Somehow, while we were watching,
Stkte Illoway 6 has turned into Doath=
Trap 6. Perhaps the citizens now feel
that this situation needs correction.
not now, maybe another fatality will star
them thinking about preventing these
things before they occur.
I just hope it's not somebody I know
the next time. I would hate to think that
I helped cause his or her death by not
trying to do something about it before
it occurred.
Actually, I'd like to do something
right now by askinj our city council in
College Station what of plans they've
approved for the future development of
Death -trap 6, but, according to their
haid -out, they DON'T HAVE TIME to
listen to citizens' views of agenda items.
Actually, that's not exactly true, eith-
er. If you want to, you can get up at
the first of the meeting and try to guess
what they're going to discuss later on in
the meeting and say anything about that
you want to. I know that sounds more
like Russian roulette than democracy,
but that's what our council wants.
With a mayor and city council like
that, I think I've got a good idea what'
going to happen to the future develop
ment of Death -trap 6.
That's ironic in a way. I voted for a
representative on the City council, and
now the city council tells me that I can't
tell my representative how I feel on
each agenda item as it comes up. I
guess if I get fed up enough, I can al-
ways move to another city. But that's
sure a heck of a way to run a city. .
