In this particular case, I think Dwayne is like the dog that chases the car, but when he catches it, he doesn't know what to do with it. The dog is so busy with the chase, he hasn't given a thought to what he's going to do with the car after he catches it. After he barks at it awhile, and stares at it awhile, he tucks his tail between his legs and walks away.
Dwayne had his tail between his legs Tuesday night.
So Dwayne, as I get sucked into your vacuum, I am wondering, will you deal with the car???? Do you even know how to deal with the car????? Or are you going to keep barking at the car and faking being a tough dog while the occupants of the car are laughing at your foolishness????
Or will you walk away?????

Good analogy, Steve. I'm glad you didn't mention what kind o' car it was 'cause he might use that to figger out who you are. He's a master sleuth, ya know!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hee hee hee hee hee hee!
But seriously, what's the plan, Dwayne?

| I know you guys are poking fun here, which is okay, but I seriously would love to see some open dialogue and debate. I would hope that if somebody got on here that had different ideas or just wanted to debate, they would be welcomed on this forum just like anybody else.

Sorry, Sandra! We were postin' at the same time...... Just wanted to make sure you know that OF COURSE we would welcome ANYONE AND EVERYONE. I really don't think there has been any question about that.... We have a group on here now who do not always agree but we still have civil repartee' (sp?)....
I think everyone is very serious when they invite Dwayne to join in.... He already monitors us, so why not converse with us? We all might learn something, and help resolve some differences....

Thanks fer bringin' that up, Sandra. Macca's right, we welcome differin' views, we're beggin' fer differin' views, an' we've shown we can be civil when we ain't got no choice. These discussions get spirited at times an' I'm the worst fer gettin' carried away from time to time, but I don't think any of us go out of our way to be downright mean about it without some kind o' provocation.
Dwayne's made some curious decisions lately an' treated some people purty shabbily an' we'd like to know why. To many of us the CC's are a strangely obtuse group, claimin' they're for open gover'ment but not in their backyard. They want a level playin' field, but not in their backyard. They wanna know ever'body else's bidness, but they keep theirs behind a iron curtain. Maybe these are misconceptions on our part, but how can we clear them up without a dialogue? We would love a dialogue with them an' anybody else.
I further think the tone of some recent posts is understandable in response to the outrageous behavior we've been discussin'.
But that's just my opinion. Anybody else got a differ'nt one?

Thank You Sandra, you are correct, and I would diligently welcome anybody's right to free speech in this forum, regardless of their opinion & standing.
My comments above regarding the dog chasing the car weren't intended as poking fun, I am dead serious.
However, I would seriously welcome someone with a different opinion or angle on the situation.

Of course we'd welcome dialogue and debate, but if they aren't gonna come and debate with us, then we'll just have to keep on discussing and debating among ourselves. Steve, you really are a master at those analogies. 
Here are the SFTC members in the Stokesdale Parade. 
Bob, you're supposed to THROW the candy!!!!! 
Just in case you can't tell, that's Mark's chin in the upper left hand corner.
I counted only 4 of our council members. Even saw Mark hanging around to clean up afterward.
Thanks to Dena, Mark, Bob and Carolyn for representing Summerfield in the Stokesdale parade!!

| Not everyone is going to appreciate my opinion, but WB thinks it's time to say 'Nuff said.' After all, it's the Christmas season and we should make a point of wishing all of our Summerfield neighbors and council members, including Becky and Dwayne, a wonderful Merry Christmas.

Frankly, I wish we had some diverse opinions on this subject, even someone who would play devils advocate.
In Washington DC politics, no matter the subject, the Democrats & Republicans are sure to generate healthy (?) debate on all matter.......ie let's raise the minimum wage up (loud cheer from those in minimum wage jobs), critics say.....it will drive inflation up, drive prices up etc (well, now it's time to generate some data to prove or disprove).
OK, y'all, we're seeking out some diverse opinions, if you're lurking and don't agree with what is being said here, or see if from a different angle......please jump in.

Actually WB, I do appreciate your opinion.
I would hope you could help us with some diverse opinions on this subject.

Perhaps WB is saying it's time to stop beating a dead horse?
Now that could mean we need to have a funeral and bury the darn thing before the smell gets worse or we could continue to try and breath a little life back into what seems to be nothing more than skin and bones?
Is that about right WB?

It's like a scab, Mr Jim. Pappy cain't he'p but pick at it.
If they would just show some sign that they care what the other side has to say, I'd tone it down a notch. But I don't don't see any effort on their part to meet halfway, or anyway. Until somethin' changes, I feel the need to prod, pick, an' poke.
