Hospital Merger Documents Withheld

Yes but those toll booths accept cash.

Jeanne, it looks like you're the one who just got their last nerve shredded.

If you're just going to regurgitate the spider web of deceit from the PEC/York-appointee pseudo-anonymous slam site, I'd rather not play. Do I REALLY need to go back and post the links to both threads where we previously discussed Roma Dawson (and what a campaign treasurer does, and how long she's been here, and what her lawsuit was about, and when it was filed....), or Randy Minchew and his affilitations and credentials? This really is like 50 First Dates, but on badly miscalibrated meds.

No, you can't have my e-mail. My choice, and I choose no. Let's go ahead and continue to discuss in the open. Would you feel better if I was not answering your missives here in the open?

As for #8, "be kind": shall I follow these latest examples of yours? I think not, regardless of AFGM's puzzlingly pointless repetitions of my posts, with the implied teaching moment that I've learned to write a paragraph from your renditions. Gee, that wouldn't be condescending of him though, would it? Especially when your latest offering was so sensible and temperate.

One of my pet peeves is the direction of most service to the private toll road, and it is a hard point to get around.

I have yet to go and speak against BRMC, but you agitprop folks are making it tempting. And Jeanne, it still isn't about the South Riding HOA. Why don't you go to the BoS and make your inaccurate accusations there? I want to watch their faces when you say "I live in Broadlands and I'm here to complain about the South Riding HOA..." how about it?

While I realize that talking about BRMC & LHI is partisan. Can we leave other political partisanship, nane calling and mud-slinging from either side out of it??

Thanks !!

Who cares about having to pay for a toll road when you have to pay for parking at most hospitals anyway?

 

Barbara,

Can you please look up agitprop for me? [?]

I have to confess that is way above my vocabulary level, and I don't have the time to look into it.

You're starting to sound like Donna just before she imploded from truth.

 

It means the following:
Political propaganda, especially favoring communism and disseminated through literature, drama, art, or music

So it's use in this forum would be an incorrect usage.

 

Really!! That's what it means! That is absolutely hilarious. LOL

 

Something was incorrectly used in this forum? No way!! That doesn't happen around here

 

AFGM: re "agitprop". The name does, as Maeve says, come from agitation propaganda. I feel it accurately describes the formulaic redundancy of methodology in using each new thread to return to selected portions of semi-truthful information as if they were new, accurate and crucial.

The restatements of the selective arguments of the committed pro-BRMC activists on the site could broadly be called literature, are sometimes argued as if they were art, and have on recent occasion been full of quite theatrical drama. At the county level, if we have people appearing in uniform (or costume), we have certainly witnessed the drama of political theatre.

The evolution of "smart" growth is part of the evolution of collectivism, or "communitarianism" as it is currently being touted by the Communitarian Institute of George Washington University. The communitarian or collectivist position contains all of the language used to discuss "smart" growth, which itself is rarely defined.

In documents referenced in other threads here, the architects of the smart growth Comp Plan state that facilities "will be directed to the areas where growth is desired." Conversely, facilities will be discouraged where growth is not desired--apparently whether there are people there or not. It is apparent when studying the positions of smart growth in Loudoun that the only area where growth is desired is on the Greenway. I have a copy of comments posted to the LTM during the Comp Plan hearings by a VSS activist who actually stated that we needed a plan that rewarded people for making the right choices, and made those who did not pay the consequences. Who determines the "right" choices? What are the consequences?

Those of us who have chosen to live in the structure of an HOA have freely chosen to abrogate some of our individual rights for the sake of a common goal--most notably in covenant standards. However, no one prevented us from choosing to live in these communities.

Since it is not legal to mandate the choices people make, the only option for those who would like to mandate those choices are to limit the feasibility of any supposedly undesirable choice out there--like making it too expensive to buy a home, too difficult to drive around, or too diffficult to access service.

How does limiting all service to the Greenway adequately respond to those members of the County community who vote, pay taxes, and yet do not choose to live in a carless-community hi-rise in "downtown Loudoun"?

I happen to believe that smart growth as practiced, as opposed to the feel-good sounding phrase, is in fact a collectivist philosophy. As such, I tend to view certain styles of activism as agitprop. Whether it is appropriate to the forum may fall under a style question, as opposed to content.
