@itouchu That's really quite something. Hopefully it doesn't become something greater.
I remember standing in the fields down by the James River as my dad explained to me that the UN was proposing a new law where (IIIRC) essentially land owners would forfeit their land rights for some "market" value and the local government could build subdivisions on their land.
Our municipality eventually rejected this idea. I'm not entirely sure why, a single person (or maybe their family, that was never clear to me) owned most of the land.
The world would be better without the UN.
@itouchu I'm not convinced, there were reasonable arguments against the UN before.
The masses were asleep. There has been a revolution in the last 5 years. Let's watch it play out.
@itouchu Perhaps my understanding of "the masses" is different from yours.
I've wandered around Richmond at 2:00AM and grew up in the middle of Virginia and my understanding of people is pretty different from that. They know what's going on, they're just waiting.
The only thing that remotely matches that is the place I've lived the past year;Fairfax. That's an odd place anyway though and doesn't represent the country or the state.
I lived in Fairfax for 30 years before moving to NC. I know what you mean about it being odd and not representing the country. People like the Fairfax citizens are whom I am talking about. They are the masses who have been asleep and comfortable for so long. Not so much anymore. Their beliefs are being shaken every day in every way. It's hard to refute what is happening right in front of their eyes. The rest of us - we're just waiting for them to catch up.
@itouchu I've always thought it would be better if they left Virginia, maybe joining Maryland or DC.
@itouchu It's a shame though, I came here because I loved how well the county seemed to be run. Unlike Goochland they had public transit and things actually seemed to be built here.
@swiley
I expect that the UN's days are numbered. If the DS goes down, (and it will), the UN is done. It has been a boondoggle since its inception. Talk about pedos!
