Diner News: Election Talk Creeping Into Conversations . . . Common sense may come back into play in the upcoming elections, and that can be uncomfortably frightening John E. Moss, Jamestown, Russell County, KY At the Manners Diner on Monument Square there are still lingering thoughts on the wet/dry vote reversal. Most of the conjecture tends to be on who will be suing whom and who may or may not appeal the recent judicial decision. An unnamed local source, who used to be a judge, was talking about the difference between the written law and the law as interpreted by members of the judicial system. He also, from experience, gave a brief but comprehensive dissertation about how not being able to prove 'Prior Intent' can burn your rear end in a lawsuit. Talk at the diner is slowly turning to the coming primary election. For the most part, it is agreed that with so many candidates running in the primary for positions on the general election ballot, the old 'lesser of two evils' rule of thumb is for the most part worthless. A newer candidate elimination system of marking off relatives, those gripped by greed, buffoonery, and the marginally qualified seemed too harsh. Implemented impartially, there were far too few candidates left to choose from. So, it is beginning to look like common sense might have to brought into play during the election, and that can be uncomfortably frightening. But when you think . . . it does explain some of our previously elected city, county and state officials. This story was posted on 2010-03-06 04:49:04
