Two friends are driving in opposite directions along a road when they each pass a billboard about the same time. The next day, they meet to play golf and they mention seeing each other the previous day on the road as they passed the billboard. One said the billboard was blue, while the other said it was yellow. Each thinking the other guy was wrong, decided to place a friendly wager, and drove to the billboard. Sure enough it was blue, but then they looked on the other side and it was yellow. Depending upon their perspective, which way they were coming from, they were both right. It happens in politics all the time.
Recently, a reader (BDWeiser, 45-year resident) replied to a Watchdog posting, which was then replied to by another reader (Jim Haselhorst, former Naperville mayoral candidate). Both see things, and mayor Steve Chirico’s leadership from a different perspective. The topics included:
- Winefest
- Jaycee Wi-Fi Smart Park
- Chriskindle Market
- Old Nichols Library
- 5th Avenue Development
- Ribfest
- SECA funds
- Last Fling
- Family members
It all depends upon which side of the ‘billboard’ one is looking towards. The bottom line is that it is possible to disagree with being disagreeable.
Here is a link to the comments Feel free to join the conversation.
hey WD…..I’m very disappointed in this ‘article” We should all see your billboard as one—the truth. neither Steven or Jim speaks the turth. They speak to fool thecommon folk, Isn’t it the point of this site to dig deep and do just that? Will you? If not…Very Very disappointing.
