I apologize for my rant. I just find it upsetting that history is being permitted to disintegrate while we sit and watch.
As many of you have probably realized by now, I have little or no respect for a Federal government that tries to regulate my life when they can't even carry out the very few responsibilties required of them by the Constitution!
And having visited Scranton many times back when My Dad was the minister at the huge stone Elm Park United Methodist Church near the old Lackawanna train station, I heard many stories around the dinner table about "Scranton politics," which, as a prominent local clergyman, Dad often was invited to become involved in. He always declined. He said it would be disingenuous to present himself as a man of the cloth, an example of morality to his parishoners, while working hand-in-hand with the corrupt governmental officials and politicians of Scranton.
But let's not go any further with this ...
... Let's get back to the Mantua Mikado and the feedwater heaters!
