   And pray tell, Spider, why would you want me to go against logic and help the "other side" retain their stranglehold on this community? If I did as you have suggested- ie- participate in a position of Ms. Gilleland's choosing, it wouldn't take me long to disagree with what that position was being used for. At this point in time, I'm not sure, knowing how they operate, that I could look myself in the mirror after helping them. I would have "sold out" to the problem children. The CORRECT way?- I haven't seen the CORRECT way in years here in town as to the administration of the town's prosperity. Positive, constructive, futuristic personality???- What a great sarcastic line! I like it! Yes I do care about Middletown. Some of the best years of my life were spent here- (here we go again- in the 50's and 60's). Been accused of being outspoken a time or two- very observant! You, full of BS? No more so than many of us! Yes, I would very much like to be a part of the rebirth (hopefully) of the city. I just can't bring myself around to include working with any part of the current group that is in control now. I dislike/resent the majority of them, so much so that I don't want anything to do with them.Right or wrong, the feelings are strong in the resentment category. I would like to see them all gone- now.

	I can't say too much about City Council. I do not live in the city limits so I do not vote. I do own a business in Middletown.... So, we have to keep up with certain ordinances & laws. We support people who support us as a business and socially. Isn't that what makes the world go round? As a business owner, I have learned not to get tooooo upset about certain things. I have learned to pick & choose my battles. Hey spiderjohn, we ordered lunch from 56degrees today. Yum. Clam Chowder and Club sandwich. We try to eat there or order from there once a week. My hubby actually has a meeting there tomorrow evening.
