Panagioti, the guy who has never found a cause that he didn't love,was the host of last night's forum at the Organic Cafe. He was likeable and conducted the Forum in a professional and orderly manner, taking some questions from the audience. The questions pertaining to the environment really were not important to the overall welfare of our city and not particularly objective as none hit on the important issues other than The Mentoring Center (a cause celebre of Cara Jennings) that is a magnet for illegal aliens. Significant issues such as crime, blight, slum, taxes, water, height restrictions, electric, business and the economy were ignored.
Environmentalists and the Green Party were present and I would estimate perhaps 25% of the audience were not 100% affiliated philosophically with Cara's chosen candidates or this Group. They still had open minds or were just there out of curiosity or to hear all of the candidates. Having mixed emotions whether the boycott from five candidates was justified or not, I admired those who came. After there, I realized it didn't make that much difference and those choosing not to attend spoke the loudest. As this was not a debate, there were no winners or losers.
All was fine with Panagioti until one point near the end--resistance took over should we all forget--when he had to define himself as an anarchist, like that is a badge of some sort of honor.
He is part of the Global Justice Group, a group that believes in justice for all. He is wrapped up in the power of the protest, rebelling against any established order, any authority, any ruling power plus he is for open borders. He hates the free market capitalistic system, the very ideology that has made this country great and a government that has allowed him to protest.
Is this just another definition of "progressive" in Lake Worth?
