[Vision2020] Hawkins protest

[mark seman]

I fear the resultants are not only from those that you loathe, but also of
the loathed of those that you loathe.  There will need to be greater mutual
respect among the leaders, growers (developers & gardeners), and citizens
for your loathing to subside.  One reacts against the other, rather than one
reacts with the other.  Simple in words, difficult in deed.  The time may
arrive, while you remain (in Moscow), but local influences are too
short-sighted or busy bickering to find resolution if you want it soon.   I
would hope for two years, desire less, but may take more.  One vision is
there, and of course it will take more, but just one might be enough to
change momentum (stagnation), if it has enough community-muster.

A project as close to the "Ideal" of water-neutral, energy-developing,
environmentally-safe, people-friendly, community-generating,
local-economy-improving, job-producing, disabled-employing,
vegetable-producing, carbon-neutral, air-cleaning, that has never been seen
on the Palouse (and beyond) before may be coming.  If this were to begin
happening, who else would be "on-board" with it?  Who out there would be
willing to be a community-partner in such a profoundly positive thing?
Consider what role you would want to take in such a collaboration with other
community team-members?  What abilities would you bring, to help others'
disabilities?

Maybe we can talk about this a little more...after we all read or re-read

Thanks for the rant,
Mark

  A few questions for Moscow Residents:

  Why is it that Moscow pursues policies even when they CLEARLY are
destructive to the community? Such as not letting any business touch our
horrible icky water?

  Why is it that Moscow is anti-business?

  Why does Moscow lynch mob any citizen that disagrees with the majority?

  Why does Moscow say it is liberal, yet all city policies discriminate
against Gays and Lesbians?

  Why does Moscow say it is liberal, yet it doesn't even have adequate
services, sidewalks, and programs for the disabled?

  Why does Moscow say it is tolerant yet hates others in the community for
their religion?

  Why does Moscow want to reduce its population? Why does it want to not
have jobs?

  How long can Moscow survive with negative job growth and population
growth, and continue to have revenues when its largest tax base is
government workers who are paid only through the collection of taxes? Who
are the producers in Moscow? They all seem to be leaches.

  Just stuff to ponder as the University, Moscow, and Latah go to hell as
our local Liberal Yahoos Leaches destroy the community by protesting
everything that might put food on somebody's table and makes Moscow a
community worth living in.

  Best,

  Donovan
