[WardFive] Re: [ward5] assorted @CM McDuffie tweets from yesterday

Brian,

I hear you and it is funny but;

1.  Kenyan feels like us - he is just feeling his political legs out.  Some of us have other experiences to laterally draw from.  While I am like you that he should just jump out and lead the protest while locating a suitable alternative, he has to come into his true being on his own time. Hopefully, he will get it soon enough.  Actually this morning, a very experienced older, very frank person shared that Kenyan has the making of a Good CM. 

2.  Most Great Leaders are just born and some have to grow into filling the shoes!  I believe that Kenyan will grow into his role - how soon is the question. 

3.  Yes, as soon as he moves from under Cos's influence, I think that he will be able to absorb the life filling force of his own sunlight!  Tough for plants to grow big while under a cover!

4.  Delano did right that night - wasn't nothing said that he could have improved upon.  Speaking up would right now may be seen as grandstanding.  Plus, he is still licking his wounded ego.  Smart guy - just was less ready than Kenyan and less appealing to the White Base who showed up % wise; but I know you know that he has tremendous growth potential.

Rob,
The CM is still "ascertaining information" and "asking hard questions". It takes a while for him to form an opinion and take a stance on an issue. Eventually, we will hear if he is for or against the barn at Spingarn. Hey, that's got a ring to it! And I think we better get used to it..."the barn at Spingarn". Anyway, sometime, before the next election, the CM and his Cos will decide where they stand on the barn at Spingarn.
 
Disclosure: The guy I supported won't even stand up for his own high school.
 
And in general, I disregard any opinion that involves a person comparing him/herself to God.

Aaron, while every million is worth being spent on job/career training, Like Mrs. Alice said, it can be done at a different location.  The reality is that I can show you and so can many others what $50 million can actually do as far as job and career training. We don't need a Token of Promised "job training facility" to bribe and pacify us. We don't need a "Car Barn" to do this if this is really what they want - like Mrs. Alice said - we can do that anywhere the Barn is placed.

As a matter of fact, this Crap is all about Mr. Gray's "legacy" and getting the Trolley done soon as it brings a level of completion and paid for Promises to reality.  The reality is that if this takes too long - like going through the red tape to get it done at Union Station or RFK - there is a likelihood that it won't happen and the tracks are going to be termed  "tracks to nowhere", like it has been termed from the beginning - and that will become Mr. Gray's legacy!! 

And - what difference does it make what Ward the Barn is placed.  Hopefully, we have a soon to be awakened Council Member that is adamant like Ward 7 CM when it came to putting the Barn on Ward 7's Green Space!!  I hope Kenyan is taking notes on how to Energetically React with Responsiveness when it comes to protecting our Schools and Green Space!  Kenyan wanted to lead, he should understand what Leadership is all about - All he has to do is let his inner soul to recognize where the needs are!!  

Rob.

It is a shame that this has become to some type of hate, and have shown that the individuals who have turn this into hate need to STEP BACK!
 
First this Car Barn/Training Facility will be built @SpingarnHighDC and why because for one thing this is bigger than anyone on this listserv,twitter,blog,facebook,and google+, and community meeting. God wish for this to be for our children/youth, and you may not like the location, but their is a bright light at the end. Training Facility on light rail for the next generation of coming adults in a career not a title of a "job."
  The dreams of careers back in the eye's of our youth and young adults is worth every million spent to have that back in their eyes. One I am on twitter,facebook,listserv and meetings. So hate me, but one thing is for sure they hated God.

Well let me give an example. I'm 260lbs and 6 feet tall. A few years back we had a meeting about historic preservation and I was one of the few in favor of it to protect the fiber of the community which I grew up.
I of course wasn't scared to speak up but afterwards I was approached by many who were scared to say something after seeing how I was attacked and yelled at. So when saying that folks aren't scared it isn't true. People are scared to speak up in these events because of the interactions much like many on this list serve.

Why Alice - is that you my sista.  As I projected my voice at the meeting you and KPW said the same thing I did but in a softer yet firm voice.  Do you and KPW provide voice lessons?  😜

So the tweets indicate folk where afraid to offer support for the car barn at the Phelps meeting. What did they think was going to happen to them if they did!? Give me a break!! Here we go again. I was at the meeting and it ran just like the meetings West of Rock Creek Park. Yes I have live there.

Everyone was offered a chance to have there voices heard. I support a car barn just in a location other than the front lawn of one of our High Schools.

If those that were afraid to attend bothered to get the facts they would find out that the majority of concerns expressed were about the location of the car barn. In fact, before the end of the meeting attendees made sure everyone understood that. It is not unusual for folk to be passionate about issues especially if they feel disrespected and left out of a process or opportunity offered to others.

I think that was very clear when folk wanted to get their points across about same sex marriage -- for and against. Don't hate the player hate the game.
