WHY WOULD I BE ANGRY?

I have heard recently that I am being portrayed as being angry in need of anger management. I even received an email from a steering committee member with some web sites that might help me to control my anger.  I have also been accused by a “steering committee adviser” to have “assaulted” the steering committee’s secretary, Olga.  Just to be perfectly clear:  I am angry, very angry. BUT I know how to control my anger and also how to protect myself from liars.  The only 2 times in my life that I have spoken to Olga were recorded from at least 10 seconds before entering the office to at least 10 seconds after I left.  Anybody that wants to listen to the tapes is welcome to do so. Call me or email and we will make an appointment to listen.

One of the lies during the first of the 2 meetings was Olga shouting that “Chuck Thomas pulled a gun on Richard.”  I asked her to say that again and clearly she stated “Chuck Thomas pulled a gun on Richard.”  I asked her if she was sure and she shouted that she was sure because she typed the report for the denuncia.    What a deplorable damn LIE! 

During that meeting she told me that they were getting 3 proposals and bids from different security companies. I asked if the Valle Escondido Home owners were going to be able to see and approve the choice. She said that of course we would. I explained that I felt it VERY important that we receive not just a phony cost comparison but that we receive proposals that compare the quality of the service, the experience, and the history of both the companies quoting and their employees.  If we didn’t do that, we could wind up saving thousands by hiring a couple guys to ride around in a borrowed golf cart.  And those guys could be a great threat to the safety of our homes.    

I did not even get to my house 20 minutes later before I found out that the steering committee had new guys coming in 3 days and our current security contract was cancelled. Also, attorney Hector Bonilla disclosed to several of the homeowners the outrageous offer of $22,000 from the Homeowner’s account was to be given as a BONUS for BCS to go away. As part of that offer, BCS would drop ALL lawsuits!!  Two members of the steering committee actually had the gall to write that attorney Bonilla should go back to law school and learn ethics!!  They actually called us, the homeowners, a “3rd  party”.    The Valle Escondido Homeowners are the highest level of power in the Valle and these unelected steering committee members, those who profess to be working for us, are threatening attorneys because they rightly told us what was being offered.    Outrageous!   So yes, I am angry. Very angry.

Rich Heffner, who explained that he is a ½ member of the steering committee, asked me if I was a US citizen. Perplexed,
I answered that indeed I was. He then explained that I should be happy with our present form of government in the Valle, I.E. “ a representative form of government whereupon we have someone represent us to make decisions.”    Well,  Mr Heffner, a couple things to make the analogy correct:

1)   The US has a constitution to protects us from $%#@!#^&*
2)   Before someone is elected to represent us, there are primaries, debates, campaigns, and election. 

Do you honestly think that is what we have in the Valle?   NO! You guys self elect each other!  You have a committee that last year demanded that either Dr. Carol Brunner(phd) resign for her obnoxious and disgraceful behavior or the whole committee would resign.  She resigned.   A few months later, after Rod Parker’s term expired, she was again “elected” to the committee and her buffoonery and lies are again above the signature_”Your Steering Committee.”    Outrageous!   Yes! I am angry.

Mr. Heffner, I think your actions are more closely compared to North Korea or maybe Hitler’s Germany.  

When I made the statement   “Mr. Heffner, I think your actions are more closely compared to North Korea or maybe Hitler’s Germany ”     I was not referring to the action of Mr. Heffner personally. I was referring to the actions of the steering committee as a whole.  I do not even know Mr. Heffner other than the time I spent in the steering committee office on July 17.
At that time I told all those present that I would be very happy to discuss the situation in the Valle with them. It was obvious that they only know one side of the predicament we are in.

And the blog entries mostly  coming from California do remind me of the speeches of Joseph Goebels in the 1930s.

And once again,  I would be very happy to meet with any member of the steering committee to explain how I see our situation.

I will have more to say tomorrow.
