I accept your clarification of the "troll" remark. I too would love to see a few politicians knocking on the door. Unfortunately those old "grass root" tactics don't work too well any longer. With both parents working in a family, many people are never at the door when candidates come knocking. I think submitting ideas on a web site such as facebook or even GCG works to some extent. However, it is too easy on a site like this to "shoot" those people down. I would rather see term limits. Give the elected official one chance to make good on his promises. Too often people get elected on promises the first time and then do nothing to progress. Case in point, former mayor Selph. Election time is always fun on here. At least you and I can discuss the merits of a campaign in a reasonable fashion. I wish the trolls could learn to do so.
