18. Why do you Infer the Worst in People
Wed Jan 16, 2013, 04:08 PM
Jan 2013

I made the comment "the biggest cost" because it is a shame that the people who get the money get so little of it but get almost all of the blame for the size of the budget. I know exactly what a Social Worker does and where they go, I also never said i did not want to pay that cost anymore. You make assumptions of me over the internet based on 2 dimensions of the words themselves, not remembering that there is tone and inflection associated with certain words in a sentence when spoken. That is missed in this type of forum. Relying on a negative view of what you think I meant and responding with some snarky comment meant to demean or belittle me for ideas that you associated with me is not very Democratic. I would hope that a positive view would be the default when there is some vagueness or uncertainty of a persons position, and not a rush to judgment and condemnation.
