I started an announcement which to me was notable. South Walton has always had a diverse population of differing opinions. It also has never been able to agree on anything. For one segment of our population to over-rule all others and make policy is not a democracy, nor is it showing any mutual respect for another human being. We may not all agree, but surely we can have enough self control to coexist without acting like children. Mud slinging only shows the world who and what you are, and stifles constructive progress. You may not agree with me, but I live here, and have for a long time; and am a part of many who have the same manner of living. This is a small community, eventually you will run into people that you may not like, and will have to deal with it. This bitterness is a cancer and left unchecked, is a destructive force. If you really love SoWal, I recommend that you find some peace for the betterment of our entire community.
