Betsy clarke of Ocala, FL In order to keep the schools open and the town growing there is no reason why the town cannot take in a few low income people. There are good and bad just like there are in middle and upper income people. It is up to the town officials to try to make sure that whom ever they get that they are carefully watched and kept in the fold of the Island people; and not shut out as outsiders so that they are part of the Island. There is no reason why they will not conform to the love and the rules of the Island. At one time if you were not a Islander you were tolerated but you were never accepted. You were always knowned as; who ever you married spouse, you never had an idenity of your own. I don`t think that it is that way any more excpt with a few die hard Islanders. The way I look at it we were all born equal in God`s eyes and we all eat the same, we all s--- the same, we all smell the same, so I guess that means that we are still all the same except some had a little better break inlife than others and that was by God`s choice and they were very fortunate, but that does not make them any better. There is also the differance of some people take the unGodly path of talking about their neighbors and being very unkind and hurtful, where others are very thoughtful of their neighbors and would do anything for them. Now if that makes them bad people than I would rather be bad then be in the class with ones who think that the are the cats meow. NOW LONG ISLANDERS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE THAT I AM REFERING TO!report abuse
