Re: [Mpls] We elected them - let them govern

[Annie Young]

Well, I had to look up contumely (My dictionary says:  insulting words or 
actions,  humiliating treatment; A humiliating insult.  Well,  then I must 
say, "that in the internal ring of the Park Board I would have to say 
contumely is a very clear description of what is going on these days."

Thank goodness, the citizenry to whom we serve are being curious, 
supportive, questioning, doubting, very concerned and I still am waiting 
for some one out there to have the answer to the 5-4 voting dilemma facing 
trying to change anything for the better. There appears to not be a swing 
anywhere on that 5 side.  I hope I am proven wrong by Jan. 2nd.

WM: I would contest this point. People are elected to be of service to the 
interests of their constituents, this does not make them servants in the 
traditional sense that kings, queens, and wealthy people may have 
servants. I sincerely hope that no one is treating them with the contumely 
that servants are often treated.
