Worth quoting

 "I haven't failed. I've found 10,000 ways that don't work."

                 - Thomas Alva Edison

  1. Local government cannot afford to experiment with the welfare of the community, in the way an entrepreneur such as Edison can. They best tread lightly. Anyone seeking to "fundamentally transform" Shoreline should be met with tar and feathers.

    "...one of the strongest factors of social stability is the inertness, nay, rather active hostility, with which human societies receive all new ideas. It is the crucible in which the dross is separated from the genuine metal, and which saves the body-social from a succession of unprofitable and possibly injurious experimental variations." Karl Pearson
