All Looks Jaundice to the Jaundice Eye. Loss of Land Ethic; Waterview Anthology.

ACCUMULATIVE IMPACTS OR EFFECTS; AFFECT IS ALL THE SAME; ALL LOOKS JAUNDICE TO THE JAUNDICE EYE.

  Waterview continues scuttle butt has it Whole Foods has not pulled out; why? Not for good sense or sincere concern that is for sure. The present debate is how wills this effect; affect, impact the community. Number one it is not necessary nor wanted so in this background of democratic vacuum might makes right; how dare the citizens of their surrounding living space voice opposition to jobs or speculation of corporations who after all are deemed the same as individuals.  Antebellum south the 3/5th law which stated slaves if counted thou-disenfranchised as voters and as equals under law as property could still be used as population census as to be viable for representation is Congress. The House then ruled more strongly, then the Senate today. So then “citizens united” has the Town Fathers confused and taking sides in favor of what Abraham Lincoln would recognize as the confederacy of States divided from the Union. Is not RDR its glory placed higher than community that they will inflict themselves upon? What vain glorious future do they have in store for us; more corporate accumulative effects; Litter, noise, pollution, undermining science and nature in her gifts?

  What can the Mayor and his corporate allies be thinking; taxes, revenue created for whom, jobs. What is this compared to the future and sense of place we sort after and obtained here by moving to Parsippany? People claim they want tax relief yet they offer nothing in return of services to themselves or community in return. So in the name of tax relief a private corporation is summoned to fill the vacuum and it costs more.

Paying taxes is part of belonging to civil society and those whom object are opportunist for themselves. Who will deal with the scenario of accumulative effects upon our community? Who will? You will. Be ready for more trash litter, traffic and most likely another Brown Space of impervious surface which gives forth not Earth Life but dead space of no value of assessment. This potential blight upon the landscape must be stopped. Where is the State of NJ Stronger than RDR and Corporate Blight? Every person be they from what station in life deserve to have in there close proximity; someplace of nature indigenous landscape that they can experience nature as if man was not here before; god himself in creation. Give us our last landscape here in Pa-sippo-nong..Beauty cannot be measured in feet; it is vast and expansive, like a plant secretly growing in surprise before your eyes. Among the contours and places where the rain falls and the birds sing and chant to each other for our ears to hear.
