Sorry, I forgot to address your comment of "wasting hours and hours" on issues like water and guns. To a certain extent, it does appear as wasting time, but I see it a little differently.

I see the water bill issue as raising the consciousness of the folks, regardless of some public officials to create a division amongst property owners with claims of misinformation.

I see the gun issue as a passionate attempt by the president and gun control advocates under the protection of the 1st amendment to diminish the reality of peer review articles and data that clearly indicates that strict gun control will and does not prevent and/or impact the Sandy Hook style disasters in a gun free zone.

It should make us keener, to go beyond the simple partisan bickering and media framed arguments.

I encourage open debate and yes even votes on a referendum by local and county officials elected to represent us. Why? Because, going forward, I now want our state representatives to understand that local governing bodies are willing to represent us as a body to move forward the importance of reminding and influencing our state officials the importance of state sovereignty to counter the power of the federal government whose powers were granted by the states and enumerated in the Constitution. We must start somewhere, so I like to nudge those closest at hand. But the reality, our state representatives must act to protect us from the overreach of the federal government now spreading like cancer to take away our inalienable rights (rights that are not transferable).

I guess in today's world, everything is assumed to be transferable, from our once held inalienable rights to density credits, all under the heading: Progressive?

My theme, everything is related because what was once considered a plan, a contract, is now transferable.

All I can ask, is we all pay attention!
