Thank you Chuck and Barbara for continuing your valuable work to provide our community with the BBQ, which has now grown into what Chuck imagined it could be; a village green where anyone is free to share, announce, advocate, persuade, dissuade, advise, report on and opine about local and global events. This venue for expression is unique and anyone who visits it regularly can take the pulse of our tri-city community and find out “what’s going on”.
Regarding discord from “political” discourse, I would say that almost anything can be considered political. It is just a word basket we throw ideas and opinions into w’ed rather not discuss for fear of exposure to new ideas, vested interests and egos; heated emotions. Policy. That’s what politics is. Shared ideas and information result in policies whether in the family, the city or the nation. Once they are “written”, policies can take on a life of their own and history has shown it’s worth everyone’s time to hammer them out, as in, beat it from one side, flip it over and beat it some more. The idea is to explore options, gather information and try on opposing perspectives.
On that note, I will throw out an opinion, my own, and it is definitely political.
It has got to be obvious that whoever, whatever one considers the Democratic Party Controllers to be, they have gambled and already lost with the present administration. Not a single poll will show President Biden wining against Trump in November. And, I don’t think anyone on their bench will do any better. That boat is on the rocks so in my opinion, anyone who would prefer Trump NOT become our next president, consider the logic and wisdom of this really being as a two way race between Trump and Bobby Kennedy. A 20,000+ person pool gave Kennedy the edge, if it were between the two. Like Bobby Dylan says, ” You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”.
This is a worthwhile essay about words, public dialog and shaping views, thus policy. It’s not that long.

Because of the ubiquitous cameras and speed of sharing information, visual, audio, written…all of it, we really don’t have to wait for the “news” broadcast, ( with all that darn sliding, shifting graphics in the background as an added distraction),
to find out what really happens. The many ‘public squares’, not unlike our own BBQ, will slice and dice an event so fast, winnowing out the chaff from the facts, we don’t have to wait for the “Official Report.
The compilation presented below is a case in point.

Thanks again Chuck and Barb.
