Do You Really Think I Write All That Appears on the Blog

I am a life long Peru resident and have many friends, acquaintances and relatives living here. We have great residents.  I don't criticize people but oft times do criticize government for what they say and do. Everyone should do a bit more of it.

 I have no clue why people keep writing in saying I make all the comments here that criticize the city, don't you understand the way in which a blog is administered? Some of you constantly complain and criticize comments made by others also.  I like to think that most of you have good intentions.

Do you ever criticize the Gov. of Illinois?
Do you ever criticize our local Senator or Representative?
Do you ever criticize our state legislature?
Do you ever criticize our Senators in Washington.
Do you ever criticize Congress?

Evidently there are people in Peru who believe the elected officials in Peru should never ever be criticized.  If you believe that then you are not a very good citizen of this community.

They don't need constant pats on the back and handshakes, they get their fair share of that. They deserve to know what people think of how the government is working or not. The taxpayers are funding this government very well on all levels

I am sure that there are those who will throw this back at me who don't realize that criticism at times is justified and criticism and suggestions made to the government make a better city, state and federal government.

Lois: You know for a fact that some individuals do believe that you yourself are responsible for each and every comment posted on your blog. How many times have I tried to express to those individuals that all comments that you post are followed by your name. "Readers" if a post is followed by anonymous (such as this one will be) then Lois did not write it. Again, her name will be listed on any comment that she herself posted.
