Speaking of nuts...
One of the faithful readers of this blog -- I'll call him Mr. Anonymous -- left a comment on the post below about the "nuts" who might be attracted to a county board meeting like the ones who attend city council meetings, just to see themselves on TV.
This is a very good point. The problem with some of the people who speak before city council is they like to hear the sound of their own voice too much. I won't mention any specific names, like David Smith, but they mustn't understand that if they would just make their points concisely and sit down, they'd come across as more knowledgeable and less as blowhards. Watching the city meetings is entertaining whenever I can make out the garbled, distorted audio. It's funny how none of the other public access programs seem to suffer from this same problem.
Speaking of other programs, I think the quality of some of them is getting better. I like the food show, lotus ghingko and the John Patterson show. They are all pretty well done. Even Dr. Ghai's heart show is interesting, but it could be done on radio and be just as interesting.
Shows that should be ditched include Monroe Alive -- I mean I know Mrs. Lavoy is well-intentioned but she comes across as someone with dementia -- and the Dr. Scott Hughes show -- talk about putting your foot in your mouth! Compared to these two, the long-winded nuts who come to city council are a breath of fresh air.

I think that anyone who speaks at a public meeting should be heard, to a point. That point being the point being discussed by the council. Any other non city related business discussion should be ruled out of order, and the nut asked to sit down.
