"Overwhelming or not, the current support may not be enough to save Reis or Keenist's homes, leaving others to marvel in the sacrifice that a small group of families has made for the greater benefit of the community."
Hum...
Pardon me while I opine (somewhat obscenely)...
Just how in the *expletive deleted* does blue turf on the local *expletive deleted* football field contribute to the greater benefit of the community?
Does it cure cancer?
Does it feed the hungry or cloth the naked?
What the three fingered flying *expletive deleted* were these idiots thinking?
The ONLY thing that it "served the greater good of" was the EGOS of a small cadre of people who thought that blue field turf would be distinctive and neat looking.
I'm sorry, but if anyone ever deserved to lose a home, it's these people! Talk about poor life choices!
