Although a minor point in a post regarding his quest to be a member of
the school board, I can't let one bit of calumny toward his own
neighborhood slide by.  Michael Atherton said:

My response:

Over three YEARS ago, Michael was on the losing end of a proposal to add
pedestrian-level lights to his  neighborhood and mine.  The more distant
that dispute gets, he seems to see higher levels of malevolence that
caused the loss.  Now he says that we "ignore injustice and prejucice."
Just for the record, the acceptance of "injustice and prejudice" is not
the way this neighborhood works, Michael's opinion to the contrary not
withstanding.
