one might come away with the idea that a crisis in Garrett County far exceeds the magnitude of the crisis in the global financial markets. The usual cast of characters (the editor, Jon Boone and John Bambacus) have all weighed in to express their opinions in a single issue. The hyperbolic lamentations of Mr. Bambacus concerning the county commissioners decision to exclude a vague, ambiguous definition of "rigdelines" from the county's comprehensive plan summarizes the collective exaggerations of this imagined crisis by the usual cast of characters:
"Future generations will never forget their historical destruction of our very way of life."
This strikes me as odd considering all I read about this week was that the commissioners approved a new comprehensive plan. Perhaps Mr. Bambacus got advanced word that they secretly planned to poison the waters, denude the forests and generally pillage the entire countryside. For his part, the editor, also uses the fear of lost tourism dollars in an effort to further exaggerate the level of crisis. Gentlemen, don't we all have enough problems to deal with before we start dreaming up new ones?
