Can We At Least Admit that last Year didn't live up to expectations. In any 12 step program, the first step to solving a problem is admitting that we have one.
Let's not talk about this being our year. Let's make it our year. There is no time for reflection. This needs to be a year of participation and realization that it is going to take leadership and vision to right our wrong direction.
Don't be afraid to speak your mind and don't be afraid to take sides. We are in a time of change whether we like it or not. There will be no comfort or security, so it is best not to seek it. During times of great change it is best to take bold steps and make decisive decisions. During these times, the timid will be squashed like a bug.
I hope that you will read the two articles below The Hottest Places in Hell & Change the Archaic Law about Public Meeting Notices -- Part 2.
These 2 articles show two important issues that I believe will define The Hound as we head into this new year. None of what I have said in this blog is meant to be antagonistic. My only intentions are to give people information that they just aren't getting anywhere else. If that gets me labelled a troublemaker, then so be it.
I just want Hickory to move forward in a realistically positive direction. If you want to participate, then I am here for you. And I mean that in all sincerity.
P.S. Read Kenneth Haynes solution for downtown that he posted today (12/31/2008) in the Solutions Forum. That is a very intelligent idea.
Thank You and God Bless You this Year
