I certainly agree that a person has the right to air their unhappiness and/or disagreement with anything. And my comments were certainly not aimed at Fran. I've disagreed with her and likely she with me a number of times on various issues. And though I do not know her, I perceive Fran as an individual who has looked at the positives and negatives of TV and determines it weighs heavily on the positive. Probably I would agree with her on far more than we would disagree.

Yes, everyone has a right to speak out against what they find wrong in our society. In fact, I believe we have a duty to do so. My concern is with those who find more negatives than positives, who seemingly live to complain. We've had several posters who rave about TV, except they want fences, statues, free plastic garbage contrainers, golf cart licenses and air bags, no visitor passes, increased visitor passes, no kids, more kids, increased gates, no gates. But they are still determined to move here and get the rules changed to fit their specific desires. People have to be reminded that TV is not for everyone. That does not make the person good or bad, nor does it make TV good or bad. People are different and have different interests, desires, and need. People have to be reminded that "There's always a choice."

And while I'm pontificating, when exactly did Gary Morse :edit: in everybody's soup? Mr. Schwartz has been canonized, primarily because he is dead, while Morse and the rest of the family are blamed for everything and credited with nothing. Yes, good old Harold used to walk the streets greeting everyone and undoubtedly knew everyone by name (kinda doubt it), but the reason he could do so was that Gary was in the office or at the construction sites working, making this place what it is today. Did he and the family get rich doing it? Hell yes, and they deserved it. I hope they make millions and millions and millions more. But The Developer is not responsible for everything one dislikes.
