LET’S HAVE CIVIL DISCOURSE

Submitted By: babbles@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
to the BBQ readership,
in response to a particular post on BBQ a few days ago–it was a Heather Cox Richardson “Letter from an American.” HCR is a political historian whose research and analysis i appreciate.
in response, a BBQ subscriber wrote me a particularly loathsome email. i was shocked by his negative, vilifying words.
disagreeing with a person does not make them a narcissist, nor arrogant, nor wrong, nor pathetic, nor a horse’s ass.
no one deserves to be vilified for expressing their political opinion. there is no reason to think that another human being is lesser, or to call them demeaning names, because they have a different political view than you do.
i am not naming him, that would be public shame. if he reads this, perhaps that will be shame enough.
IF YOU CAN’T SAY SOMETHING PUBLICLY, BECAUSE YOU CAN’T DESIST FROM USING DEMEANING, DEGRADING, DISCREDITING WORDS, PLEASE, DON’T SAY IT AT ALL!

Save our wetlands! Support the Appeal!

SAVE OUR WETLANDS! – SUPPORT THE APPEAL!
WEDNESDAY NOV 20TH@6PM:
Please attend the Public Hearing of the Appeal against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development PUD-24. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is encouraging everyone to submit either oral or written testimony expressing opposition to PUD-24. The Public Hearing will occur at Rockaway Beach City Hall, 276 Hwy 101, Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Click here for Agenda and to attend by zoom: corb.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/City-Council-Special-Meeting-Agenda-2024-11-20.pdf
Why is this important?
The Nedonna Marsh is an intact remnant of the original native coast. Within this wild area is a native saltwater marsh, spruce/willow wetlands, and a dune area with many native plants. Coyotes, river otters, beavers, deer, and other wildlife call this area home. Migratory birds use it to rest and refuel. Two streams, Jetty Creek and McMillan Creek, flow through this estuary and into the Nehalem River. The marsh is currently under threat. It is privately owned and part of it is in immediate danger of being developed. If this happens, Oregon will lose this special place forever. We need to stand together and do what we can to protect it.
In July 2024, the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission approved the Nedonna Wave Development, which would allow for a new housing subdivision within the Nedonna Marsh. In response to this approval, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition has submitted an appeal to the Rockaway Beach City Council. Oregon Shores is being represented by the Crag Law Center. To support their efforts, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is starting a letter-writing campaign. We are encouraging everyone to send in comments and letters supporting this appeal. We also think it would be helpful to email the City Council members and express our strong opposition to the proposed construction of homes in the wetland area, as we believe it is unconscionable.
How to submit comments to support the appeal:
Oral public testimony will be heard and written public comments will be accepted at, or prior, to the hearing. If submitting comments prior to the hearing, deliver to the City Hall, or mail them to the Planning Department at P.O. Box 5 Rockaway Beach, OR 97136. You may also email written comments to City Recorder Melissa Thompson at cityrecorder@corb.us. Please use file number #Appeal-24-1 on written comments and include your name, mailing address, and phone number.

In deep appreciation of our community celebration of life for Michael McGinnis. Thank you Tela, Gary, Alicia, and all for each of your contributions. In many of our lives the essence of the ocean keeps returning:

Forever Wild

For Michael McGinnis

I am beginning to listen.
Near the horizon of awareness
attuned to distant sounds,
I am listening to the ocean,
as you have listened.
Welcoming the rise and sweep
of this forever wild, I begin
to let go. Soon, there is space
around my breath, fertile, open,
and boundless, enough
to begin to know the freedom
in compassion. Awakening
in this grace, a joy is given
where the first and last words
often soar, rising out of silence
in celebration and praise,
wild and merciful,
a whole-hearted hallelujah!

“There is a lot of love in this room” Michael Hithe

other side of election

Trump did not win an “overwhelming victory”. His margin in Tillamook County was 49.03% to 47.69%. His margin in the nation was 50.01% to 48.24%. He lost in Oregon 55.2% to 41.05%.
We are left with a nation deeply divided.
Going forward, we should work through our differences with civility and tolerance.
Painting people who voted differently than did in inflammatory terms will do nothing to bring us together and solve our problems.
Big government can mean taking care of one another. Open borders can mean having enough employees to do the dangerous, dirty, and demeaning jobs we have trouble filling, child mutilation is a “scare word” for free choices, forced experimental shots never happened, and all our wars date from 2014 or earlier.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I think the ride we’re embarking on will be one we regret.
Thankfully, elections come around every 2 years. It may not be too late to reverse our course. Let’s temper our future choices with kindness and tolerance.
Respectful discussion is welcome at codger817@gmail.com.
