Thank God someone in this place called "Reston" has a sense of humor. My neighbors seem to live in fear of the RA -- so stupid -- when we should revolt! This is like living under communism -- I'm surprised we aren't all issued regulation Eddie Bauer sports wear for all REstonites to wear! <BR/><BR/>It's easier to leave our homes rotting than to deal with the bureaucracy at the RA. I'm pretty sick of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-52924261795711230612009-03-10T20:10:00.000-04:002009-03-10T20:10:00.000-04:00To the above Anonymouse: <BR/><BR/>As one of the self-described dirtbags who sometimes posts on this site, shall I point out that, first of all, this is a satirical Website that pokes fun at the more inane aspects of life here? Maybe you need to develop a sense of humor?<BR/><BR/>Second, before you cast aspersions on anyone who posts here, perhaps consider that many of us in fact do volunteer to try to improve our community. <BR/><BR/>Third, you might also want to consider why the RA, the DRB in particular, has the reputation it does. The RA always seems to find a way to do whatever it wants to do -- regardless of what people in this community may actually want -- often by gaming the system. Think I'm exaggerating? More than 250 people (dirtbags all, I guess) signed the petition asking for a review of the stream restoration project before any more work was done. Needless to say, the RA is just plowing onward with the project, albeit with a bit more restraint thanks to the citizen outrage over the massive deforestation of the first phase.<BR/><BR/>Since you suggest we offer solutions, here's one for the DRB: focus on the big issues and stop micromanaging on such questions as red mulch and white stone. The Onion couldn't make up this stuff if it tried!<BR/><BR/>I would gladly offer orange-flavored Metamucil to anyone offended by this Website, but then again orange is not a DRB-approved color.The Reston Resistancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-44967954564919935322009-03-07T19:29:00.000-05:002009-03-07T19:29:00.000-05:00Stop your whining you panty waist! Step up like a man/woman and volunteer to be a member of the DRB....they are members of your community, like you, voted to the DRB by members like you!!! <BR/><BR/>But I suspect like most of the dirt bags on this blog, you want to just make disparaging remarks about problems with the Association instead of offering solutions. Be a part of the solution, again you whimp step up and volunteer and see how long you last before they drag your butt across Reston Pkwy!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
