Thank you Charter Committee members for volunteering to meet for updating and rewriting the town Charter. Not everyone understands that updates are as simple as pronoun or other word changes and as complex as process and responsibilities changes. You give your and you listen to positive and negative comments. Thank you for your service.

MEDITATING UPON:
“I have been addressing those people as it for decades.”

Or “those people.”

“Those people” are sure to love it. “It”? Hmmm, this could lead to confusion.

AND
“if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I’m thinking it’s a DUCK!”

Duck!! Another potential winner!!

Hmmm, not sure my cousin Donnie Green will buy into it. He’s a mite old-fashioned and accustomed to calling his beloved (and tolerant) wife “Goose.” (Don’t ask me why. I’m the most normal member of my family…and THAT says a LOT!!)

Regardless, times are good when THIS is the most pressing concern!!

David for better times

@ Quinn Elliott….
AGREE 100% with the silliness of that “Birthing Person” and removal of Personal Pronouns….
So, what will the title of “Mother-in-Law / Father-in-Law” become?
“Father’s Day” is coming up on June 20th pray tell what will the idiot re-namers call that?
Hallmark must be very busy trying to redo their greeting cards…
Or, is all this a diversion to keep focus off other things going on behind the scenes?

Stick to the tried and true scheme of man and woman and all will be well. Wonder if the parents of those Charter Review Committee members had a problem with identifying a man or woman? Shucks, even Julius Caesar knew the difference for sure, and he chased and caught the wily and seductive Cleopatra because he knew the difference. I understand that the preferred “Woke” term for a lady is now “birthing people” (it’s in the far outlandish Biden budget proposal). Yes sir, no more ma, mom, mama, mother, ma-ma etc, nope gonna be a birthing person or people!! Man and Woman has worked for thousands and thousands of years, this lunacy has been birthed within maybe 6 or so years. Unsure what the new Woke term is for a man! Stupidity knows no bounds. Maybe the people of Century will insure sanity in this regard.

Might I suggest that the Town of Century has bigger problems than gender neutral pronouns!

I have been addressing those people as it for decades.

No problems here, what’s the big deal now?
