Ohh... that's r...Has anyone seen Mr. Wood's podium? Ohh... that's right...he sold it. To some guy in Jamestown who didn't give a rat's you-know-what about BI. <br />Bravo Everett! I was thrilled to see Mr. Wood squirm in the same headlock he has placed so many in himself. It's called Karma! Unfortunately, I think Mr. Wood is unable to draw the parrallel. <br />But his letter does raise an interesting point. Why is it okay for the publisher to shoot his arrows, while Mr. Wood is not? One reason...money. Mr. Hagopian is an advertiser in the BI Times (HI-speed ferry). (I would blame it on him being a lawyer, but so is Bob!)<br />People are far more conscious of how what they do, will affect their wallet.<br /><br />I was also glad to see some positive (no MJ bashing) letters in the paper. I think anyone on the list for the houses on the West Side should be writing letters and standing up for the project. It's unfortunate the only people who have witnessed the parade of hopeful homeowners speak their hearts and minds, were those in attendance at the various meetings leading to it's approval. I wish every taxpayer could have seen the articulate, hardworking people, young and old, telling their story because they knew it was important. <br />Even more impressive is listening to the people who "have theirs" fight for those who don't.<br />BTW Anyone who disputes the appropriateness of the location, must be an abutter. There is not a more perfect location for this project on this Island that I can think of...that hasn't been bought up by the Land Trust, TNC or BIC.<br /><br />PS Anyone notice how in defending her ex in her letter to the editor, Ms. Ritter-Smith basically acknowledged Mr. doesn't live here? At least his heart does...right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
