"I was a Democrat until September,'' she said
As Stefan posted earlier, the 5th District Democrats, by applauding the unconstitutional confiscation of rural land by King County's Council through the Critical Areas Ordinance, are unintentionally enlightening their own constituents:
Sims gave his planned presentation on King County's Critical Areas Ordinance, outlining its history, its intent and its merits.
Protesters snickered and sneered, then voiced their displeasure when it was announced Sims would be taking just three questions, and only from Democrats.
---
But a curve ball was thrown when the final question was asked by a woman who turned out to be a Democrat no longer.
"I was a Democrat until September,'' said Cherri Mann, her throat quivering. "I walked the walk and I talked the talk.''
Mann [explained] to Sims that her five-acre Bear Creek property is "worthless'' now, because of the strict development limitations of the CAO.
Mann said she needs to get an $800 permit to pick raspberries on her property, and her dog can only run free on two acres of the land.
"My property is worthless,'' she said. "How can government overstep so much?''
You were talking to one answer to that question, Ma'am, standing in a room full of other answers to that question.
Later...
Sims briskly made his way out the door and to his car as the Democrats thanked him and applauded him.
First they tax small business to death, then they grab the land. I'm still expecting to see a call for a "Critical Body Parts" Ordinance, where they declare 65% of each rural King County resident's anatomy under municipal control.

“corruption” he murmured.
He had said it before. Tears of hopelessness were the only response. The rulers without souls had stolen their strength…. leaving only despair and silence.
What’s that? The wind? He couldn’t be sure. He strained and listened.
And there it was. Another voice had mimicked him.
This couldn’t be!
He muttered the word again. The voice mimicked back.
He raised his voice. And, as if aided by some unseen force, the mimic responded in kind.
He screamed the word. From the blackness, the scream was returned.
Eyes, long since dulled by loneliness and fear, started to blink. Another voice mouthed the word. Another. Then another. Then another. And then, as a forest fire spreads across the treetops, the word danced across the multitudes. It rose in volume until it engulfed the land. Souls screamed the word to unleash their bonds. Each chorus became louder than the last. The ground reverberated with the sound.
“Corruption”
