This
really annoys me because it continues to happen. It was not just one
person last week, but now others. Before I get into what annoys me, let
me remind the critics, I spent years representing poor people - almost
exclusively minorities - in civil rights cases and criminal cases. I
have a solid record. I still work hard to help those who need help (ask
anyone!) And what do I read tonight? Others coming out and critical
of anyone using a word that they now claim to be wrong.
I am talking about the word thug. Wrong word, really? Thug is now a
word I can't use to call those who set cars on fire, throw rocks at
police and burn down senior centers? Really? I would call ANYONE, with
any ethnic background a thug who throws rocks at police and sets cars on
fire (and yes, I would call a police officer or a lawyer or anyone else
who beats up an innocent person a thug, too.)
But what is
annoying, is rather than working on the real problems - jobs, education,
education, etc - some are consumed with the words we use. That is
absurd. We need people to work on real problems -- not people running
around telling everyone what to say and implying they are racists when
they are not.
Now, replace the word "thug" with the "N" word and change the venue to Lake Worth City Hall. Get it yet? This is all beyond absurd brought about by holier than thou politically righteous hypocrites stirring the pot.

Greta is right on. What has the world become? A melting pot here for big-time losers. I spend 5 months out of the year in Lake Worth and it is one horrible place politically speaking. If you could get rid of these dim-wits, it would be a wonderful place. I came here because of the great beach and the small town feel, like to play golf once a week.
Lynn, remember the days when you and the bce were saying no Ruth-Chris or Fridays for us. Now we have a big loser up there and you still are trying to muck up any progress.
Progress is NOT giving our casino/complex away on a long-term lease. Sorry, your argument doesn't work. Frankly, I never advocated against chains although part of the charm of LW as well as the beach is the small town charm. I just was against Greater Bay as I am Hudson Holdings...all for the same reasons.
I am sure that if Fridays, etc. wanted to come to the LW beach they would be welcomed. Where have they been? What has Anderson & Carr ever done?
The casino is NOT a big loser. Don't believe all the hype being thrown out by people who are clueless in doing their jobs and forever playing the blame game.
