You truly do underestimate the electorate's intelligence.
Not at all, I just don't think being a school trustee outside of the area will carry the weight you seem to think it will. Clearly we have differing views on this.

You might have thinner skin than you'd like to admit, though.
Thanks for the concern, however I am no stranger to forum battles.
I have been burned by far more skilled debaters than you.

I must admit though I'm not a fan of the far-right fringe. I think they represent some of the worst, small-minded folks in society. Anyone who hangs with them I view with suspicion.
Well, there, now we have some honesty coming through. You think I am far-right and and small-minded.
Perhaps we should have a beer some time and you will see how far off base you are.
