Why do all these forums have to start at 6:00 PM. What about those who have a real job and don't get off till 5:00PM. Apparently those working blokes don't matter in the grand scheme of things ... they just pay taxes unlike Senios Citizens, and those on welfare so apparently it's a case of keeping paying taxes and keep your mouth shut, your opinions don't count.
6:30 seems reasonable. You don't want it to start to late do you? No one wants to be out till 9pm
My family gets off work at 5:00 to 5:30, they have children that must be picked up at their aunts who cares for them after school. One is a nurse in a doctor's office and she doesn't get off till 5:30. The child of one of my cousin's is blind from birth and her parients have her to care for. I know that other young adults have things that are more pressing than to run off to a political event.
Now in the minds of many, nothing is more important than one of these forums ... NOT EVEN A HANDICAPPED CHILD ... but why should we care?
Let me ask this question ... just how many YOUNG ADULTS attend these forums? GIVE ME NUMBERS, NOT GENERALITIES!
Half of our attendance at the 3rd ward forum were young adults. So that would have been about 70.
