What happens when we trade the cow for some magic beans
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:58 am
I will be using this thread to underline what happens when a community either becomes
disengaged or turns their day to day running etc over to groups peddling promises,
dreams, snake oil and little more. Then build themselves up through lies, mistruths,
smoke and mirrors, while they really have no plan to stay in the mess they are creating.
How they are able to gut the government, the schools, destroy the non-profits, and
generally screw up things so bad they can never be fixed all in the name of "tomorrow
will be better."
It is also fascinating at how long cities and government are willing to let these hucksters go.
Stay tuned.
Real world examples from around the country, that we can apply to our city.
