By Bill Connell.
Democracy was at work Saturday, April 5, at the Municipal Gazebo with the “Hands Off” rally. They had a fairly decent attendance despite the yucky weather. We are in truly unusual times. I also know after last week’s stock market performance, I will be working till I’m 90 years old.
While watching the rally, a thought crossed my mind: Political Parties are like people who are standing around waiting for AAA to change a flat tire, instead of just doing it themselves, maybe getting greasy, and saving time. In this metaphor, AAA is elections. Could you imagine if state Assemblyman Joe Danielsen asked for a meeting with the President of the United States and maybe get a seat at the table and control the outcome that way? He would be tarred and feathered by his own Party. This image amuses me and I would pay money to see it, but I would rather him take a unique approach and be successful, not just be a Party hack.
