The mayor of Simpleton
March 26th, 2005
For those of you don’t know, I am the president of my condo’s homeowners association. I’m also the treasurer, and I do some of the secretarial duties. So basically I’m in charge and I do almost everything. This is sort of illegal and not really appropriate for me to be doing all that.
You might be wondering why am I doing all this. It’s rather simple really. Nobody else around here is willing or able to help out. There are a few people around that help a bit here and there, and I have one neighbor that I can count on to do a lot of the legwork.
But this isn’t really about who’s doing what or about giving credit where credit is due. This is about those people who aren’t doing anything.
I’ve come to the conclusion that generally the people around here are selfish, lazy, and rude. I’m going to skip all the details to prove all this, and simply say the following:
This building is my home.
This building is their home.
They live in my home. I live in theirs.
Everybody needs to start acting like we live together and we are a community.
Everybody needs to start working together to make this place a better place to live.
Have faith in me and may ability to affect change. I can and will make things happen. With their help I can make bigger and better things happen than what I can do on my own. If they resist me they will loose. If they join me they will have something to rejoice in.
