Dr. Spirit is Rugged Individualist. Live in Cave. Not need Illusory Pride of Collectivist 'Community.'
Dr. Spiritofpublicus of OTBL not like community. Is better off in cave by himself.
Says: "The earmarks of local political campaigns, including contested school board races, are worn out slogans such as: 'making our community stronger', 'making our community better'. The assertion is clear: individuals will benefit when they identify with a group. And in order to receive the benefits of this group one must continually forfeit their personal wealth and individual freedoms. The type of benefit which is often hyped is the one where the relationship between individual sacrifice 'for the good of the community' and the benefit to the individual becomes suspect under close examination. Often, the only benefit is an illusionary pride. "

program own computer operating system.
Dr. Spirit know all.
It's good to hear Dr. Spirit complaining about not getting his way. It's like the lynch mob complaining when their target ends up lynching one of them. It's like the school yard bully getting his ass kicked. The steam is running out of the OTBL school board election fantasies. However, keep an eye on any referrendum. It's pretty easy to get people to get out and vote for their pocketbook. It's much harder to get people out to vote for an elected representative.
