Brattleboro,Vermont Selectboard Un-Candidacy #17

     My next contribution to the people of Brattleboro was to ask the people and the town manager presenting a proposal that Brattleboro signed onto a Charter for Compassion a question.It seemed odd signing onto endorsing a human trait because people had the right to not be compassionate if that was their individual pursuit of happiness. Let the individual, the people, decide what they wanted to be, not the town. Also, the charter was strange because Brattleboro is already the most compassionate town in the U.S. of A.
     Knowing how crazy it is becoming on the campuses, and that writing a critical review in a journal had cost Professor Laura Kipnis at Northwestern a hateful charge of creating a "hostile enviroment from some psychopaths using Title IX and also knowing that on some campuses criticism was ludicrously being yelled at as "violence" by other paranoid hysterics, I ask if the Charter for Compassion encouraged dissent. This question was met by a long pause until the town manager assured me that dissent was a part of democracy. At least, he wasn't a crazy. I thanked him with a thumb's up.
     But it got worse, much worse, and that is why I referred to this meeting as an ethical hell. Not only were we going to see a road unnecessarily widened and businesses and jobs lost as a result - as the Venezuelan pig farmer said, "They're not interested in people and the products people have to make to live, but socialism" - we were going to see one race favored over another. It happened with David Schoales delivering a gratuitous speech at almost ten o'clock at night, almost four hours after the meeting started. It was much too late for showboating, but that's what we got from Mr. Schoales. He wanted special outreach for Race A to make sure they got town government job opening ads. He also said that the town had to hire a cop from Race A to show children from Race A that they could become cops too as if you can't turn on the TV and see Race A cops all over the screen.
     Some people in the audience who were still remaining got excited about Mr. Shoale's speech. I was horrifed, just horrified- to use the language of the hysterical-  that he could be so racist! He wanted to advertise and hire in discrimination of Races X,Y, and Z. That's wrong and illegal! But I did not plan a rebuttal as it was too late at night. I could see the woman next to me was getting excited. She said she was going to say something. I whispered
back, "It's 10 o'clock!"
     "I don't care."
     "Oh, my god!" I moaned.
     When Mr. Scholaes finished showboating, I shook my head no while other applauded. The lady next to me got up, but she was short: She said her father was the first person of Race A to be born in Brattleboro. TO BE CONTINUED
