Worth a second post:
Yesterday I saw the latest Messenger newsletter on our
bulletin board, and I took it down to read. As usual, it was almost entirely
negatives, bashing one person after another, with the UCO president, Dave
Israel, of course, their prime scapegoat. Later I got to thinking, what if all
this bashing and negativity were in the UCO Reporter?—for that is what the mals
would like. I would venture to say not many residents would want to read the
Reporter anymore!
I
also got to thinking about the mals' whining and complaining
about not being allowed to use the pools for their "rallies." The
reason has been made clear: it's because these partisan meetings of a
dozen to thirty people could very well be an unwelcome intrusion to
those who want to be
at the pools in order to relax and enjoy some quiet—the purpose of the
pools in
the first place.
Then I got to thinking: Dave Israel hasn't had any rallies at
the pools (at least not in this election cycle), so it's not as though he HAS
been allowed pool rallies during this campaign and the mals have not. So what's
the big beef? And what's the big fuss about using the Clubhouse for the
malcontent meetings and rallies? Dave hasn't had any such get-togethers at the
Clubhouse during this election campaign that I'm aware of. His campaign
meetings have been in homes.
Dave has one blog, and the mals have THREE. Dave doesn't
have "Vote for Dave" signs up all over the place, but the mals do. To
my knowledge, no Dave flyers have been put on bulletin boards—which are
considered private property, for condo use only by some condo associations.
And I don't see how the mals can complain (though they do)
about the delegate meetings. They have had more voice—strident, disruptive
voices at that—than anybody! They go on and on, one after another up to the
mike, while the "non-mals" (the sensibles) patiently put up with them,
only emitting a collective groan every so often. The long-suffering sensibles,
however, know how to have the last word—through their votes.
So what's the big beef? I'm beginning to think the mals are
crybabies.
UCO

FOR WORKERS NOT WHINERS
