I attended a local com mission meeting and pressed for the adoption of a position that I felt strong ly about When the debate was over, the vote taken and new matters were about to be discussed, a county com mivsMiner remarked to me, "Ed. I agreed with your position here, but I’m sorry you found it necessary to demean the other side lo make your point." It wasn’t until the trip home that the full impact of his comment came to me In my zeal to press my cause. I had not only extolled its virtues, hut had graphically pointed (Hit all the short comings of the competing cause Maybe even to the point of overstate ment I do that often And others do that loo All of us do it much more often than we need to. Or. in a civilized society, ought to Take the prison issue, for example One opponent simply assumed that the disadvantages of a prison so out weighed the advantages that no rational person would favor one And then accounted for several local officials who did by calling them untrustwor thy to serve the public good Untrustworthy to the extent that on all future issues, constant vigilance w«*uld he required That implied that these public officials were more likely than not to thwart the public interest on every given issue Whew That’s zeal But not to be outdone by the opponents, some of those in favor of the prison argued the quality of the i<*bs Not content to point out the benefits of steady, year round, relatively high sabry jobs in the community that the prison might bring, these proponents found it necessary to then point out the comparative disadvantages of many of the jobs now available in the community la»w paying, seasonal, agricultural jobs, they said were less desirable So much so that we don’t need any more like that, in fact we'd probably he better off without the ones we have because they arc usually filled hy undesirable people How do you like that for overstatement ’ And then there's the North South motive slurs They boil down to "My position is correct because I'm a good guy, and my opponent’s position is wrong because he's a had guy." More precisely on this issue there were heard things like "My family has lived in Morrow County for three generations " Translation I'm a good guy, therefore my opinion is entitled to more weight than anyone clse's "He just wants his property values to go up so he can sell out and move on ." Translation He's a bad guy so his opinion should not be considered 'He’s part of the landed gentry ." Translation He’s a bad guy ."I live here by choice, not accident of birth .." Translation I'm a good guy, not a had guy. I was of the opinion that we needed this issue to help get over the school strike issue But we surely didn't need the level of over zealousness that this issue brought This one may be as nearly as hard to live down as the one it was thought to help heal We ll have a new issue again some day My heartfelt hope is that we can act like civilized, rational, mature adults then That we can debate with passion the respective merits of the issue, that we can reach a collec tive decision without having to demean either the opposing view nor the character of those who hold it C o u rt Str«»«»t Mark«»! fre sh • Pro-Am In Our Zeal S u n k ist Jac kal •A n ticip atio n (Xt 16 Morrow County deputy began investigation into an assault complaint Investigation is to continue.
