[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you are missing the point. The point is that they screwed up by cancelling Sunday on Friday. These events all were staffed. APS created this issue, and tried to dial it back. It was a good attempt, but they can't undo it at this point. Many of us are still mad at the original stupid call that put us all here, because it's obvious that the Sunday stuff could have happened if not for the bad Friday call. Thus the residual anger.[/quote]

When I feel myself getting up worked up this much about something minor and inconsequential I remind myself there’s 2 million people displaced in Palestine and 64% of the population has lost a family member or loved one to a bombing since October and it gives me some needed perspective . We simply do not have it this bad. [/quote]

I am the person above and rest assured I am not losing sleep over it. But this is a stupid argument and you know it. I have the capacity to be bothered about multiple things at the same time while also having perspective. Do you?

Arlington consistently makes crappy weather decisions that capriciously take things away from kids that they value. That bothers me. And it will continue to bother me, despite all the other crappy things that happen in the world. We can do something about it, and should, so I will keep speaking up.

And, again, the whole reason I am bothered is because of people like you who treat these things so lightly: "minor and inconsequential" indeed. Do you feel that way about children's birthday parties? The "little" stuff matters to kids. That's why it's not little. That's why it's the essential stuff. Until adults get that and try their darndest to protect that, we keep screwing kids for no good reason. I am not out yelling hateful things at people on the street about this, but do I think our leaders should do more and will I tell them so? Yes indeed.[/quote]
