With all due respect, Jan, I thought your post was intended to rail against the Villages authorities:

If others wish to accept whatever is handed to them without question, 'SHAME ON THEM."

The Villages is still part of the United States. Being retired from your job does not mean you are retired from being a responsible citizen. We are not a bunch of sheep.

I totally agree with you and Beady that everyone should feel free to express opinions and be willing to listen to opposing or alternative positions. Posts and their replies should certainly refrain from personal criticism or attacks. There are factual and diplomatic ways to disagree with a position without insulting or demeaning the author.
