12 TIPS for HELPING our TOWN GO DOWNHILL:
1. Live in the past and talk about how things used to
be. -
2. Attend no meetings of any kind. Keep relying on
rumors for the source of all your news.
3. Bad-mouth city and other local leaders and don't get
involved in making Comanche a better place to live. Be
sure to criticize the way “they” are doing things.
4. Remind others at all times of the cold winters and
hot summers. Point out that people must be rugged to
enjoy life in such conditions.
5. Complain about the police department, fire
department, chamber of commerce, civic groups, school
programs, and local governments.
6. Buy things out of town or from mail order
catalogs. Ignore the firms that are first to come forth
with donations for local worthy causes. Ignore the
merchants who work for the good of the town.
7. Stay away from the schools and don’t support the
youth of Comanche County.
8. Remember that all kids are delinquents, all
businessmen are crooks, and that nothing good can be
said about the old hometown.
9. Keep on saying, “This is the way it’s always been
done. We can’t do it differently.”
10. Forget the meaning of the word “volunteer” and say
one person can’t make a difference.
11. Forget about your hometown’s heritage.
12. Above all, always be skeptical, cynical, and negative
about anything that is intended for Comanche’s
progress and betterment.
