MAYOR SHOULD 'LEAD PEOPLE IN RIGHT DIRECTION'

Why on earth would people think that someone coming to a pain
management clinic is a threat to their children?

I guess they have never suffered severe pain. The last thing on your
mind would be child molesting. Oh, wait, you are assuming they are
drug addicts and gang bangers aren't you? This is the last group of
citizens that will likely come here.

They are busy chasing another fix and not trying to get
better.

It seems typical "not-in-my-backyard" thinking that is seen again and
again in Burlington. This is the worst money waster I have seen.

Someone trying to do good in our community having to spend more
defending themselves that could go to caring for those in need.

You all know who you are. You pretend there are no problems in
Burlington of a social nature. There are no wife beaters, no poor, no
lonely, no homeless, no mentally or physically handicapped just to
name a few.

People with health problems involving pain of this nature are as
harmless as you get. Who would have the strength?

We should offer our loving support to the doctors and patients that
need this treatment.

Give them your prayers and emotional support instead of throwing up
your hands in the air and running around like Chicken Little.

Mr. Mayor, please nip this nonsense in the bud right away. I know you
are a caring and compassionate man - lead the people in the right direction.
