government. Thank God. And, quite aside from that piece of gigantic
good news, at long last weare spared the sight of kittenish
simpering, coy eyelash batting,andthe junior high gum-
poppingroutine which has marked the past several years ofcouncil
meetings.
