With great strokes of the restoration of confidence that it is hoped wipes away forever the scourge of idleness and sloth, where we in our collective body revel in the tedium and imperfect conditions, where for too long in this community and all across America, if circumstances were even slightly more difficult than anticipated, cancelation upon delay upon no-show repeated in an endless loop of foolish nonsense, your people, charged with ever increasing willpower pressed forward on the toils, where so much is at stake if we are going to emerge from utterly fruitless years of small men with big jobs entertaining themselves with selfish and narrow-minded focus on concerns that only few benefit, always atmospheric, always emotional and lacking inherent and verifiable value to the great silent majority. So even this day, we again responded in earnest, after numerous triumphs this week starting with Tommy Lehnert and John S. Colgan knocking out more childish graffiti, with Joseph McGowan and this man David mulching another 20 trees across the broad spaces of Woodside, elements of your people practiced freedom, here under Phase I and II Greening and Cleaning, mulching another 13 street trees along a fixed line from 59 to 62 Street on 39 Avenue, the rain, merely a wonderful gift of Providence to clean the hands and moisten the effort. This team: cancellation is left in the dark domain of the verbal activists and the ancient organizations in which they have poisoned with their laziness and uncanny ability to lose opportunity after opportunity to raise standards of excellence. But never mind that bunch of dinner dance attending, modern art museum touring, protesting without getting hands to iron to reconcile word with deed. And pay no heed to how many trees were mulched or how many of the free people were there in less than ideal conditions. Let us leave the bean-counting to those who conduct their sham exercises to dazzle us into believing they did something, always random, always rare and certifiably phony from start to finish. But sickening images of this clustering of face-contorting, hand-wringing tricksters never once penetrated my lonely and troubled heart or my tormented soul. Not when youth such as Tenzin and Chogu from the High School of Womens Leadership were there, not when Elder Chinchilla, Sister Wadsworth and other members of the faith through service example set by the LDS Ministry, and how fortunate we are that they are in our midst. Let it also be noted that our core, being Elba Santiago and Nelson Rodriguez prepositioned the mulch in advance of our activities. Happy times indeed. Finally, you will also duly note the photographic evidence of garbage gathered at the site of the first toil, followed by remaining members cleaning under 61 Street station and finally the 3-block radius thereabout. The triumph over doing nothing today assured, but the volume of garbage is not, and can never be a point of pride for our community; a sickening example of the residual senseless and, might I add, babyish attitude of some of our residents who, it is surmised, see us as their grandpa with a lollipop, ready to clean up after them without any determination made as to guilt. Much indeed is left to accomplish to overcome all the reasons, excuses if you will, for why this persists. (11/01/14)
