Month: February 2018

 

…….I went over to Fort Lauderdale High School this morning when I heard that the students were protesting the backward gun laws that allowed a mentally troubled young person to buy a military type assault weapon.

The murderer couldn’t legally buy a beer at 7-eleven, but in twenty minutes, bought a semi automatic weapon that killed seventeen kids in three minutes !

 

 

So I was encouraged by this show of civic conscience from our young people, and went over to thank them for standing up and being counted!

 

 

Some students worried that they might get in trouble, so I walked over and talked to the principal (pictured behind me to the right), and she seemed OK by the protest….

 

…….  The young people were intense, sincere, truly worried for their world –

 

 

Let’s hope this senseless tragedy actually changes things ……

In case you forgot, I am in the middle of a run-off for Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner….

 

 

 

And the  one thing that I have been reminded of about politics  is the Latin root of the word –   …………….   POLI …… meaning many, ………..  and ……………. TICS ……  meaning blood sucking insects !!

 

Yes, it can be a rough and tumble business, this politics, here is just one example … The signs you see littered about for we candidates are not cheap ( about 4 bucks each) so when I realized that at least half of the 400 signs I’ve purchased had been stolen, I had to think of something !

 

 

Goop …!      ……This sign ( all my signs only go on private property, with the permission of the owner), has seldom lasted a week, so I brought out the good old  goop,….

 

 

 

I glued it six ways from Sunday, and finally to the iron pole beside it  🙂

It will probably be gone tomorrow ……….

PS   …. Please send me some money so I can buy more signs 🙂
