"If we spent less time selfishly complaining
about minor inconveniences and embrace the cultural expressions and
creativeness of those who make things happen we might smile a bit
more."
Ratmann, I said the same thing to a bunch of selfish peace activists.
If they would stop their annoying complaining, we could smile and enjoy
our lovely wars. If they understood that citizenship is an obsessed
selfish act like you do, we would all feel happy happy joy joy and love
for our creative wars.
The funny thing is that when you positive thinking entitled rats hear
about a flash mob, you scream the loudest for "justice" and revenge.
Why don't you get stop and frisked and then send your love? Will you
smile when the creative one's yank away your rights as a citizen or your
kids rights? It would be a minor inconvenience isn't that right, Rat?
This happy happy joy shit is just another level of bullshit. It brings
the same amount of happiness as all other addictions. But you mindless
one's use the law of positive thinking as a weapon against honest citizens.
Give up your health care and send your kids to an Afghan village, and
then sing your happy happy joy song. If you really believe that
parklets, gadgets, and propaganda bring happiness, you simply delude
yourself.
Yes, you are selfish when you ridicule the citizens, who actually speak
up and work for justice. The route to true happiness is revealed in the
dharma.

I'm sorry Glenn, I wasn't confusing your stupidity with your enjoyment.
I'm afraid that my feelings on the parklet are less than emotional.
It's a fun, temporary display. I do however enjoy and support most
creative forms of street art (or whatever you are going to call it in
rebuttal). If the temporary inconvenience of losing two parking
spaces is making it hard for people to manage they're parking needs
then you can take my spot for the time being. let me know and I will
save a spot for you with my folding chairs (I stole them from Clark
Park btw). Much of the reasons for living in this neighborhood is the
never ending diversity of ideas and creative displays that our
neighbors demonstrate in many ways. The city is a tight squeeze and
we're all in it together. If we spent less time selfishly complaining
about minor inconveniences and embrace the cultural expressions and
creativeness of those who make things happen we might smile a bit
more.
As for Clark Park... it's my children's "backyard". We are thankful
that there are changes being made and that the Park has become a more
friendly space for most. The amount of folks that use the north side
of the park speaks for the positive change that's happening. I'm not
going to sit here and say that every change is good and that any
change is going to satisfy everyone but I'm not an angry guy with too
much time and a personal agenda. I have a family, a real job which
keeps me from becoming obsessed with every blade of grass that is
damaged and every fart that is expelled from the "powers" working hard
to make West Philly Safer, more creative, and a great place to raise a
family.
Lastly, I will have to confess that my "love" for Siano is undeclared
as is my love for Glenn. Sorry.
I've now addressed my shallow, selfish feelings about these things.
I'm out. I will continue to enjoy reading the ever so entertaining
discussions like this one. Rock on Glenn.
Love, Rat

Dude... get a life or at least take the time to enjoy the one you have.
Oh Ratmann, let's not confuse enjoyment with stupidity!
Thoughtful happy grownups have been discussing the flawed dealings of
government.
Your type of ad hominem interjection is rather pathetic and bullies the
listserv readers; "Glenn and others will shut up because I call Glenn
miserable. My beloved Siano and Parklet have been brilliantly defended.
And I didn't need to defend or support my Parklet with no damn rational
statements. I'm happy, happy, happy!"
Rat, if you're too stupid to profess your love for Siano or represent your
positions on the Parklet, let the discussions for the mature adults!
Happy and contented,
Glenn
