Looks like enough voters believe Boyd to have put him in office. As
they also did for Trump. That speaks to our twisted belief regarding
Freedom of Speech. We have allowed our communication channels, both
public and private, both entertainment and educational,to be corrupted
by the powerful Corporate Oligarchy that now rules America.
While Wordsmiths have always been around, the development of radio,
followed by TV and the Internet, have opened our doors and windows to
all the slick talkers on Madison Avenue. From early childhood we plop
our young in front of the TV,
snuggled right close to the Spin Doctors, and we buy them the games
and toys that reinforce attitudes that we would never have welcomed
into our family.
And here's the real joke. We allow "equal time" to the attitudes and
views of the corporate chiefs
giving them equal time, when they already control the entire Media.
But that doesn't make it right, nor does it make their attitudes and
social systems good for America. Although at the moment we are losing
the fight, we still have strength in numbers.

Subject: [blind-democracy] and the people elected this bozo
And to think that the People of Colorado City, Texas elected this lazy,
selfish excuse of a human being to run their city's government.
And buy the way, isn't the good mayor advocating Anarchism?

Tim Boyd, the mayor of Colorado City, Texas, put on Facebook: “The City and
County, along with power providers or any other service owes you NOTHING!
I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout!... If you are
sitting at home in the cold because you have no power and are sitting there
waiting for someone to come rescue you because your lazy is direct result of
your raising! [sic]…. This is sadly a product of a socialist government
where they feed people to believe that the FEW will work and others will
become dependent for handouts…. I’ll be damned if I’m going to provide for
anyone that is capable of doing it themselves!... Bottom line quit crying
and looking for a handout! Get off your ass and take care of your own
family!”
“Only the strong
will survive and the weak will parish [sic],” he said.
After an outcry, Boyd resigned.
