Ken: You just put up with seven years of construction? What went on?

I don’t have a problem with pain for the right things… pain for nothing or next to nothing, that doesn’t seem so attractive. The reason I am so against siting such a facility in, on, and around Lowman Beach Park is they can’t build it big enough here, and they won’t get it through SEPA, period. They are going against their own studies related to vulnerabilities of such facilities.

I guess you don’t get it on the NIMBY thing. Yah, there may be some in my neighborhood who wouldn’t want it here even if it is right. Maybe my landlord and other landowners, but, again, I don’t need to go through THIS pain of advocating for the right thing, which is turning into way more pain than I ever imagined for the purpose of avoiding a mess. Actually, personally, I will lose nothing if the build it here and build it big, tall, ugly, short or small. It doesn’t affect me personally. I will still windsurf the sound, sleep well at night, etc. I don’t use the park, itself, for anything personally except tennis now and then (and there are great alternative tennis courts just up the hill), but I see tons of people who do, and I do care about what they care about.

Pejorative and off-point uses of the term NIMBY are a pretty transparent propaganda ploy. Sorry, it won’t stick.

Hey, Carson, you should start a online “blah, blah, rating system.”
