Dear Joseph,

Maybe, my friend, maybe there is a God...

Thank you for the update and the inside information. The machinations of ill-advised, vested interest folks are fascinating and often underhanded and deadly. Bottom-line politics sucks! Caring for the citizens seems to go by the wayside. Compassion, love and forgiveness is needed, desperately! Where is the Holy Ghost when he is most needed? Don't folks know that it's harder to get a rich man into heaven than it is to thread a Model T Ford through the eye of a needle? Are we to abandon the health and welfare of the folks in this area for a paltry few dollars?

God Bless you, my friend. Your vigilance is outstanding. Your ferreting out of uncaring folks is perspicacious. I hope someone is listening to you and your fellow crusaders for Truth and Charity. May you all have good health and perserverance, despite what the self-centred idiots are trying to do. We're all in this life and bailywick together. The least we can do for our fellow man is share the load, not letting the impoverished and hungry fall through the cracks made by some misdirected rotten apples who are hoarding all the gold, frankincense and myrrh for themselves.

Take care of yourself, my friend. It looks like you'll need a heap of energy to stay on watch.

Sincerely,

Izzy.
