In no way "arguing" with you, but do you honestly believe that people who ask questions, or analyze an issue at any level, local, state, federal, are wasting their short life ? Isn't it part of our responsibility as citizens, even as human beings, to be concerned, pay attention, guard this great gift of a democratic republic ? I don't see a single word in the above that would make you think the writer (and no, I have no idea who the writer is) "love to fight" ? This is just one small local community, but to consider life "too short" to guard our most precious gift, by doing the home work, the hard work, of NOT just "zoning out" because after all, we're just a bunch of old people so hey, just have fun. No, think there is more that must make you think because a person is cognitively aware of what is going on in their community, that they are "unhappy" and should just "move out". ??? Just what ? at 60, 70, 80 just give up and sell, move, find a new community ? Humm ? Pretty tough emotionally on seniors. Perhaps, it's better to keep an active interest in the world around you, ask questions, DIG for the facts, don't settle for the surface "chatter" ? Just saying..
