I have come to the conclusion that people are idiots. During Tuesday’s rain storm I was at work watching people drive very fast through standing water, some of them even on their phones. God I hope these people have not had children as I’d hate to see that gene pool continue. Weather forecasters had been saying we would be getting torrential rains in short batches but that didn’t stop people from going out.
Me again. The City of Westfield really needs to do a better job staying in front of the mis-information being spread about the water issue. I applaud Councilor Flaherty for responding to the blatantly false information being spewed on FaceBook Tuesday but the social media trolls have been fed a line of crap they think is truth. I hope this petition they have going fails miserably but if for some reason it succeeds, and if it ever makes it to the November ballot, the city leaders must make sure that people fully understand the ramifications. I cringed when Flaherty clearly stated how certified, regulated and highly educated professionals have examined Westfield’s water issues and have created a solution but the internet trolls don’t want to believe them, they think their untrained way is better. Not believing that is like saying I’m going to have a heart condition because my neighbor said he heard from a guy in Ohio who knew a guy that had a heart problem.
