Stop trying to defend your ignorance by acting stupid

After a brief and pleasant break from the diatribe of nonsense printed in the Wareham Pravda, and a call to be more civil from Jane Donahue, Paul Shooter's mentor has returned. His firm grip on Wareham politics was on display in his latest editorial. He has all the bunkers prepared and the bombs to lob at the "recall crew". What he didn't anticipate, which is unfortunate, is that while he was on the night watch for the recall crew, citizens of Wareham walked past him and didn't wave. Huh? Where did all the protesters go? Why aren't these people as upset as I am? The reason is simple, people want change.

Did the meeting fail? Hardly. The majority of the people walked away with a new direction and sense of purpose. Many that didn't attend because of interference from the Selectmen and their mouthpiece wrote emails and made calls in support of the movement. Basically, the effort to squash the meeting failed. That isn't the only loss for The Pravda and a few of local politicians. The "many supporters" that were to show up for a protest, must have either stayed at home, or wanted change not protest.

I have a hypothetical situation to put forth. If we no longer shop at the stores that sell the Wareham Pravda, and they decide to NOT carry the propaganda sheet, would we be boycotting?   It's just a question, so you can't possibly accuse anyone of boycotting, right? No amount of explanation would be believable, so let us stop the nonsense. Racial baiting is irresponsible and dangerous no matter how you spin it. I would think the public officals in this town would come out in support of that statement and at least admonish two people who did their best to incite tension.

On Tuesday night, Jane Donahue called for both sides to tone down the rhetoric and practice civility. This was right after Brenda Eckstrom tossed another sarcastic barb, "Press is not excluced from the meeting". Is it any wonder there is rhetoric? One of the worst, Bruce Sauvageau was not in attendance, so again, the call fell on deaf ears. If you want someone to do something, be prepared to show you can do it. It certainly doesn't help when your mouthpiece, the Wareham Pravda, starts it all over again the day he comes back off vacation. We haven't heard from Bruce yet, but "civil" is not his best suit.

Everyone is important in this town. No one is above the laws and rules, and we should all be able to work together. If only we could expect that from certain Selectmen, The Wareham Observer, and the Town Moderator. What a glorious place this would be to live, work, and raise your family!  That is why change is important!
