THANK YOU VOTERS…at
least to those of you who voted for…!
The Editorial Staff of The Pocahontas
Crier wishes to say THANK YOU to each of you smart enough to vote
in the Primary Election for county commission candidates NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN (Rep-SD) & PATTI HEINEMANN (Dem-ND)
who ran a joint campaign setting forth all the issues that could bring this
county OUT
OF POVERTY & PAUPERISM and INTO PROGRESS & PROSPERITY! While NORMAN WON his primary election for the Southern
District, PATTI Lost her election bid
in the Northern District – but at least everyone got to see the 15 POINTS that
can make a change for the better – if & when ever implemented! Those same 15 POINTS – as STEPS FORWARD – are
now on the shoulders of NORMAN
as he heads into the General Election scheduled for 04 November 2014! Hopefully enough Voters will Elect Norman so he can begin the
groundwork for restoring this county to good government!
Of the total number
of persons registered to vote in this county, a little less than 25% actually
voted – which is disgraceful from an international point
of view where people are still struggling & dying for the chance to vote
for a candidate of their choice – but it’s typical of the trend in voting within this State
and particularly within this county! Let’s face it, a vast number of folks in
Pocahontas County don’t even have a television, let alone a computer or know
how to even use a computer to get on the Internet – so life outside of their own private-universe
does not exist as far as they are concerned! And this does not even include those folks
that rank as ‘functionally-illiterate’
– lacking reading-skills – in comparison to those in other counties bordering Pocahontas County and beyond! And then, after all that, you add those
numbers to the folks that have religious beliefs that keep them from the
greater community participation, and clinging only within their
own-cloistered-communities which do not vote, and you can see why just a small
handful of folks – organized within their so-called ‘secret-brotherhoods & sisterhoods’ –
you know, the ‘lodge-folks’
– and you can see just how THINGS NEVER CHANGE HERE IN POCAHONTAS COUNTY – for the
better that is!
As set forth throughout the
primary campaign, one of the main reasons THINGS NEVER CHANGE HERE is the fact that the same
‘scheisse’ keeps getting recycled
over & over! Is not doing the same thing over & over again and expecting a
different result the very definition of ‘STUPIDITY’? So why are we surprised with the same
results again & again! All you need
in a ‘FEUDAL SOCIETY’
is one or two folks to give the orders and everyone else falls in line – by
whatever title they wish to go by, be it Dictator,
Boss Man, Warlord, Potentate, Worshipful Master, CEO, Owner, or whatever ad
nauseam – just you wait until DONALD TRUMP becomes the ‘big mamaluka’! And this county is
full of such SELF-SERVING SPECIAL INTERESTS!
Look around – you don’t have to look very far!
Look around indeed! At one time Marlinton considered itself ‘richer’
& ‘superior’
to Durbin, but if someone were blindfolded and taken to each town and had their
blindfolds removed – is there any difference anymore? And what is the solution? Try and force folks behind on their ‘town-bills’
to pay up or else! Or else what? Have their
respective water turned off? How will that help
ANYONE TO LIVE BETTER in Marlinton or Durbin? OR…WILL IT DRIVE MORE FOLKS AWAY? Common Sense should have told the folks in
Durbin a long time ago that they would be FAR BETTER OFF becoming
UNINCORPORATED especially since they ‘lost-their-town-charter’ and can no longer
show a legal-line-of-continuity from one local ordinance to another – let alone
have the so-called ‘town-council’ try & force folks on a ‘fixed-income’ to pay for past, present
& future ‘town-bills’
while the folks on the ‘town-council’ exempt themselves! Getting rid of the
mayor, town-council, and the associated costs involved employing them would go
a far lot further economically than trying to force folks to pay what they can
no longer afford! But there are a
few SELF-SERVING
SPECIAL INTERESTS that own almost everything at the expense of
everyone else that now wants to force everyone else to pay what most cannot
afford! Why & how? Where is the Common
Sense in this scenario? Who in
their right mind would want to move to Durbin – for any reason – let alone try
and start a business there and have to pay all kinds of ‘town-fees’ & such? Same goes with Marlinton and its ‘business-taxes’ – but LOOK – everyone is
still walking back & forth in their own RUT! What’s a RUT? Simply a GRAVE with both ends open! Instead of ‘debtor’s prisons’ – where folks
were put into dungeons just because they were ‘HAVE-NOTS’ by the ‘HAVES’ –
now we just shut off water & electric and whatever else we can do TO the
poorer members of our society – and we expect THAT to improve our over all
condition! WHATEVER
HAPPENDED TO THE ‘GOLDEN-RULE’? But, as you can see on Sundays, the ‘HAVES’
are the first in church praising their ‘wealthiness’ at the expense of everyone
else!
This ‘feudal-mentality’ has all but
ruined this county in the last three-four-decades as more folks have had to
MOVE OUT than MOVE IN since the majority of most everyone is now at or near the
bottom on a ‘fixed-income’
and/or on a ‘minimum-wage’! Meanwhile
the county infrastructure is rusting & rotting away with no end in sight – unless it collapses
& we all just walk away! The irony is that the folks that have grabbed
what they could for themselves – with little to no thought of others – now find
themselves also caught between the proverbial ‘rock & hard-place’! Why?
Because for them to stay in this county – they will either have to fork
over some of their horded-funds, or also be swept aside! When Buster Varner is the only ‘businessman’ left in Durbin – WHO will
pay the business-taxes, water & sewer, and garbage & maintenance
fees? And WHO will be his customers for
him to stay in profit? Will he then be
able to pay his ‘fair-share’
as he claims each one on a ‘fixed-income’ should now be forced to do? Is this criticism of Buster for trying to
bring products & services that no one else has been able to afford to bring
to the Durbin area? NO – but it is a ‘Reality-Check’
as to just how far we are willing to go to get ‘blood-out-of-a-stone’!
And the same goes for Richardson’s Hardware
& Mitchell’s Chevrolet in Marlinton if & when they too are the only
businesses left standing after the NEXT FLOOD! It is the same scenario faced by all small
communities faced with a rapidly-shrinking population and a collapsing
infrastructure! Does anyone really think
it will improve when the likes of DONALD TRUMP turns his soon-to-be
privately-owned Snowshoe-RAD (Resort Area District) into just another of his ‘Trump-Casinos’ –
this time in the middle of nowhere?
If you’ve ever been to Atlantic City, then you’ve seen firsthand
what glitzy lights along the boardwalk look like compared to the SLUMS in the
rest of the city! If you think Poverty &
Pauperism is bad now – just wait until a ‘four-lane’ rips this county in
half, and EVERYTHING GOES TO THE MOUNTAIN & BACK
AGAIN & no where else! We’ve
heard that ‘Tourism’
is so great for our county – so is that why Frontier Communications has
provided BROADBAND TO SNOWSHOE FIRST – instead of anywhere else? Thanks Reta Griffith for SERVING YOURSELF & SPECIAL
INTERESTS before your neighbors by selling us all into Frontier’s
Monopoly! Once the ‘Trump Casino’
is completed, it is set to be sold to the owner of ‘The Greenbrier Inn – Casino’ –
so take a good look at White Sulphur next time going to Lewisburg and see just
how much and how fast ‘the wealth’ of
‘The Greenbrier’ has trickled down to
the rank & file! How do you think
Snowshoe-RAD will improve your life here?
Apparently no one was interested or capable of understanding the WORKERS COOP
for taking over Snowshoe & Silver Creek for the benefit of the State of
West Virginia and the people of this County as set forth by Norman & Patti
in the recent primary campaign – so now see what you really get!
And all this goes for DAVID
McLAUGHLIN & BILL BEARD as candidates for county commission! What does DAVID know
about ‘running a government’ when he
has spend his adult life looking at the REAR-END of CATTLE and DRIVING AROUND
IN CIRCLES delivering his mail routes?
The quick answer: NOT A DAMN THING as he showed in the primary election
by having no imagination or explanation for anything asked of him! But he was elected anyway since he’s a ‘nice-guy’ who will simply follow orders
and do what he is told by the SELF-SERVING SPECIAL INTERESTS! The same goes for Bill Beard as he
has demonstrated in the months since his appointment to replace the late Dolan
Irvine – you remember Dolan don’t you? He was the County Assessor that NEVER RAISED HIS OWN PROPERTY
TAXES A SINGLE PENNY IN OVER 25 YEARS – while he slowly raised everyone else in
the county every three (3) years from 19% - 31%! Check out your square-footage & acreage
between when Dolan took office & when he died! And then folks wonder why things only
seem to be getting worse instead of better in this county – yet the ‘Secret-Society-Block-Vote’ keeps
RECYCLING the same thieves election after election who only serve themselves at
the expense of everyone else! Still think
things are great – just wait until your PROPERTY TAXES DOUBLE so the school
officials can raise their salaries at your expense! Does anyone still think
that Pocahontas County isn’t run the same as a
Medieval-Feudal-Fiefdom?
THAT’S WHY…
On 04 NOVEMBER…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism
– and –
Just say ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!

that will always put YOU first! They know that:
