The Flying Machine

I wish I could tell you that this is a joke, but it's not - it was actually published in the DeSoto Sun this morning.

So the tug of war has started in this agricultural-based, Lord-loving community, that for as long as the pioneers can remember has spewed serenity and genuineness. It would be a shame to have friction between the people and government. Stop all the hard-thought processes and feelings that range from anticipation to frustration and breathe deep, while calming ourselves.

Think about the beautiful land, the meandering waterways, clear skies and clean air. Fill yourself up on wonderful thoughts. Do this often to prevent being outraged, as many have expressed themselves as being over these most recent issues before us.

Please try to be fair in your thought process and attempt understanding for each side. Weigh the outcome from that process and come up with your most honest answer.

Whatever you feel, you should be sure to participate in the next county meeting being held on Sept. 26, in the county administration building. Meet with our local governing body, hear their decrees and be prepared to support or defy, because we all are a part of real political action and the action from this step forward will be so meaningful.
