Rodney just might have been right...and I'm not talking Dangerfield.

In a conversation with someone that happens to be a fairly new renter, he made some observations that really puts Century Village in a bad light. He stated that he moved in not realizing how political our village has become. The hostilities between the two sides has made it clear that he will move once his lease is up and would NEVER consider buying here.
That is the consequence of the childish stupidity of these constant battles. The constant knives thrown at it other. Rodney King was made a punchline on the late night talk show circuit after his "Why can't we all just get along?" comment. Punchline or not, the words ring true. Why CAN'T we all just get along?
All this hostility just because one personality doesn't like another.
Get a grip. try to put the personalities aside and do something that the village needs. Work together.
Stop the frivolous lawsuits, stop the childish rhetoric, extend an olive branch instead of a knife.
If you can't, then maybe you should consider finding an alternative living situation, because it won't get better until you do.

Enough is ENOUGH already!

I have been purposely keeping quiet since the elections, hoping that people would start getting along and all the hostility would be a thing of the past, BUT NO...
Some people (Gary) can't take the high road. Now HE says he believes the election was run crookedly.
Gary, each side had observers at the count. This was probably the most scrutinized election in the history of Century Village, and you still can't admit when a loss is a loss.
I could understand if YOU were running for office and had some doubt, but it wasn't even that close!
Gary, grow up, get over it, before someone starts to think you are nothing but a bitter old man that has nothing better to do. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Your candidates lost. Nobody likes a sore loser, and from what I have seen, most of the people that have lost have done so graciously, showing some class.
Get over it already.
This village needs some peace, not someone to stir the pot just to make some controversy.
This last election was a bitter one. It's over. Let the village heal. MOVE FORWARD towards the future.
