What passes for public discourse and protest in Lake Worth...

This is the sort of model that our leaders choose to portray for public debate and dialog.  The person that was arrested for tree-sitting at Palm Beach Gardens City Hall was the same one that rudely interrupted the swearing-in ceremony of Commissioner Maxwell.  People blindly followed the words of our "leaders" that the Commissioner-to-be was racist by unsubstantiated claims - disrupting the operations of a downtown business with their protests.  Commissioner Mulvehill picketed the Lake Worth Playhouse debate before the 2009 election with a sign saying "What about the Dolphins?" - in reference to Mayor Varela's work with marine mammals.  To date, I have never seen a dolphin in City Hall.

If you don't want someone to be elected, you create a stream of lies and myths and recite them to anyone and everyone that will listen.  When caught in the act, their acts are justified by subscribing to some sort of "highest good" or giving the excuse that "It's o.k. - everyone does it."

So why is the City Commission and administration so appalled by what they refer to as "Cyber-bullying?" Why should this come as a surprise to them at all?  If you don't get your way here or feel that you are harmed, we have been trained to go to extreme measures in protest.  No wonder we are a divided community.
