Lake Worth Anarchist in letter to Palm Beach Post: "Keep balance in mind as Lake Worth grows"

A Lake Worth Anarchist wrote a letter to the editor that got published. When even an Anarchist concedes that growth is necessary to solve the problems in the little City of Lake Worth, you know the message is getting through.

Of course, no letter to the editor from an Anarchist about Lake Worth would be complete without references to the "D" word ("Delray"), an "urban canyon", or selling "our beach". You need to get those talking points in, as false as they are.

And those evil "developers" have to be addressed. The Anarchist writes, "developers and others who just see only dollar bills, not lives, families and homes." Who are "others"? An Anarchist casting a very wide net. Are 'others' people such as realtors, shop owners, and architects?

The Anarchist concludes the letter with a flourish of positivity and good will:
With a balanced approach to growth, we will be the “Jewel” that this city’s originators saw and will become the future they envisioned.
There's no mention of the Indians that were displaced. Now that's progress. Also not addressed are the early days of Lake Worth when the Gulfstream Hotel was constructed, the electric plant built, roads and miles of water lines—not exactly what you would call following the Anarchist world view.

It's hard to imagine Cara Jennings or Panagioti Tsolkas approving a letter such as this from a fellow Anarchist in Lake Worth; it's unimaginable they would concede that growth is a necessary component of Lake Worth's future success. Unless, of course, that is what they want people to think they believe.

On an entirely different note, this flyer was left around the downtown in October of last year:
