Turn on the Lights!

Let the light shine in!

Submitted to Shelton Blog by John Cox

Due to the spotlight of internet scrutiny, the censure-ship of Jack Miles was dropped from the Port Commissioners' meeting agenda. The recent series of events has reinforced in our minds, why this blog was started. It began as an attempt to provide information and news to the citizens of Shelton and Mason County that is usually ignored, suppressed, or distorted by the “media” and the community power brokers. If you are wondering who that might be, take at look at who is supporting biomass incineration. True, this is an old story, but through the incredible power of blogs and email lists, and the unstoppable access to online information, we are now experiencing a redistribution of power.

Knowledge is power. The politicians, corporate media, and the local power brokers are no longer in complete control. Their grip on the reins of power is slipping.

Years ago, I lived in a place that had a terrible cockroach problem. When you went into the kitchen at night and turned on the lights, the roaches that ruled the kitchen in the dark, scurried around madly trying to escape, seeking refuge in any dark corner they could find.

And that's what we are trying to do. Turn on the lights!

“We the people”... that's what it is supposed to be about.

See you at the No Biomass demonstration in front of Shelton City Hall at 5:00 today, before the public info meeting!
