The above is seemingly the mantra of Florida, borrowed by Louisiana, in its behavior and instructions re hurricanes. Personally, my mantra is to get the hell out of the area altogether, but it is not possible all the time, so not bad advice. However, one cannot hide nor run from the truth or bad news 100% of the time. Nor can an additional mantra of the GOP and the RNC be tolerated. One cannot stomp on the truth, demean the country, abase its citizens, show contempt for all conventions of society and civilization, and expect that "stomp" on the truth will always work, though it does too much of the time.
Unfortunately, this second mantra has trickled down into all levels of government, and why not? If the big dude gets away with it, well, goose and gander, so just stomp away, just hide and run, but please know that the truth will out. Responsibility, blame and guilt, will be assigned properly and the dues will be demanded. And paid.
What is confusing is the interim. So now we hear that Sheldon Silver is finally going off to prison for his crimes. When asked for home detention rather than dying in prison, the judge said it was, " “corruption, pure and simple.” and "his time has come....he needs to go to jail." I ask now, why is this case different as Trump is so corrupted that I doubt he can even walk a straight line or tell the truth about anything, even what he just watched on TV!! Corruption is just that and no coloring outside the lines of truth can disguise that fact.
His wife tells us that we need and deserve an honest man. Well, honesty is as far away from Trump as I am from understanding the physics of atomic fusion! Being honest about racist feelings, about mistreatment and contempt for women, of violations of rules by misusing the White House and other governmental fixtures and personnel for his own gain and political benefit, alleged tax fraud, hiding medical truths, and we can go on and on. The facts are there, and run, hide, stomp all you will, but the truth is the truth. And the truth will out. It always does. Hopefully, in time.
The truth is also extremely relevant here in CV as well. At present we have a do nothing, or worse, president of UCO, the governing body. He evidently believes quite deeply into his cold soul that silence, hiding, running from the truth, is the way to go. Worse, there are more and more stories of his extremely erratic behavior inside the walls of UCO, bizarre behavior and comments, and a deepening penchant for delay, for concealment, for cancellation of governmental activities or simply banning delegates and interested residents from all meetings. It is only now after much complaint and questioning that this supposed expert on tech stuff has recognized the fact that ZOOM exists and is being used all over the world - and even right here in the Village. We will see if the promise to ZOOM at one meeting even happens.
We can demand answers as to why the Clubhouse is closed to all meetings. Why has the delegate assembly been canceled for over half a year already? The theater can take about 225 people with social distancing, been offered to the Village for meetings, but David insists on keeping the budget, the finances, the issues and needs of the Village under shrouds of secrecy, of lies, of behavior rivaling that of Trump in his dictatorial style of government, in his lies and evasions, in his ignoring of the rules of society and our own bylaws, in his alleged demented and paranoid behavior. He refuses to prepare for future needs, crucial needs, and what are we supposed to do in the meanwhile, even as deadlines and needs grow stronger. Even as questions need to be answered as to what is going on with property nearby, with our own security and fencing, with the growing needs to police the violations around here such as hoarders, junk cars, violations of safety precautions, non permit building that endangers entire associations, deteriorating roads and a lack of funds still hanging over us from the misuse of funds, the extremely poor contract, from the last debacle of repaving. and a total shutdown of UCO for all intents and purposes.
No, the governments on all levels of this country need help, need reformation- and now. We can vote the best way in November and get rid of that ugly man in the White House and his ugly cohort with him, but we are stuck right now with David, unless we actually rise up. Demand a recall. Do the hearing the right way. Demand open government. Have a sit - in at UCO. Stand or sit with posters and blockade the building. Demand that he come out from hiding and answer questions. Demand that delegate assemblies be opened again and questions be posed with answers forthcoming.
Enough already with this corruption on all levels in this country. Enough of people who think they are IT and can do whatever they want, if they want, how they want, when they want. No! There is a responsibility and duty owed to the people of and on all governmental levels and we need to demand that all elected officials and all appointees answer to those duties. If not? Then get the hell out of town and let in the air, the truth, the light and proper government.
If we do not speak up and out on all levels, then we are at fault and deserve the governments we get - such as right now. It is all on us. That is the truth and no running or hiding or stomping will change it. Vote Trump and his evil out and as for David - "Come out, come out, wherever you are." We are waiting and will not go away.
