It was early in the term when that whole performance happened. I remembered it clearly. It was at that meeting when I knew that there were people on that council that were weak and cowardly.

*****************************
It is a beautiful morning. Not special. A start of the day like any other.
A year, a month, a week, a life all are lived one day at a time. Each with a beginning and an end.
No dress rehearsal. Once played it's gone forever.
Chris Watts' blog has nuggets of logic to cogitate.
Comment ID does eliminate unpleasant parlance. Weakness and cowardice do not enter the picture Just the nasty nature of the beast that knows not to expose the depth of spite.
That being said it's not a lot of work to hit the delete button.
This blog may be the only opportunity to engage however brief and minuscule the sample, in conversation about many things. Some trivial. Some not so much.Everything does not have to be
riveting.
We are not shaping each other's opinion as much as reflecting facets.
I often wonder why a particular event creates a detailed flashback in memory.
My memory of the event referenced in the comment is probably the same. But weakness and cowardice were not to my mind the contributing factors.
Weakness and cowardice are only a betrayal of oneself.

Going just on my memory of that event, it got etched simply because it was so completely unexpected, And, sadly, it has never really gone away.
We might see the same sort of thing again without having a similar reaction. But I sure hope there will not be a repeat performance.
Good grief, he really did take out our resident troll ! It is not going to make it happy to have its investigative abilities questioned.
"...it got etched simply because it was so completely unexpected"
That speaks solely to your perspective, 14:07, not to the actual events of the evening.
It may have not been a contributing factor, but it was the end result. Clearly something happened. You may have been privy to that information. But it really doesn't matter. Bottom line is the trust factor did go out the window, along with a lot of taxpayers money.
I consider us fortunate to have both you & Mr Watts. That & the Auroran are important to me.
17:12 - Amen to that!

Thank you, always appreciate when you pick up the slack.
@16:01
I was there that evening. My recall is that a number of speakers did not identify themselves & subsequent conversation in the lobby revealed that they were not Aurorans. Someone had pulled the e-mails and cell phones out & gathered the outside advocates to howl. [ not even going to speculate on the identity of that person. ]
It was a nasty evening.
We seem to have learned a bit since then. Speakers are now asked to clearly identify themselves at council.
It would be great if the troll could comment on CW's site -it might remove its need to pontificate here.
Trust is not a renewable resource.
Good night, sleep tight, and may the blessings of the new year fall on and all around you.
