Now if we can just tame the subdivision builders. Maybe a prescribed burn?
JUST KIDDING (insert evil laugh here)
Please, Governor Ivey, act fast--before horrible, horrible Fairhope declares itself the "Tripping Capital of the South."
We mock those who mock themselves by turning every news item into an indictment of Fairhope and the good people who DO wish to live here.
Hysteria, hatred, and sanctimony make a toxic stew.
A: All-consuming jealousy.
Yes, I--for one--am. I confess. I had no idea that there were "weeds in some parks." Unbelievable! Unprecedented! Unnatural!
I also looked up the composition of our streets, and I am wrong on that, too. Nobody should have asserted that the "streets are paved on gold" (though, I cannot find where anyone wrote that). Turns out they are concrete, rebar, and asphalt. AND, most of them look as if somebody has driven upon them!
I'm going to shut my big mouth and just wait for the next post. I'm compiling a list of logical fallacies employed by the Fairhope Henny Penny Club, and it's difficult to keep up! (Straw man much? Ad hominem much? False dilemma much? Sweeping generalization much? Red herring much?)
