Matthew 7:3: And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
I say, that quote from the bible still says a lot on many levels. I said it many times, that during the meeting on Feb 2, of the city council meeting there was rudeness displayed on both sides. These ethic complaints in my opinion have now become a distraction from the very issue that lead us all to these latest incarnations of ethic complaints which in my opinion may end up costing the taxpayers more money, and a waste of time. I'm just waiting for the end result of this three ring circus. This whole think to me smells of retaliatory strikes from both sides of the argument. The reason why I say this not to side with the four council members who decided to ignore the will of the people of ending adding fluoride into our water system. What I am pointing out is that many people of the audience, and at least one other council member was out of line, in making their points during the meeting. Neither the two leading newspapers even made mention of Councilman Whetham's "Real mayor" comment, which to me was just as rude, so why the other two newspapers ignoring that little bit of rudeness? Of course those who filed the complaints against, Downie, Gase, and Kidd deny that their complaints filed had nothing to do with the main argument that lead us to this, Fluoridation. All the while this Ethic three ring circus is being played out, the city's business is being ignored! Wasn't Kidd's intention to do something about the aggressive pan handlers? We heard nothing on that as of yet, or was that just a campaign promise set aside by Kidd? Yes, we have a right and obligation, to point out the flaws of governmental officials, but we should also take a look at ourselves in the mirror, and examine our ethical conduct when we go to these meetings and lend support for a cause we care about. Just something to ponder readers, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
