Opinion: You may help name town park

Last week’s news of the Town of Zionsville’s decision to forestall until 2015 construction of the roundabout at Ford Road and Bloor Lane was an appropriate move. There are myriad property-acquisition issues that need to be settled first. It’s prudent for the town to get those out of the way before transforming the intersection. The town said land-acquisition of a key parcel was been complicated by the fact that the property is in foreclosure. Too, the town said, the construction would have been during the school year, and that would have posed transit problems for the buses and other vehicles that traverse that junction. When the town finally acquires the land and the roundabout is built, it will pay off in spades for resident motorists.

In recent weeks, we’ve been taken to task for our “Republican views.” Here’s a concise summary of our responses: WRONG! People are quick to confuse conservatives, which we are, with Republicans, which we’re not. Well, we are, sort of, because the antiquated primary election laws force you and us to declare a party of choice. So, we hold our noses tighter than a C-clamp could and reluctantly select R. That has to change. We sincerely doubt there will be revision of the law anytime soon, but that’s beside the point. We’re for what seemingly most of the rest of the nation is against: less spending, smaller government, priority on justice and defense and zero self-interest at any level of government. We may be classified as dreamers, but that’s who we are, and that’s what some of our editorial comments in this space stand for. We firmly believe the two-party system to be not any longer what our founding fathers brought us. It’s drenched in everything we just told you we’re against.
