Darn, I was going to just stay out of this now and move on to other things in my life but it is hard to ignore distortions. The facts of the settlement are well documented and after hearing all the "Facts" the court ruled. That is the American way of life. I don't think anyone who moved to The Villages suggests they want to leave but that does not remove the right to representative government which is the "foundation" of the American system and what many have fought and died for. Does anyone really believe it is the right system to give the Developer (a good or bad one) a life time ability to rule over 100,000 residents without a solid check and balance. Our fore fathers thought a check and balance system was significant enough to establish the American form of government which is based on a Judicial, Executive and Legistative form of government. What makes the governing of the Villages any different in terms of control for the best interests of the residents. Some have given the Developer a sort of "King" form of government. That ultimately failed in England, etc.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lets all pray that those who feel it is in the best interest to give one person the ability to rule their lives comes to their senses and recognize the folly in that form of governing.
