Apparently, we have more people pretending wrong. This time, not only are people pretending wrong, but they're doing so while drunk, so pretend judge Anna must fire them from her pretend government. People have to remember that if you're going to be in pretend judge Anna's pretend government organization, there are lots of little details that you have to master on how to pretend properly, so being drunk really gets in the way. http://www.paulstramer.net/2022/03/what ... s-and.html
So not only is the head of the Ohio pretend government a drunk, but he's misbehaving enough so that people don't want to pretend with Anna any more. And presumably they're not sending in donatons as a result. Ohio is about the 12th state in pretend judge Anna's pretend government that has been fired in the last year (literally). So about 1/4 of her pretend government groups (if they're all actually up and running) have needed new management. Doesn't say much about her management ability.What to Do With Name-Calling, Drunks, and Do-Nothing Coordinators
Lately, all across the country, but especially in Ohio, there have been incidents of name-calling and unsubstantiated accusations made against Assembly Members. All this interpersonal stuff has a tendency to get dragged across my desk and I don't have time to play School Marm for grown up kids.
Let me repeat---- the Federation works with whoever and whatever each State sends us in terms of Coordinators. If you have a do-nothing incompetent serving as Coordinator, it's up to you to find additional people to stand up as Coordinators and get the job done. Find someone competent to volunteer, contact us to have them vetted and trained, and carry on. Any dead weight will man up or move on, and in either case, you can solve your own problem. It's your State, your future, your Assembly. It's all up to each one of you.
As for drunks, they have to be dealt with. They are everywhere, in every possible position and circumstance. It's up to us as adults to recognize when someone has been drinking or drugging and know that they are not acting responsibly when they come to an Assembly function three sheets to the wind. If you have someone acting as an Assembly Officer who engages in this sort of behavior, they need to be replaced. That's the long and short of it. Assembly Officers are in very responsible positions and if they can't be responsible about such basic choices in life, they certainly can't meet the demands of an Assembly office. Find someone else to serve.
Most of the incidents we've had of insults and name-calling have occurred when individuals were imbibing and let the booze or drugs talk for them. You may recall our forceful removal of the Hawaii Coordinator, because he couldn't or wouldn't control his drinking and the name-calling and unsubstantiated accusations he made against others whenever he got lit up. I wish I could say this was a unique circumstance, but it's not. The ravages of alcohol and drug-addiction that harm our whole nation will harm our Assemblies, too, if you stand by and allow these behaviors to run rampant.
If you have problems with drunks or druggies or people who simply cannot maintain a decent level of civility and decorum, you all know what needs to be done. So do it. Confront the offender, don't come running to me. I am not standing there in your State --- you are. And you are all presumed to be responsible adults until proven otherwise. This is your Assembly. You have to learn how to operate it, set standards for it, set goals, organize people and materials, make plans, and solve problems.
And please don't quit. I didn't quit. Life doesn't count if you quit, and if you let booze and bastards win, you don't have much to look forward to. So for your own sakes, have the strength of character and will to stand up when others try to beat you down, when they question your motives, when they call you names, when they berate you as a fool, when they stomp on your dreams. There isn't anyone here at the Federation who hasn't suffered worse.
