ENOUGH!

I never saw it myself, maybe it never made it to the UK, but back in the 1970's, there was a movie entitled Network in which a network news anchor played by William Holden urged everyone to open their windows and shout, I'm mad as hell and I won't take it any more!

I thought about that phrase last night when I was driving home from an enlightening dinner with our attorney. We had been discussing the way in which the Town of Brookhaven has been stonewalling our legitimate application to put up a church building and what our next moves need to be to encourage them to do what the U.S. Constitution and Federal Law require. It's a sad day when law-makers have no respect for the law.

So here's my point. How long do we sit around and complain about them? Have unscrupuloua people taken charge of local government because people with principles have refused to get involved? Is this a problem of their making or just the result of our own passivity? How long do we continue to hold on to the victim mentality?

Maybe it's time for us to go to our windows, open them wide and shout - I'm mad as hell and I won't take it any more!

And in case you think this is just talk, watch this space. We're putting together a major plan to have Christian influence and values guiding the Town of Brookhaven. Lincoln declared that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth - successive local politicians have certainly banished it, but it needs to be brought back as our democratic right.

More later - but enough is enough - it's over!
