Let tell you a story. It used to be if you could get 20 people to show up at a public meeting to protest a decision from a previous meeting the decision would be reversed. I know of one case where that exact thing happened.
My home town city council decided that along with an old building demolished to build a new city hall, decided to demolish a building adjacent that housed the town Senior center. It was an old building but was in good shape. The Seniors loved it and it was well used by them. It even had a big dance floor where dances were held every Saturday night.
Anyway the week after the the decision to tear it down about 20 seniors showed up at the City Council meeting And the Council reversed their decision. VICTORY !!
Well not so fast... the next week the city council announced that a bulldozer demolishing the other building accidentally hit the senior center building a broke its foundation.
I happened to be at that meeting. Don't know why but I have always very good at telling when someone is speaking a lie. So later that night curiosity got the better of me and I went to take a look at the building a couple of days later. There was no damage to it. I guess I was about 19 at the time.
I mentioned that to a local prominent person in the city that took an interest in the town's politics.He told me that as there was a six foot fence involved to get to the building it was better I say nothing about it. That he would take care of it.
Being young I let it go at that. The day after that the building was raised.
I don't know who the guy talked to but at the time I did not understand how things like this worked. In hind sight I can say that the building that was used to replace the senior center was purchased as more or less part of the same deal as the demolition. Which was formerly owned by another prominent person in the city. It had been vacant for years....
Call that a life lesson into politics and corruption.
Excellent presentation in the first video on the nature of government and free speech. Thanks for posting it.
I think I agree with Weinestein's statements on McAfee on government..
People that think there is nothing extremely wrong about with government at this point, are blind, deaf, and are in a coma.
