I'm a little behind, but I couldn't pass this one up. Someone, please, tell me what a 'plague of ambivalence' looks like. I feel like I'm reading Brautigan here.
The unnamed Courier editor gets a point for using for using 'fatuous' in a sentence (albeit a pretty clunky one), but loses it again for failing to note the irony.
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
The Courier editor clearly has no idea what's happens in Dewey-Humboldt. Residents have already figured out that the farm is gone (even though there's a field full of corn) and that some kind of commercial development will appear on the corner.
ReplyDeleteAt issue is that the developer is doing a bait & switch. On one hand Monogram is promising a beautiful marketplace with courtyards, a park and more but on the other hand, the legal entitlements allow for almost anything. When Monogram sells the land to a commercial developer, that new owner will question the original vision and demand the proposition 207 right to develop under legal entitlement. The council will have its hands tied and it's Prescott Valley all over again.
As to the editorial? Just further proof that ignorance wastes good paper.
Fatuous developer/editor, Dewey-Humboldt is for people.
