Government burning own bridges?

“So, naturalists observe two fleas hath smaller fleas that on him prey and so proceed than infinite."

Dear Editor:

“So, naturalists observe two fleas hath smaller fleas that on him prey and so proceed than infinite. This every pact (Councilor) in his kind is bit by him that comes behind.” – Jonathan Swift

In “Case Present” I have noted that two for Townsmen and women have abandoned common sense in jumping to conclusion without first establishing their reason to be.

First of all you (for most of the residents) have five natural senses. The dominance of one over the others evolves in the individual having blind spots. In this test, I will describe two of these traits clearly. Firstly most can hear but fail to listen. Secondly, many do not realize who they are or where they are.

Item one is they’re tending to hear with their mouths hanging open and spouting over talk. Unless one sits with his or her chair front, he or she will not listen. The same goes for those who slumber against the back of the chair. By failing to hear nor digest the trait of “listening is lost.”

Note: “They who say most in little are listened to most.” – By author. The second trait I will address in short follows:

• You are Canadian citizens.

• You are a resident in the Ponoka County.

• You are eligible to vote in an Alberta provincial election and have history of doing so.

Thus we, of the above qualified, have elected the past and present governments to represent us to fulfill our community needs. We have grossly over benefited by our management. This is evident in the Provincial Building (which, we the taxpayers own.)

It seems strange that some refuse to pay stipend to use their own asset

 Conclusion: You, the government, are biting your own behind as much as the introduction implied.
