The Summer Of Despair by Clif Burnett

  Lubbock is now in the grips of a monopolistic beast called LP&L. This "beast" is controlled by the likes of Clayton Isom,Marc McDougal,George Carpenter,Todd Klein and other "human garbage" unfit to be called human. The above people have ruined my home town with their "government greed". Some years ago in Italy citizens got a belly full of a fella named Mussolini and later Mussolini was hung "upside down" in a townsquare. That would never happen here since Lubbock is under a "police state". There are alternatives to a "revolt" like boycotting the Ranch House Restaurant downtown. It's owned by a jerk named Robert Musselman of the Electric Utility Board. Another good target would be United Supermarkets for their hosting of townhall meetings for city council members like Todd Klein this coming Saturday. Angry citizens should also consider boycotting Bacon Heights Baptist Church,it's minister,Jim Gerlt is a "joke" on the city council. The best alternative is to "picket" the homes of the electric utility board and city council. The idea of "bringing shame" to their neighborhood would only be fitting. All of the above ideas are totally legal but will probably not happen. LP&L customers will simply "whimper" on Facebook and Twitter while the dictatorship rolls right over them.

  It's A Damn Shame!!
