Mr. Souza,

We regret having to inform you that the American flag is still flying over the post office. Thus, the American way of life is alive and well and thank the good Lord. Clearly your communistic "We must only have what our poorest can afford" mentality doesn't fly hear, again, our American flag flies here. If there are people working two jobs (and I do mean if) that's called being an American. Tiverton should not be restrained from improving because we have people who work hard... are you serious? Frankly, I think you're generalizing and you just don't want to personally open your dusty old coin purse. You are the problem. If people like you still had your way, we'd still be using out door plumbing and sharing a telephone line with our neighbors. It's time to grow... actually, it was time to grow about 15 years ago. Two of our school buildings are literally infested with asbestos, our fire chief drives a hoopty, 28 police officers is not enough and our library is in need of better staff and more staff. We need trash pickup, street lights, better infer structure and less Dollar Generals. We NEED to stop electing the same people and expecting different results!!! Duh?!

Clearly this town has out grown your ability to comprehend the future, may I recommend a quaint little dacha in the chilly area known as Siberia? I'm sure I could rangle up a few thousand people that would love to help you move (and all the others who live in the land of make believe). Thanks in advance for giving me one more thing to thank my parents for... which would be the immunity to the disease in Tiverton known as "that's the way we've always done it itis"

PS John... you may want to see a doctor about that... sounds like you've got a pretty bad case!
