Democracy in Action

On Tuesday, while the entire nation was absorbed by another Presidential candidate announcing, the writer was attending his first City Council meeting in Cape May, N.J. - a town that recently demoted its chief of police.  Small town politics can be fascinating. Where else can you stand at the "mic" - insult the mayor to his face - and not have the plug pulled as they do in the Congress of the United States. All parties were heard, no blows were struck and many participants adjourned to the neighborhood pub to lubricate their vocal chords. Can't wait for the "season" to begin.
