The approaching Blue Moon won't be full until next week, but it must account for my agreeing with Tommy DeSeno this week. "Once in a blue moon" as they say. In "Political Lesson," he refuses to apologize for "taking on a priest" and holds fast to his JSRM opposition. Bravo Tommy! Great letters too in triCity -- from "Aunt Charlotte" about not bringing "coals to Newcastle" and from Richard Schlossbach about the arts. And Carolyn Curtin's letter in The Coaster which responds to some of our local clergy. More arts, books, retail traffic, revenue producers -- yes! More tax-exempts -- no! More accountability and efficiency from our 159 current tax-exempts -- yes! I've no intention to re-open any old debates here, so for those who disagree, please see _http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Shaker/_ (http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Shaker/) .
