Centerville Slums

 
There is a terrible blight that has fallen upon the residents of a South Davis County community!

 It has recently come to my attention ( by way of a response to this blog), that a large portion of the population of Centerville UT. feel that the area south of Parrish Lane is "The Slum Area!" After a review of past associations and conversations I find this to be a truism! Not only the people in general but also City Employees (Not Ron Russel?), who in the past were often required to spend time working in the area (including the mayor?).
    The quality of city services, the type of services offered and the general appearance of this place is enough to make me believe it is a slum! (Time to cast stones yet?)
    As the respondent was so kind to point out to me (in numerous four letter explicatives) this is an area which the rest of the city hopes, would fall into a giant crack in the earth, so that the rest of the city could become more beautiful and more Mormon (apparently a large population of heathens [also read "Lower Class"]  live here abouts. (They don't pay nearly the taxes WE do, We deserve more and better services! They are not paying their fair share"[a true case of us vs. them!]
    I feel that it is a sad statement of humanity, that individuals are allowed, nay encouraged to set themselves upon a crystal pedestal from which they may condemn, belittle and deride their fellows. That other citizens can and do allow this kind of non-Christian, bigoted, this "Hitler-ist, " elitist, type of ideology to continue and prevail to the point that elections have been predisposed in "church" [a whisper campaign in a low voice accompanied with looks of severe disdain ("you wouldn't really vote in favor of a non-Mormon would you?")]
    Come on People!!! wake up!! It's the twenty first century and nobody is trying to kick us out of town any more!!! Lets act like Christians and not the heathen devil worshiper that we accuse others of being!!!
   If we really intend for the world to be a better place for our children then we must first start at home! It is these kind of changes in what we teach others, that will lead to positive and fruitful changes in our Local, State and National government, so that they become honestly responsive to what we want and not leave the door open to outside interests as is the case so often today.
