He never says much. He mostly listens. But I've grown quite fond of retired pig farmer Sterling Raber, a Lehigh County commissioner since 1981. Last night, he was awarded an IronPigs snout by an appreciative Bill Leiner.You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Thanks for linking to my blog, I really appreciate the exposure!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up on the fringes of the Valley, all I ever saw was farmland. All I see now is suburbs. Of course, there are still pockets of farmland, orchards, or just plain forest, but they're getting more and more scarce. The change in the Valley is intersting because it is palpable, I wonder where it'll go...
Thanks again!
