Someone just challenged me to put up his post wherein he says that we bloggers should be posting positives, cheerleading for the City, if you will. You can see the comment under Quotes blog on Stanton below.
There is a blogger in this city who is rather new and does write P&R pieces about Lake Worth. They are wonderful, so check with LINKS on the right side of this column. Her background is as such and she is a professional photographer I believe. She has not lived here long enough to understand our history or the politics and the decisions that have cost us dearly and have led us to become one of the highest taxed cities in Palm Beach County with the highest commercial electric rate in the State of Florida. She is writing in her area of interest.
Without citizens complaining and without newsmen and bloggers writing about what goes on in our society, we will be a doormat to corruption, to inept leadership and to costly decisions.
This is my niche, my interest. Everyone has things that they want to write about. My blog is opinion. There is a lot of research that goes into certain opinions. Mary Lindsey's and Wes Blackman's are the same...opinion blogs. We could be writing about Man Invents Vibrating Toilet Seat That Helps You Enjoy the Magic Moment but our interest lies with Lake Worth and all its facets, good and bad.
Setting a positive tone for the City should be done by our elected officials and the direction in which they take our city that will ultimately bring us closer to that commenter's utopia, not by residents who only want to cheerlead us into the next millinium by being annoyed by truth or an opinion that differs from their own.
