What? What's that you say?

Is that 'Huh? What's that you say?' how you may respond to a summons for jury duty?
Point being: Board vacancies and all public employments -- including 'elected' offices could better be filled (Occupied?) by conscription, that is a Draft.
All military is public employees and military sense (albeit not 'intelligence') was better and worked better back when our Draft filled the vacancies, (compared to today's all-mercenary torture-murder performance).
Bring back the Draft Expanded beyond simply (simpleton?) military public employees, (and arguably jury-duty 'conscription') to begin drafting ALL public employments. Starting with a Letter of Summons ... such as, 'TO Whom These Presents May Come: Greetings. You are hereby required to appear for aptitude screening and processing by the CoP employee board seeking qualified candidates for listening to noise ....'

Seems like not so fun a job. You've got to learn the applicable codes, consider the not-always-simple merits of variance requests. Do homework. Show up to class.
If someone is willing to do this, I say more power to him/her and thank you.
Get in there and block those composting noise-makers before they're entrenched! Volunteer! Service Guarantees Citizenship.

Re: "Phew! That took multiple seconds of clicking around"
Allan L., you might have found the link faster by lodging a noise complaint with Noise Officer Paul Van Orden, who would have immediately advised you, in lieu of addressing your complaint, to seek a seat on the board.

I'm sure Tenskwatawa had a point in all the gibberish and hateful talk.
But to the point, can I lodge a complaint about the whir of bicycle tires annoying me?

Wayne Madsen find:
Sentient others, such as Madsen, directly or indirectly get around to seeing my point too. How very thoughtful of you to notice, rankfuxerPosted by Tenskwatawa | January 28, 2012 10:15 PM
