Speaking in opposition to the proposed construction of a Retirement Community in the Santa Rosa, California area,
it was said:
“The project, if approved, would be built over the top of blades of grass, stones, and such that perhaps used to be people. There are many cultures that believe that their ancestors come back as a tree, they come back as a grain of sand, they come back as a part of nature, and that you are walking with those all the time.”
OK, here’s the fun part. Asked to comment on the proposed construction project, the above statement was made by:
A. A student in a California kindergarten class?
B. A UC Berkeley Philosophy Professor?
C. A stoned thirteen-year-old sitting with friends on the sidewalk in front of a cafe?
D. A street corner Sage?
E. Woody Harrelson?
F. A member of the ‘Leaves for Jesus’ Enviro-religious cult?
G. A resident of Napa State Hospital (mental institution)?
H. Swami Origami?
I. All of the above?
J. None of the above?
Just take a few minutes now, this is a hard one.
All right, I’ll help you out. If you guessed ‘A’ thru ‘H’, you’re way wrong, although any one of them might have said the same thing if asked.
If you guessed ‘I’, you could have been right, but again, they were never asked.
But if you guessed ‘J’ you’re smart enough to get elected to the Santa Rosa City Council.
Yes, that’s correct folks, the statement was made by Marsha Vas Dupre, the Vice-Mayor of the City of Santa Rosa, California. The statement was given as her reason for voting against the proposed construction of a new Retirement Community.
“. . . . . . The project, if approved, would be built over the top of blades of grass, stones, and such that perhaps used to be people.”
Like I have always said, “AAAARRRRHHHH!”
God help us all. These people are managing our communities, and our tax dollars!
Just kill me now.
