You know, I think the primary problem is a perception of local governing entities. If you come from a large city, apparently you are accustomed to corrupt hierarchy and no one ever listening to the common citizen. Apparently, the only way to be heard there is to create a lot of commotion! The problem occurs when those individuals move to a small town. Our hierarchy is our neighbor. Private citizen?s are heard, a lot of commotion is not necessary. The citizens comments are taken seriously. When the city antics are used in a small town, it overloads the system. The local governing body expects the citizen?s comments to be valid particularly when accompanied by a lot of commotion! You need to make sure your accusations are researched and correct! I know the dog fly breeds elsewhere, and the wind carries them here! I ?happened? to be on the bay at the time I experienced them! Did it ever occur to you that the reason we don?t see to many dog flies is because there has been a systematic cull for a lot of years? That with the drought conditions the past 2 years? The poisons that have been sprayed have been researched as much as possible by scientists! Is there any evidence of random poisoning of any other creature including humans? I haven?t heard of anyone being poisoned, in fact, even Pat Patterson lived to be 105 in Grayton Beach! According to the article in the DeFuniak Herald, the BCC discontinued the dog fly program completely! Not just not allowing a new plane! Did it occur to anyone what would happen with a complete discontinuance, not a slower withdrawal? Was that investigated? No, just a ?Hitler? conspiracy? Is your neighbor ?Hitler??
