Those Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy...

...they must first make mad. 

So the ancient Greek saying goes.

Points:

1) I do not think the comment Don Kinniburgh made to the female employee were appropriate.

2) I do no support Victoria Kiinniburgh for Selectman

3) I do not know why Mr. Kinniburgh chose to have an open hearing. Perhaps if Mr. Cavaco was up for re-election I could have found some misguided political strategy in it, but whatever the reason; it backfired.

4)  Mr. Cavaco has made his name by stirring up controversy.

5) If the town leadership thinks that it can save money and effectively service our town veterans than have every right and every obligation to do so.

What though, was the point of this public spectacle that played out in which Mr. Kinniburgh was hung out to dry and demonized by some of our town leaders? The timing, to say the least, is suspect. I highly doubt that the decision to eliminate his post was thought up or decided in the time between Mr. Kinniburgh suspension, and last Monday night. In fact I am sure if Mr. Cavaco really did have it out for Mr. Kinniburgh even a fraction of the amount that Mrs. Kinniburgh says that he did, then I am sure it has been on the table for some time.

Mr. Kinniburgh more often than not needs to stick his foot in his mouth, because he is just one of those people who most of the time seem to lack that inner monologue and just spit out whatever runs through their mind at any given moment. Which makes me think that maybe there was something to his statement when he said that he thought he had "that kind of relationship" with the woman he made the comment to.

So maybe....just maybe...and not to take away from the fact that regardless Mr. Kinniburgh was wrong not matter what the circumstances....maybe timing is everything.

What am I implying?

What indeed....
