ANSWERING THE E-MAIL

Mr. Weik: So you don't think there was a Garden of Eden? Lee
Dear Lee: I have a hard time buying a serpent that talks, or woman being created by pulling a rib out of man, or that by taking a bite out of an apple, humankind was plunged into the abyss. A factual story? Any person with a kindergarten education should be able to figure it out.

Dear Bruce: You are all over the people running Hot Springs Village. Just exactly what is it you would do differently? Mary
Dear Mary: Pretty much everything.

Mr. Bruce: I've seen you get on priests, lawyers, corporate presidents, doctors, politicians. You don't much care who you get on, do you? Mike
Dear Mike: No.

Dear Peever: Why did you move to Hot Springs Village if you are so critical of it? Keith
Dear Keith: A lot of peeving material.

Peever: Where do you come up with all this nonsense?  Linda
Dear Linda: I make most of it up. The rest I get from The Village Voice.

Mr. Weik: Why are you so against the directors of the POA doing things in secret? We did elect them, after all. We should put our trust in them to do the right thing.  Steven
Dear Steven: Excellent idea. I bet you do the same with Obama? Perhaps I'm not quite as trusting as you. I call my questioning, positive doubt. The directors are no smarter than we are. Allowing elected officials to do whatever they want is not congruent with democratic principals. Democracy does not call for a passive electorate. One has to be active and constantly aware of what is being decided on your behalf. Besides, I got nothing else to do.
