Re: What's wrong in TV
I hate that Democrats cannot have a fund raiser here -- they can never get a room for that purpose. A meeting room, yes, but not one large enough for any real purpose yet the Republicans use the town squares and Savannah Center. But, then, I do understand that the Morses are serious Republicans, have donated large sums to that party, and are friends with the major politicos and they do have a right to protect their interests as they see fit. I also understand that this is a vastly conservative and Republican enclave. I would like to hear and see the politicians for each side. That, for me, is a major complaint.
Let's see, the golf cart path north of 466 are truly awful -- bumpy and narrow.
I don't think I've seen such lousy drivers anywhere in the world. It is definitely a community where you need to drive very defensively.
In general, I'm not a big fan of the Morses. I don't mind that they're rich. They've earned their money. I do mind that they give the impression of being greedy (the penalties if a property doesn't close in time, their refusal to negotiate, their refusal to have closed captioning on the local TV station).
I miss the buffalo. I understand the Morses have a right to do what they want with their land. I understand that people were refusng to be safe. Nonetheless, I miss them.
I really don't understand why we have to use clear plastic bags for recycling, why we can't have bins like the majority of the country. I'm not a big fan of plastic bags in general. Why do we have to put lawn refuse in huge paper bags? If you're going to require special bags, why don't you provide them rather than requiring your customers to buy them?
I never thought I'd say I'm sick of oldies but I'm sick of the oldies from the 50s and 60s. I want to hear more from the 70s and 80s. Give me some Eagles, John Cougar, Springsteen, Mayall, et al. in the Squares and on the radio. I'd love to hear more variety in the squares rather than just on occasion.
Okay, that's all the gripes I can think of right now. All in all, the good far outweighs the bad and what is bad is mini-bad (more of an irritant than something to stop me from wanting to be here). Hope this helps you a little.
