Over the last couple of weeks I have attended a number of civic group meetings – now I remember why I don’t do that as a matter of course!
Typical – the Alpha Male Dog – showed up and dominated meeting number 1. He apologized for being so dominant, then proceeded to totally monopolize the discussion. Two hours later, the meeting adjourned having accomplished absolutely nothing. Now this is the third time in the last year that I witnessed this. Sorry folks – if you don’t know how to run a meeting, make decisions, and get something done – you will have to continue doing nothing without me!
I can loaf far more productively on my own time! …[protected]
Meeting 2 was an off shoot of meeting 1 … I had hoped this group had decided to splitter and actually move forward on a few serious civic issues. Unfortunately, Alpha Male #2 jumped in and continued with the same B.S. as the first – only worse!
Obviously a fan of FAUX News – he immediately launched on a rant about how Obama was spending $200 Million a day – over a billion dollars total – 40 airplanes – 34 ships – 3500 people – and all the rooms in the Tajh Ma Hal. Heads bobbed in agreement about how the government was totally out of control … and we needed to march on Washington … to take our country back – even if it means exercising our Second Amendment Rights!
At that point, I stirred very uncomfortably in my seat and left for the boys room. Last time I looked it was still a federal crime to advocate the violent overthrow of the elected government – Not me you idiots – Atlanta Federal Prison is not where I want to spent my summers – or winters for that matter.
When I returned the discussion had moved on to the calendar of events for the coming spring. A representative from the “Turkey Federation” … (honest) … had the floor (in full camo, no less) complaining that last years participation in kids day was low due to a conflict with the start of little league baseball season!
Turkey Federation … damn right … them turkeys have rights!
“”The Turkey Federation & FAUX News …. REALLY!”” … beam me up Scotty … there’s no intelligent life on this planet?[/protected]
