No, I realize this is not a townie versus and outside issue.  I can
read. That much is obvious.  But you cannot deny that the vehemence is a
spill over from this event, and that part of the problem inherent in the
system is cliquishness and the appearance of it.  There are already
people here that are pointing those kind of fingers.

FWIW, I include myself in the "out to be ashamed category."

Yes, dithering is the issue.  We have had countless debates over policy,
and this is a huge result of that.  We are, after another seeming
crisis, debating something that should have been solved a long time ago.
