It is amazing to watch the citizens of Brady be carried away in a wave of ancient gossip carried to new levels in a Facebook Frenzy. It brings back memories of Junior High School - the childish jealousies and cruel rumors that only juveniles can think important. It is just silly and amounts to nothing. They are personality clashes.

Better Brady Now is written for the adults in Brady who care about principles, facts and truth. I you disagree with BBN or we get something factually wrong, please contact us. We will be happy to make corrections or publish your views if they deal with fact or principle.

Reasonable adults can disagree without being disagreeable. If you just want to "vent" (a vent is where eggs come out of a chicken - a fact from FFA Poultry Judging over a half century ago), take it to Facebook or start your own website.

That does not mean that BBN will shy away from controversy. Facts are embarrassing to those with secrets. Principles are even more controversial. Brady is divided, like America itself, on whether the citizens own the government or the government owns the people. That is a matter of principle.

We come down firmly on the side that says that the people own the government, particularly at the local level. If you believe the local government should act in secrecy and force the people of Brady to pay and obey, then we disagree.
