Let me get out the hip waders and the shovel...

... because the $h!t is really starting to get deep in here.

How can it be that someone can complain when an organization holds a banquet to honor its volunteers for sacrificing themselves so selflessly throughout the year? Those volunteers received prizes donated by various local and non-local organizations, and yet there are complaints by those who assume (remember the old saying about ASS and U and ME?) that the organization spent money on those prizes. This is the one of the few times that they are honored by their peers for the job they do; and yet some people will find fault in that.

How is it that someone can criticize an organization and its leadership, failing to see the amazing strides that organization has made and continues to make? Why is it that they fail to see the positive and yet accentuate the negative?

Why is it that some people cannot seem to separate a person's private life from their public? Once again they assume that somehow they are related and that one will affect the other.

Why do some people seemed destined to live in the past, refusing to accept the present, much less the future? Those people dredge up old accusations. that had no merit in the past, and pass those off as gospel truth, poisoning fresh minds with their bile.

How easy is it to hide behind a veil of anonymity, criticizing and dividing, offering nothing constructive?

For some, all too easy...

Well, I like kharma. When someone does something that they know is wrong it will come and bite the right in the rear.

You know, I don't get it. I was a member of a fire department for numerous years. Every year we had our banquet. The department spent the money to appreciate the dept, its members and their familes. This was never an issue. Why is it now that someone has to take away from someone saying thanks for risking your life just to save theirs. What would happen if their house caught fire, or their loved ones or themselves were in need of medical attention? Who would they be calling? The very same people they are dogging. kharma is a bitch man. It will come back eventually.

Because ignorance and stupidity are alive and well on the Prairie - and those who are infected don't mind spreading the wealth.
