BLACK BOX WARNING:PLEASE NOTE THAT USE OF THIS LEXICON MIGHT PROVE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, TO YOUR ABILITY TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE CV. USE WITH CARE; IN FACT, BETTER NOT TO USE IT AT ALL.
We are living through turbulent times these days, what with the world exploding with extremists and terrorists all over the world, but lest you feel that we are safe here in our little Village, think again. Here our extremists take the shape of the inventors of new words, of new meanings for old words. Beware that you do not fall into the trap of using these words outside the Village lest people think that you need a mental evaluation.
One such term is No Fi. I have searched all over the Internet and yet could find no reference to this anywhere else other than here. It seems that David Israel, the editor of this new lexicon, thinks that he is using it as an insult to his opponents who propose sanity in connection with his Wi Fi proposal, yet his mental status now comes into play.
Another term is "snipe sign". This one is a bit more dangerous to people as its use indicates a deep seated aversion to the right of free speech, a treasured right of the American people. It derives from an indignant response to two signs in the Village placed legally on association property which urged support for a suit dealing with the awful road job and for the OPT OUT option connected to said Wi Fi proposal. Apparently, in this lexicon and Bizzarro world, to oppose David Israel means to snipe at him, a term usually used when discussing warfare tactics rather than meaning that someone is using the right of free speech. I wonder how all the people who place signs all over the place, be it for a law firm, a hospital, a politician, a product, or whatever, feel about this new definition and anti free speech stand?
Finally, here is a third term for the day - the word "malcontent". David Israel has used it strictly in a pejorative sense, meaning someone who is not satisfied with the status quo and who complains and acts upon it. Well, BACKFIRE!!! We are pleased and proud to be known as "malcontents" as that means we are following in the proud tradition which led to the founding of our country and its improvement over its history as "malcontents" were those groups who provided the impetus for an eight hour work day, minimum wage, union rights, health care, governmental programs during times of need, voting rights for all citizens and not just property holders, women's rights, gay rights, anti discrimination laws including an Amendment and on and on. So "malcontents" we are.
Now let us tackle another problem, one which I am sure will engender great sympathy for me. My Gracie, my not so Amazing Grace says she does not like me and wonders what kind of president I would have made. Well, for sure one who knows that Wi Fi was NOT voted for and I would not have followed her ridiculous stand up there at the assembly where she vehemently said it had been voted for. Really, Gracie, get your facts straight. And, FYI, I would have made a great president because I actually care about the residents of the Village, for their welfare and their rights, for a Village that runs properly, with process and procedure, with proper and skillful management, with proper and careful budgeting that would be ever so careful and aware of ALL our residents and their pockets, with a UCO administration open to ALL, with an Ombudsman who truly would help the residents, not serve as a shill for WPRF and the Levys, with proper pre planning in a timely manner for the new agreements that will have to be negotiated and that will form the lifeline - or not - of our Village and the list can go on and on - Oh, and I would run a FAIR and IMPARTIAL election process under the supervision of an impartial outside entity. Shall I write more? Huh, Gracie? Had enough?
Olga has written well about her pilfered signs on her blog, but let me just add that the rush to say one is innocent of this and the moronic Elaine going so far as to say that Olga stole it herself to cast doubt on The David Israel crew! Truly amazing and graceless. Maybe Grace should join in their litany of stupidity? And DonHoHo, why would you get ever so close to the signs to see their back? Planning a nefarious deed, perhaps? And why immediately say and infer that the signs must have been scavenged so to steal them is fair turnabout? Ever hear of a salvage yard and how they sell salvaged items? Ever hear of people finding things and then repurposing them, such as selling or giving them to other people? I have no clue as to where and how these signs were found, other than the certain belief that they were not illegal, and care only about the message on them, which obviously frightens the whole crew of you and that is good, oh, so, good. Next time, keep all your hands to yourselves and do not destroy the property of others. You are actually doing quite well in that aspect right here in the Village.
