A Joke Taken Too Seriously
You guys might of heard about that 'Abandon Rutland' Petition I wrote up a few weeks back. If you haven't heres a link,
(http://www.petitiononline.com/jaysidea/petition.html)
check it out real quick.
Well it got a lot of attention, Some Good some Bad. But I noticed most bad was from hardcore anti-liberal Right Wing rednecks who have never lived outside of Vermont and have been born and raised in Rutland. I have nothing against Republicans or conservative or anyone who's a resident from Rutland (I'm prejudice about Rednecks though, Their stupid) but you have to take into consideration some of the points and views I brought up in that petition.
Yes Rutland has ALOT of problems, more than any other VT town that I know of. I started my petition as a joke because I hate Rutland. I lived there for around 10 years...it sucks. It's absolute hell there. Theres nothing for youth to do. I'm not exaggerating either. Ask some kids from there and you'll get similar responses about the place. But my petition also can serve as a notice that people have realized the place needs help on some issues. Now I use it (my Petition) for primarily that purpose.
I laugh a little to myself when I read some of things people say about my petition. I don't laugh at the people who wright about it, I just think its a little comical when a joke is taken serious. It was never meant to be taken seriously but if people want to argue about it and debate about Rutland City's issues I think that's great. My idea to 'Abandon Rutland' is completely Radical and unrealistic. It stimulated a few people and made them think about how to help and hopefully they will start to help there City.
I wasn't born here, I couldn't care less about this State. But hopefully when there older and can vote, they will vote for someone who will fix Rutland's big problems. Instead of a mayor that leaves everything as is. That's in my eyes its worst problem.
