Brattleboro, Vt. Selectboard Un-Candidate #35

     Dear Future Constituents,
     You may know I have been very worried about you young people, their parents, friends, and community regarding the college kangaroo trials. In case you don't watch Fox News, the young man accused by the Columbia University mattress girl has just settled with Columbia on civil charges that Columbia was biased against him. Betsy DeVos is reviewing these wholly unjust, un-Western kangaroo courts. Let's hope she hasn't been neutered by the howl of demeaning things said about her by the leftists when she was nominated for Secretary of Education. For the record, I am an individualist and belong to the Evedentist Party - ''Show me the evidence." Beginning with the next sentence, I want you to read what I sent the Wall Street Journal about Title lX being Obama's Trojan Horse for Sharia Law, and since it hasn't appeared in the WSJ, here we go!
     Barack Obama may have the last laugh with the Affordable Care Act, but he has also left behind Trojan horses filled with Sharia soldiers on American campuses. He has done this through his "Dear Colleagues" letter and his man-eating, feminist Title IX Coordinators. Obama has created, by using fundamentalist Islamic, and therefore, berserk ideas about human beings, a terrifying and simplistic delusional system. University students are being ruled by these delusions and becoming increasingly habituated to them. These ideas include: the college campus is a rape culture; all men are by nature rapists ...TO BE CONTINUED. In the meantime, may you be healthy, prosperous, strong, and evidence- seeking. It's a hard world. Good luck! Peter Nickerson, 352-359-0858

Vermont Selectboard Un-Candidate #34

     Kate O'Connor introduced the panhandling issue by saying we were not to discuss "spin-offs," and we were to be" compassionate". I should have asked her to define spin-offs and compassion as I, as a literalist, felt shutdown. For example, the crazy college children and their crazy-makers -university professors and administrators- claim that any views different from theirs are "violence." What then does "compassionate" mean here in Brattleboro?
     The chief of police suggested a team consisting of a cop and a social worker approach each beggar and try to find out why she is begging. Then the team will suggest options to panhandling to get what she wants. This is not to be intimidation, and I hope it remains that way. I see the main problems of beggars as addiction, poverty, and mental/emotional problems and believe in re-opening the state mental hospitals which were ostensibly closed because of hysteria that they were "warehouses of people." I wonder if their closings were a scheme of the Republicans to have the government spend less money so taxes could go down and government could get smaller. Forget the mentally ill and the addicted!
     Groundworks made a survey of eight beggars out of eleven contacted and found they were only making twenty dollars a day. Kate has promised future discussions about panhandling.

Brattleboro Selectboard Un-Candidate #33

     I've asked where Betty DeVos is with allowing the Title IX college kangaroo courts to persist. Apparently, she is hors de combat from the leftist hissy fit over her nomination to the Secretary of Education job, and any hope of strength and morality will have to come from the acting head of the Office of Civil Rights, Candice Jackson. She has reversed a secret decision by her man-hating predecessor, Catherine Lhamon, who ordered that whenever an accuser appealed a finding of not guilty (that can't be - all men are rapists!) the school where that appeal took place would have all its previous sexual assault cases reviewed to make sure that as many men got found guilty as possible. In other words, double, triple, and on and on, jeopardy.
     Just like the seventy-two year old man in 1692 Salem was pressed to death with stones because he was accused by "the girls" of being a witch because five of the girls -the core accusers in Salem- saw him riding his dog in the sky. As soon as he admitted his guilt, the rocks would be taken off. This man, as fate would have it, was an extremely rare individual. He had never felt frightened in his life so he endured the torture of barely being able to breathe under the stones for three days until he physically weakened and was suffocated by the weight on his chest. The judge was counting on the old man becoming terrified and "confessing." The old man didn't do terrified. Imagine that! Should have been a Seal. The godly Puritans gave him four pieces of the worst bread they had on the first day, and on the second, he got three handfuls of water from a puddle. All in the name of righteousness! The dog was summarily shot for being a witch. You wouldn't dare not believe the child, would you? You wouldn't dare not believe the victim, would you? Are you sane or sumpthin? Just keeping slouching down to Gomorrah, comrade.
     Hot on the trail of witches dancing in their empty heads, thirty-four Democrat senators have sent a letter to the Department of Education protesting not digging up old hearings to see if there isn't some way to declare male teenagers and young men guilty of sexual assault so they can be kicked out of school, be labeled sex perverts, and never get into another college or have a job. This is America? I think it is a precursor to Sharia, which is why Obama pushed it on us, and I think it is why, though abhorrent to Western civilization and to American ideals specifically, the college kangaroo courts are sticking around. They have a lot of despicable, but extremely powerful, supporters. I hope to develop this more with you.

     I called the town's garbage collector, Triple T, and found that our plastic bags do not end up in the ocean, contributing to outnumber the fishes. No such drama. Sorry. Instead, the bags go to either of two landfills, one in Vermont, and the other in New Hampshire or they go to an incinerator. They are not recycled because they are too light for the Triple T machinery. We could ask Triple T if they can afford to purchase that equipment or we could try another garbage collection. That addresses Kate O'Connor's objection to plastic bags.
     David Scholes' objection was about the bad things that went on in the production of plastic bags. Pending finding out about hideous things going on, I going to say that all production has its costs. Producing reusable bags has its costs too.
     I've also heard from a school administrator that there is a damning film about plastic bags that students must see year after year. If this is a brainwashing thing, I don't know if facts and logic make any difference. If facts and logic do contribute to your sacred feelings, then I would be against this totalitarian ban.
