First, the governmental structure of The Villages was modeled after Orlando's hometown business, DisneyWorld. Virtually all of the criticisms of TV that the columnist cites also apply to the residential portion of DisneyWorld...the town of Celebration. But do you think this writer would get into his editor's office very far with an article critical of Disney? Hah!

Secondly, when the annual resident surveys indicate year after year that 95% of the residents of TV are happy with the place and would heartily recommend living here to family and friends, what does that say about the place? Are we all so stupid and brainwashed by the enjoyment of living here that we need some guy from Orlando to point out the errors of our mental capabilities? Double Hah!

I've stopped watching the local TV news out of Orlando. It's a continuous string of murders, rapes, robberies, governmental malfeasance, traffic jams and on and on. It seems to me that the columnist from the Sentinal has plenty to write about in his hometown without worrying about us.
