No, folks, not talking of the saints but of the legendary singing trio that most of us remember from days gone by. Their music was the soul of a generation and it continues so to the present .
Trying to fill some time as I try to recuperate from this flu/bronchitis/Pittsburgh version, I found a recording from about a month or so ago of a PBS program about them. As I watched it, and sang with it - and bless your stars that you did not hear that! - I realized that much of what they sang , sang to us here in CV. Yup! Not kidding.
If ever a group stood for the values of freedom, of democracy, it was this group. Hear the words in your head again. "...it's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom...." Strange that we have to fight for those concepts here in CV in the USA. As homegrown fascism raises its ugly head here in the Village, as it engages once more with the ugly policies of fascism - the lies, the dehumanization of the opponents, the push to shut them up, their demonization as the source and cause of all that is wrong in the world - in this particular the Village - the implied and explicit threat of physical intimidation - the words of that trio ring loud and clear.
How many can remember singing their song, "We Shall Not Be Moved"? Remember the refrain. "We shall not, we shall not be moved (2x) Like a tree standing by the water we shall not be moved."
And there you have our philosophy and determination. Forget this crap about 6 "malcontents" ruining Wi Fi for us all. Forget about the crap about 6 "malcontents" forcing down the budget - and please G-d may that happen again in the Feb. DA. There were a hell of a lot of votes, way more than 6, to overthrow these plans of the current UCO. The anger, the determination of the delegates was powerful - and about time. Once more, refer to the trio - "How many times can a man turn his head before he can hear people cry" - and the answer in this case is not blowin' in the wind - but marked by the votes.
Lie all they want to, put on their brown shirts literally or figuratively, CV is a democracy and so it will remain. We will not allow them to continue to steal our rights, to lie, to threaten, to steal our security and future from us. We will stand up to them, vote down their nonsense and continue to show up at assemblies to do just that. Two hours a month is not a hardship to keep one's rights intact.
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED - NOT FROM OUR PATH, NOT FROM THE VILLAGE, AND NOT FROM OUR CAUSE.
Come join us, run for office, become a delegate or insist that your delegate vote the association choice, not his or her private one, elect the right people and regain a voice, a say, in your administration.
6 malcontents my -------!I know the manhood of some of you may be challenged and there are certainly gender identification problems such as the one that Gracie - oops, my not so amazing Grace - has, who cannot recognize the "fat little man" (her words) as her own leader. That will need more professional help than I can give, but if you need help in mathematics and counting, in understanding history, in reading documents of our country and what they guarantee us - hey, just come to us. We have many gifted teachers and thinkers who will gladly help you - cost free. Our pleasure. Hey, wanna' debate????
NO FOURTH TERM. NO FOURTH TERM
Go to the meeting today in the Clubhouse at 3:30 and hear more about the budget scam they are trying to pull. Muy importante!
