on all the posts and threads about being "manipulated" and "fed lollipops" and being "sheeple"............................
In my opinion....... ;D........until people stop being manipulated by ANYbody...including panic mongers who see conspiracy in EVERYthing and start usin the minds God gave us to OBJECTIVELY judge according to situations, consequences and repercussions, INDIVIDUALLY, we as a people WILL be "sheeple" whether it is to the "community organizers" OR the supposed "truth seekers".
Yes , they BOTH will try to convince us THEY are right and the other side has some "evil agenda" and is manipulating us to "do their bidding". That "their" side is the "right" side and we are weak-minded idiots if we even consider the "other" side.
We are "weak-minded" if we DON'T! I'm not "weak-minded".......... how bout y'all ?
To use one of the catch-phrases......WAKE UP AMERICA.......and stop being manipulated and stampeded by EITHER side.
AMEN, Pam, and I want to add to that:
STAND UP FOR WHAT AND WHO YOU BELIEVE IN. Don't sit back and let a few people paint a false picture of Elk County for the world. So what, if you make someone mad? If you want your county to become a better place to be, don't let anyone ruin it for you by remaining silent. Silence indicates consent.
The first wise words I have read on here in DAYS!!!! Good job, ladies!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The truth is most people are manipulated by folks like Elk Connected. IF you go in and can make it look like a good thing, people will fall for it. Just take a look at the 2008 election. How many voted for the obamanation?
Give it a rest Steve. I'm not buyin what yall are sellin ::) I personally think it's time for people to speak out and refuse to let the dog and pony domination show yall have goin on hijack this forum any more than it already has. I just gave em a place to do it.
As for Obama......blah.... blah.... blah.........I didnt vote for him.
One more little comment......it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that Patriot and Ross are two of the three (hidden) members LOL....why the lurking for you guys? You actually think it'll let you "ambush" somebody? It's kinda funny.......
Been up since 2:30 am to get Joe off to work...my ass is startin to drag :) Gonna go do somethin else......maybe, maybe not
Pam, maybe the Rapture is coming, I agree with you completely on the 2 above posts. As usual you have the gonads to tell it like it is.
She sure does and I wish more people would do it.

I was thinking that they are the ones trying to manipulate us into thinking like them!! Join their thread, don't start a new one!! LOL- I learned the hard way you have to stand for what you believe in, and what kills them is I know some of what they want to know, but not telling!!! I refuse to put it on the computer and have them twist the words to their liking!! LOL
MrsC- love the last post!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Here is what bothers me the most. I for one do not live in Elk County but own land and a house. I do not feel that I can discuss what is going on in Elk because I am not a full time resident. So to me unless you live there and give to the community you need to stay of out what is going on.
Jane, you pay taxes in Elk County and you come from long time residents of Elk County. You have as much right to have an opinion on where the tax money goes as anyone that lives here. My humble opinion, again.
I for one was interested as perhaps the EK may wish to come to our county. I believe in being informed. Not so sure I am now. I looked at this subject, albeit a hot topic as a potential possibility. I wish more facts as to the background of said company. I wouldn't hire a roofer or a painter of a barn, just cause I know his family....not a good business sense.
Jane I understand your point.
Ready, I didn't know anyone was being hired for anything here. This is a not for profit group with volunteer workers that are trying to do something positive for Elk County. It just happens that most of them come from families that have been in Elk County for generations. IMHO it is a good thing that so many of the present generation are still here instead of off where they could make more money. They are trying to preserve what they had when growing up, the same thing that their parents tried to preserve for them. It is a sorry situation that someone that doesn't know the county is trying to tear it down. That is the way I see it and I have the same right to express my opinion that everyone else has on this forum.
QuoteReady, I didn't know anyone was being hired for anything here.
I appreciated your post AFTER I read the first sentence.
I do believe that ELK KONNECTED LLC 'hired' the Public Square whatever to lead/consult? Now, if I am wrong, then I truly apologize.
It was an anology of having a business and hiring someone who happened to be a family friend, and that turned sour...so ergo, the 'hiring of a roofer' scenario.
Maybe I have that backward...lawday ::)

I am trying to preserve what my granpa taught me, and that's why I am interested in the (back yard poker games) that often happen in rural counties.
Wilma...we come from the same background....live a little! ;)
Don't trust every one that shows you a trinket. In no way am I trying to offend you, however the games are different now.
Duck..what a covertly hostile little arrogant comment that was. If it wasn't mean't to offend, oh well.
oh wow Roma, I will have to respond.
I grew up thinking that all the people that was around me, in our small town was respected and saltworthy.
It wasn't until lately that I realized people aren't what they wanted you to be.
The poker in the backroom reference was to the 'upstanding' young/older men' making deals to make our town good. Well, then the women got involved and all hell broke loose.
What I was trying to convey to Wilma, was "yes...we need to hold on to our roots...however the methods are different then what they were"
And, Why are you answering for Wilma???? She can speak for herself, I thought...Wilma, you and I have seen our indifferences, that doesn't make us bad people.
Roma....I will not be boxed into a rude pidgeon holed societal casche.
now I am ready

would like a little expansion of meaning on these two comments........otherwise I'll take em to mean what I think they mean and then I'll be tellin you what I mean....
