Have the residents of Gloucester County noticed their mail
contents. There is a glossy double sided two page notice from our Freeholders.
It contains an advertisement for “Serving Seniors”, an event planned for
December 3, 4, 10 and 11. The circular is endorsed with group photos of the
Freeholders. This is a well prepared four pages timed for the election to be
held on November 5, 2019. As one of the tax payers I wonder how much this
freeholder advertisement cost while I hope it was paid for with campaign funds
rather than our County’s budget.
There is a book by Ambrose Peirce, titled “The Devil’s
Dictionary”. The author originally titled the work “the Cynic’s Word Book”.
Many words are provided with a cynical definitions and relative poems and
passages.
“Politics, n. A
strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of
public affairs for private advantage.”
“Politician, n. An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the
superstructure of organized society is reared. When he wiggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the Statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.”
How appropriate is the time of our freeholder advertising
themselves.
Just think about the NATIONAL impeachment process, which is definitely a political process. The oppositions to Trump, our President, are the mud flung by the tails of the eels.
