Keith says; Machines are not a living thing; they do not die. That some people posted a strawman, of DFL Death, was just for ease of knockdown. The Machine is functioning adequately. It has triumphed, so far, over provincial grassroots effort to effect change in the 3rd Ward.
It is said that nuts do not roll far from the tree. Many contenders in the primary identified as Machine candidates, even without Machine support for them, or their neighborhood welfare. Is it possible to be addicted to a Machine, Vanessa? How much trauma is needed to quit, for good? Dyna barricaded her doors while the Machine ruled her homelife choices; yet still cheers the Machine's choice. Did a Machine recognize, DFL identifying, Mr. Samuels and his efforts at community building, and reward him with Machine-made support? No! I guess I will need to ask Shane Price, and Natalie Johnson-Lee, what it ultimately requires to walk away from the machine. Is cleared vision race related? Has anyone else felt like Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man"? It is a healthy exercise, I imagine, to ' walk ' . Gary Hoover should be proud that Megan Thomas described Natalie Johnson-Lee's "run" to the Green Party, or was it FROM a Machine? A sprint indicates a healthy body; the realignment indicates a healthy mind. Shane and Natalie are invisible no longer; if you are not blinded by a Machine. In the 3rd Ward: Which candidate took risks for his community long before electioneering time? (A: DS) Which candidate, in final victory in the 3rd Ward, will be beholden to a Machine? (A: OM). Which candidate will do a better job over all? (A: Frankly, I am still doing some research) Keith Reitman NearNorth In a message dated 1/1/03 8:33:07 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > Warmest Greeting's List: > > Happy New Year!!, May you all have a very safe, happy and promising New > year. > > Well, it seems to me and judging by the numbers (531) that the DFL is ALIVE, > > KICKING and WELL, not only that, voters also spoke with "their" power of > voting that a "DFL ENDORSED" candidate is a power to be reckon with.
