My take is obviously biased, but from my POV the few hard-core TMers still here seem to live only to make life more difficult, both for themselves and for anyone else in the town, at least whenever possible. All the nonsense about train whistles, south entrances, encouraging everyone to move to VC, skimming $$ off of the school tuition, etc, all have as a common theme attempting to put the needs of a favored few above anyone else's, and to heck with common sense, or even laws. Instead of trying to add to the nice atmosphere, they try to create isolation and use magical thinking as a substitute for any creative or lasting solutions. Since there's no way they can stop the onslaught of spirituality that's come here, they simply pretend it doesn't exist. At least they're not taking down license plate #s or calling up employers anymore. Wouldn't be much point to that since most everyone's been banned anyway. Sal
