So, I'm "paranoid" and "a fool," eh?

So, the official Green eco-weenie party line is that the St. Marys Citizens' Advisory Board is not the de facto, sub-rosa political arm of the St. Marys EarthKeepers and I'm just a paranoid loon, eh?

I invite the readers attention to the St. Marys Citizens' Advisory Board PSA which ran - unauthorized by city council - in Friday's T&G (top image). Now, compare the wording to the stated goals of the St. MarysEarthKeepers which appear on their site (bottom image). To facilitate your comparison, let me suggest that you click on the top document to expand it, then print it. As you will then readily see, the majority of the bullet points in the PSA are lifted verbatim from "Our Goals" on the St. Mary EarthKeeepers website. Now, in the light of these indisputable, incontrovertible facts, analyse this e-mail from Peggy Hollis, the chair of the St. Marys Citizens' Advisory Board.

As a group we compiled these and unanimously voted to adopt them. Due to what seemed to be an already misunderstood purpose of our Board by a few, we felt it would be helpful to submit a PSA. I had already proposed asking the paper to help us with educating the public with our work, and the Board once again unanimously supported this idea. We plan to continue to ask for PSAs to support our efforts. Again, thank you for your interest. Hope you have a great weekend. Peggy Hollis I've said this before, but I guess it bears repeating for newcomers to my blog. People, you would rather sandpaper a rabid wildcat's rectum inside of a locked phone booth than challenge me to an intellectual pissing contest.
