Thank you Glenn Mitchell. I picked up my Morning Star and read your ‘Ready or not, here we go’ column of Oct. 25. You nailed it.
This election turned into a nasty mud-slinging personal attack that just wore us all out and reaffirmed that the public (us) are not so easily led.
Some of our politicians need to be reminded that they serve, they don’t rule. It’s a bit of a sticking point, I suppose, for some.
It strikes me too, that many people who become politicians at some point, whether they started out that way or not, suddenly become immeasurably wiser than the rest of us.
Arrogance and abuse of power will only last so long. Those of us in the trenches of day-to-day living, tragedy and taxes will eventually have our say.
Thanks for a great article Glenn, I’m framing it as a reminder that we’ve got good people in the local press willing to step up and tell it like it is.
