I done lost my mind

So there has been this ongoing debate over some things that have been going on in my city as of late and some people just went and done pisseded me off.
I have been very vehemently opposed to this new ordinance that the city council passed - um, without a vote of the people - and some people have been retarded enough to say things like "if you don't like it here, move". OK, fucktard. Then someone made a comment about the bridge being out STILL and some other jackass made a comment like "so, go around" to which someone replied there was a sign placed by the CITY on the alternate route that you could NOT use that street either and they were rightly irritated by this so yet another Bertha Better Than You said "The city cannot do anything you approve of huh????"

RIDICULOUS. YES. SOME OF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIDIULOUS and I seriously wonder how you make it through a day in Leave it to Beaver Land. I am SO happy that you have no issues whatsoever with this ever so lovely little burg we all call home. I cannot believe that you think it's OK that we have potholes the size of a small village. I cannot believe you think it's OK that our own fire department broke a flippin' bridge. I cannot believe you think it's OK that NOTHING has been done to fix it at all. I cannot believe you think it's OK that there's actually a sign up on Oklahoma that says traffic from Randolph is NOT ALLOWED on Oklahoma - yeah, there really is, so NO YOU CAN'T GO A DIFFERENT WAY. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????? You say go do something about it. What are we supposed to do? We're apparently not allowed to freakin' VOTE on these things - things are decided FOR us, not BY us. Then when we say we don't like it, we get called complainers. CRIPES.
So tell me please, what shall we DO about the potholes, the bridge, and various other things we are unhappy about? I watch the council meetings. I watch people go up there and talk and I watch the mayor say things like, "Well, I hear what you're saying Mr. So and So and we'll take that under advisement" in their condescending tone. Yeah, people will jump right on that.
We live here because of things we obviously like or even love, but we DO have the right to talk about the things we don't like. If you don't want to hear it, don't listen or don't read it. You have the right to respond, too. But you know what. You DO not have the right to tell us we should move if we don't like it or that we need to shut up about it. You do not have the right to tell us we're wrong because we're voicing our concerns for our community. If you are happy with the fact that your city government is running smack over you, good for you. Sit back and let it happen. But do not tell us we should.
Some of you asshats make me want to shoot myself in the face.

As Mr. Bill was fond of saying, "I feel your pain." Then again Ole Willie J was then just as likely to try to feel whatever else came to hand... [sniffle] God Bless the former President.

Anyway over here in Eastern Oklahoma we too have problems. For years we had city and county government that was run by professionals and the elected people were figureheads. Well ok, that's still mostly the case. But we also had a bunch of crazy ass people protesting and holding up signs that said the world would end tomorrow. It never made sense, but we could tell they were freakin nuts!

You know what? The crazies actually got more support than the professional government people. They even got one of them elected Mayor (figurehead position) but in the midst of all the looniness they cleaned house on the city government and brought in a new City Manager that does his freakin job! (no you can't have him.)

So while it seems like pointless rambling, I am in full support of your rants, rages and willingness to call your fellow citizens "asshats". One day in the future, you too may be looked back upon as people think, "Holy crap! Letting the lunatics run the asylum really freakin worked!
