Aaaahhhh, caught up, so to speak...

In June we also started a family scavenger hunt. This has been the most fun for us. What a great idea, and a way to reconnect with family members and see they funny things they are up to. I happen to particularly like the photos that can combine families/teams together.  Now silly as it is to say, we are a competitive bunch. We love to snap the pics and we love to play and we love to get a little something at the end, even if it's just the ahha! I did it!
Also in June we, several family members began to be harassed by the media. Now this is so hurtful and upsetting and downright ugly that I almost don't want to express anything on here that might in some terrible way be copied, hacked, cut up and transformed into something else and then broadcast back to the general public. So I will state that I in no way want that and if you are a media representative in anyway leave us alone.
I will try to be as calm as possible when I say that almost none of what is being talked about in the media is true. Since the inception the information has been false or a half truth, and all parties speaking out in the media are incorrect. But I now know how interviews are cut and blocked and edited to you saying just what they want you to say. Now we live in an average town, not a big metropolis, so it seriously cannot be coming to this. What happens over and over in any town is someone wants to make a name for themselves. This particular reporter, at one time built quite a nice reputation ruining other peoples lives. In 2000 he did this same kind of thing and ran several people within the school board out of town. I now question the real information behind that. In the end it cost the taxpayers $35million to clean up the drama he created. He then left our pretty little town for bigger parts unknown, and has been all over including New York, where he broadcast the same type of bulling and fear tactics.He has won awards for such tactics, but has never stayed in any one location. He even covered a Son of Sam story where he yet again instilled fear or tried to into the citizens of that town. Well it might have gone badly for him because no-one comes back to our much smaller town from larger areas to work yet once again unless they need 1 of three things. They have made it big and want to come home and settle down with family, they need a revivement of their career and are coming back to the touchstone to re-create it, they have no-where else to go and are grabbing for any straw or handout they can get. The media he worked for before did not hire him back, questions there?
Digging around, tresspassing, stirring up employees, being a nusiance and telling out and out lies, telling state officials things in which you have not knowledge of, but simply guess at.
What happened to being a hard working positive team player? Since when is it ok to to bully people? Since when are you commended for being a whiner? In our area there might be 3 honest, hardworking, positive, take action team players who would get the job done who are unemployed for every do nothing, laze about, bare minium,negative person who is employed in these areas. Why oh why are we not changing things. If fortune 500 companies take great care in who they employ, why aren't we taking action?
It is all in the perspective. If someone attacks you , your initially shocked and good manners tells you to back off and smooth things over and not dwell over it, to take each day in stride. But then the attacker never stops, and the manipulation game is always to keep you off center, to always upset you so you can make a mistake and then broadcast it to the world. It is time to take a defensive stance and shout out "NO! FIRE! NO!  NO MORE! GET BACK!" just like in defensive class. If we teach our children and women how to protect ourselves from the physical attacker, do the same for the mental one. Do the same for the harrasser, the defamation of character.
