Charles River: Outrage at Magazine Beach is my fault?
A takeaway from my leafleting the rally led by members of the Cambridge City Council last Friday, June 15.
Here is a tidbit which came to me while leafleting the tree protection rally by members of the tree destructive Cambridge City Council on the steps of Cambridge City Hall on June 15.
During the allegedly pro tree rally, passing out leaflets, I had the nerve to summarize a key point in the leaflets: Cambridge City Council destroys trees.
A word came from the group surrounding the two Cambridge City Councilors leading the rally.
It seems that, possibly from a councilor, I have turned out to be responsible for the increasing outrage at Magazine Beach, the massive pending destruction of excellent trees, the increasing heartless animal abuse, the rerouting of poisons into the Charles, etc..
According to the individual whose statement was being passed to participants, I HAD FAILED IN MY DUTY.
IT HAD BEEN MY DUTY TO KEEP THE CITY COUNCIL FROM VOTING IN SUPPORT OF THESE TERRIBLE THINGS.
Thus, according to friends of the City Council, I have no right to object to the terrible things the Cambridge City Council is fighting for.
There is a Yiddish word for taking such a position. The word escapes me, but the word is most definitely not complimentary.
It is also the sort of reasoning which over too many years, has been altogether too common coming out of people controlled by the City of Cambridge.
