Mooney's Bay

[lrt's friend]

I am sorry if this issue has been placed somewhere else.

This has got to be one of most laughable issues that I have heard in a long time.

The best quote was from a young boy who asked his father "Why are they protesting a playground?"

But every 'save the children' cliché is coming out the woodwork.

An early one was that the playground was dangerously close to the water and every child was going to fall into river. Do parents not supervise their children? Or at least teach them common sense safety. Don't run and fall into river.

Today, another priceless quote. "It is all about process, I don't care if we lose the playground" . Where have we heard this before?

I would like to know how many people are actually complaining about this project or is it a miniscule bunch of chronic complainers who have nothing else better to do with their time.

It reminds me of the 'Disneyland in the Experimental Farm' Botanical Gardens and (maybe its the same handful of people) who complained the Dutch windmill out of existence at Mooney's Bay because the tiny number of cars that needed to park next to it would kill every child in neighbourhood.

Is there some kind of psychosis that makes people complain against things that are overwhelmingly beneficial to the community?
