Top Ten Reasons to Celebrate Thanksgiving

(As Related to Marco Island ...)

The city manager is leaving.
The city police chief is perennially looking to leave.
The detwatering is predominantly affecting the marine life - as opposed to predominantly affecting us.
There will be an election on January 29, 2008.
We can elect four persons to the next city council.
Ten solid residents have announced their candidacies thereby affording us choices!
None of the candidates have a last name of Clinton.
We live on a beautiful island ...
Striving to live in harmony ...
In the greatest country!

Dr. Sanchez,

Regarding reason number six "Ten solid residents have announced their candidacies thereby affording us choices", please read my comment titled "A Dumb Idea" posted Tuesday, November 20, 2007 12:25:00 PM, following Doug Enman's blog.

mr. sarlo
you are correct - especially so as related to the dilution effect and the motivation for same.

i should have been clearer in what my thoughts were in this regard. i should have expanded upon "solid" by first not using that word but by stating that the purposes for which each candidate is running is solidly supported by - in many cases - the special interests that they serve.

and as you correctly point out the interest, intentional or inadvertent by their own hands, serves to water down the process.

in summary on this point, "solid" as to who wants them to run.

assuredly, i can not possibly claim that all candidates will be "solid" councilors since for the most part i have no idea what some of them stand for except that they want to continue the strp and bring unity to the island. ... akin to the line in the ms. congeniality movie where each beauty queen finishes her answer to the question of what is your goal with ... "and world peace".

so ... thank you for pointing this out and an unintentional lack of explanation on my part on that issue.

Where opinions, views and insights about Marco Island Florida are shared!

The Marco Island Blog strongly supports the cityhood of Marco Island, having its own police, fire and emergency services, its own public works, its community and park initiatives, having its own government and much much more.

This blog is an OPEN forum. Not one comment is moderated, all postings are welcomed, all submissions have been posted.

Progress and consensus are derived solely from communicating with those that don't agree with you. It comes by putting out your ideas and opinions for everyone to see and thereby making them available to be contradicted, criticized and condemned. Let the ideas and opinions pass or fail on their own merit as adjudicated by the rigors of a populace debate.

That practice is the foundation of a successful democracy. And that is the purpose of this blog.

This blog also stands for democratic, federalist and Jeffersonian principles, is against the abuse of government, and stands for the free publications of all views.

It is the duty - the obligation - of every citizen to question, inspect and critique the actions of government. Such is one of the basic tenets of a democracy.

"I am for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." Thomas Jefferson

As we are.
