THANK YOU, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO VOTED YOUR HEART. YOU AND THE OTHERS ALL OVER OUR NATION SPOKE UP IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT DETERMINATION AND THE WILL TO BE REPRESENTED, DESPITE THE OPPOSITION, ARE HEALTHY DESPITE THE BLIGHT THAT WAS HEAPED UPON US! 1. After the results of the Snohomish Cemetery defeat at the decision of Judge Charles French in Superior Court, Everett, WA., SCW, the thoughts among those who upheld the Cem. has been exceedingly grim. To see a Pioneer cemetery die, or put to death, is deploring to say the least. 2. The good news is the results of the voice of the People to come out and vote, and despite all the negativeness that was expounded, and will continue to be expounded, the People prevailed with a resounding retort! 3. The various networks, CNN for one, and the various "talk shows", the inuendo and the smear have all resulted in a "resounding retort" as in #2; "cynicism is dead"! Oh, it will continue to rear its ugly neck, but the People have learned to read between the lines, and will continue to do so, as SUCCESS builds upon SUCCESS! We have a lot of PROBLEMS to solve, but isn't PROBLEM SOLVING the going thing among us? ( we GENEALOGISTS, good and poor,for example! I am one of the POORER ones, but I desire to do better. CC.). 4. Jeffersonian Democracy - these words ring in the annals of our history books and heritage. Today, dna adds to the legacy, thanks to a man of science who on his own proved as well as anyone can prove a fact of history, and of Life. Cynicism has no niche here, though there may be those who would not agree. 5. May we tackle the PROBLEMS of our day with a clear vision, rather than an aberrated one, and not let propaganda divert us from our own rational judgements. The "talk", "follow up" and "interpretation" after every major utterances of importance may be interesting to "listen to" but it most often turns out to be a persuasive device or media to "channel" your thinking in another direction - one that fit "their" case. Let this historic voting event be a lesson to us all that the "hoodwinking" is not going to GO! 6. History "will out" and it will continue to "will out" . It seems that Snohomish Cemetery "died" at the hand of Judge French and his decision Mon. Oct 26, 1998, but the Legacy of that Cemetery will live on, just as assuredly as "matter is neither created nor destroyed, but only changed in form" and energy is one of the ingredients in the formulae. Diligence and forthright prevail, and will continue to prevail as long as we VOTE to be heard, and to build upon the Legacy: the Living AND the "DEAD"!
