Albany (state government) is a compelte joke; the only reason it's in the news every week is that some new legislator is being investigated or going to jail. The New York City Council has had its corruption, too. The mayor is Michael Bloomberg, so I'll say no more. People on the community boards are not paid and can be the best democracy in New York, but the boards essentially have no power.<br /> <br />If you want to become jaded again, Dr. P., just look into New York government for any length of time.Barry Popikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203198416824735505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480959310171271494.post-66507971910501606922013-06-14T22:13:47.274-07:002013-06-14T22:13:47.274-07:00Dr.P I've gotta object to your quotations of C...Dr.P I've gotta object to your quotations of Churchill.<br /><br />It's in fact absolutely necessary to look more than one "link in the chain" ahead. Focusing only on the seeming needs to solve a current problem by any means regardless of future consequences is folly to say the least.<br /><br />This kind of "thinking" is how all the problems of statecraft are created. It's of course fitting the Churchill should have stated this because he was the greatest of all blunderers in modern affairs. Whether it was the Galipoli invasion, his anti-German agitation in 1919 and through 1940, his blunder in Norway in 1940, his blunders in the re-supply of the USSR which led to the destruction of most of the British merchant marine in the arctic, his blundering alliance with Stalin, his insane invasion of southern Europe through Italy, and on and on....<br />Not to mention his imperialist criminality such as in the genicical war against the south African Dutch to steal their country's gold, and the instalation of the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi in 1953 after the UN and World Court found against British Petroleum....<br /><br />Churchill was not only an inept, incompetent blunderer but a murderous criminal as well.MITmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712376188659356195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480959310171271494.post-50678358531650989452013-06-14T22:04:44.165-07:002013-06-14T22:04:44.165-07:00"And if you need a friend get a dog."

The meeting was chaired by the indomitable Commissioner Sally Heyman, Miami-Dade's own "Iron Lady." Margaret Mead posited, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Let's hope that is true and will be made true when the full Board of County Commissioners votes on the Pets Trust Initiative on Tuesday, June 18. Again, thank you for adding your voice to speak for the voiceless. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960670350840017834noreply@blogger.com
