<p>Something I have learned over the years is that there is a lot of peer pressure among local officials, and it takes a rather strong personality to buck that. Along with this pressure, it becomes a very dangerous political move for a councilor/mayor to go against a long-term city manager's or city attorney's recommendation, even if it's wrong. Thanks very much for your compliment, Willy.</p>

<p>Of course, I told them that he took a clue from Mayor Holman and was going to make a proclamation in recognition of pirates. They actually believed it until they couldn't find it in the agenda. But then I saw the classic Bond villain Emilio Largo from Thunderball in my image research and because Mayor Smith took the villainous path of blocking transparency unlawfully, I see a strong resemblance:</p>

<p>It's sad when a person dies at the hands of an official acting against protocol when you've been a law abiding citizen for your whole long life, and then those who killed you project a picture of you as a bad guy when you are actually the victim of poor training and ineptitude. And then of poor police and news reporting.</p>
