Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo - " brilliant " and useless


  This topic of " promoting Rhode Island " has been the only topic on local Talk Radio all day. These right wing types now and then get some things right.
  They make fun of the honoring of Governor Gina Raimondo as not only " brilliant " but among the top 50 most influential leaders in the world ? In practice she is about as " brilliant " as Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama is " peace-nik .

   Puffing up individuals is mostly a ruling class game. Do these sainted individuals now move on to make the slightest difference in the lives of ordinary people ?

   Our phony politicians - Republicans as well as Democrats - have no sense of objective reality or much respect for truth. They do believe in the magic of marketing. The culture of narcissism teaches them to cherish the " right image " above all.

   Some of that money promoting " cooler and warmer " Rhode Island could have been used to clean our beaches and our parks. Just a few weeks ago a friend in his parked car at Warwick's Oakland Beach was disgusted by all the discarded cigarette butts in sight. How can responsible officials not notice this blight ?

   We have enough " brilliant " people in high office. We need more useful , more decent people- not lacking in common sense.

   What has any graduate of Harvard Business School or Harvard Law School done for your neighborhood lately?

   Why not make Rhode Island wonderful in reality ?
Close up Oakland Beach is less idyllic
