Attack on Free Speech
by Robert Falcione May 4, 2015—Two gunmen from Phoenix travelled to a Texas "free speech" event, a Prophet Mohammed Art Contest, and opened fire, wounding a school deputy. The shooters were quickly cut down by public safety officials who anticipated such an attack. Some have called the art contest an event meant to bait Muslims into reacting. Muslims had staged an pro-Islamic event of their own at that very location following the massacre of writers for the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last year by Muslim extremists. Depictions of the prophet Mohammed are considered blasphemous by some Muslims, although it is not clear why, because blasphemy is an act against God, and Mohammed said he was just a man. Many religions have beliefs or practices that contradict the precept of free speech. The Jews would not speak the name of God, Jehovah, instead, using the unpronounceable tetragrammaton, YHWH, in early writings. Tonight begins Hopkinton's premier free speech event, Town Meeting. And although you may give an opinion about an issue, the Moderator will not allow you to give one about the unwashed barbarian, the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who opposes your position, even if you are marginally related, or you live in adjacent homes. Unless, of course, the Moderator's position is aligned with yours. Remember when a mischievous senior citizen insisted on going up to the screen onstage a couple of years ago, as it turns out, just to embarrass someone in the audience? Whose laugh was the loudest? Oh, there'll be the usual politicians, whether or not they have any opposition in the upcoming election, taking the mic to let you know where they stand on every issue, taking advantage of the free air time, thus saving advertising dollars. It would be embarrassing to run unopposed and have "blank" get more votes, wouldn't it? (Hmmm... note to self!). But the important thing is to attend, whether or not you are an uniformed oaf, a grandiose fool, a vengeful hater, a political opportunist (He knows I am talking about him) or an educated and informed voter (like yourself). Please take part in this imperfect it's-the-best-we-have democracy. Please attend. See you there (Imagine smiley-face emoticon here). |

Commercial vs. Residential April 30, 2015 —
Above, Legacy Farms owner Roy S. MacDowell,
Jr. speaks to the gathering last
evening at the Faith Community Church
meeting room regarding Town Meeting Article
30, which seeks to change a part of the
zoning for the Legacy Farms plan for the
north side from 200,000 sq. ft. of
commercial to 180 units of age-restricted
housing. Mr. MacDowell said he expects the Legacy Farms North Road to have a surface by the end of the year, which would enable the start of construction on that side of the project. Mr. MacDowell noted that the promised sidewalk on East Main is being built, and that he is going to put in, at his cost, a sidewalk on Rafferty Road, which will connect to the Legacy North Road. He also noted that the trail system on the south side has been worked on of late, given that the construction activity is now outside of it. One attendee asked why more money wasn't dedicated for specific fire and police needs. Mr. MacDowell said that he is giving the town the money ($360,000) for public safety, and he has no authority to tell the selectmen how to spend it. In addition, the net positive revenue to the town if the change goes through is estimated to be $1.5 million per year, according to Town of Hopkinton consultant Judi Barrett. After introducing son Roy S. MacDowell III, Mr. MacDowell apologized, tongue-in-cheek, for his other son, Todd not attending, saying his wife was giving birth. After the presentation, Mr. MacDowell was proudly showing photos of his new grandchild that were already sent via cell phone. Mr. MacDowell asked the people attending to please go to Town Meeting and vote. Town Meeting will begin on Monday, May 4, 2015 at 7:00 pm in the Middle School Auditorium. There are 57 Articles. |
