The Funny Thing

It is odd that folks considered "old Nashville" have such a uniformity of thought but that pattern of thinking is absolutely eschewed by Metro government. Our civic leaders listen to newcomers from other states. They take their marching orders from out of state developers. They cater to recent arrivals from the Third World, but to the people that built my hometown and still largely fund it through business and property taxes, our political class is absolutely non-responsive. The problem is that there are far too many of them now for us to vote out, so perhaps it is time to leave and become the nasty interlopers who somehow come to lord themselves over some community where we do not belong but take over anyway just as Nashville has experienced.
