Is there a "gadfly" in your community? by Tina G. Korn

Every community has a busybody - a nuisance - a "gadfly" whose only desire is to get
noticed and to hear his/her voice be heard. This person will look for ways to upset the
status quo, try to overturn a passed resolution, and/or to make unnecessary waves!
Is there someone like this where you live?
Does he/she find the time to write to the White House, to Congress, to your representative in Tallahassee? Does this person berate your Board or the residents because what he/she feels is improper ( by his/her standards) should be aired in the public forum instead of the community, where it belongs?
Don't these people have a life? Couldn't good deeds for the community be accomplished
instead of "clearing the pool" when his/her foot touches the water?
I think I've made my point.
If you know of such a person. Tell them about this blog. Perhaps he/she will recognize
themself and find something positive to do.
Gee, it feels soooo good to have finally said this. Anybody agree?
