Default Re: Liesureville

I am in the middle of reading Leisureville and I really take exception to the author's implication that because we want to live in a community of our peers, and don't particularly want to be surrounded by children all the time, and we want our tax dollars to take care of the upkeep of our roads etc., we are selfish and non caring thoughtless people. I wrote a letter and informed the author and the reviewer that this was not the case. We all love our grandchildren and love turning them over back to their parents, and while we are community minded and volunteer and support education we have worked hard most of our lives, raised our own children, and are now entitled to a quiet, relaxed, lifestyle doing what we want and helping how we want. I feel we have earned our Utopia and no one should begrudge us our TV. I also told the, that one day, God willing, they would grow older and I bet their feelings will change dramaticaly then. And I don't even live in TV yet. But will one day, soon, if Saint Joseph gets busy and does his thing.
