They say you can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps: but Cornell’s rural policies can be ratified without any participation or representation by the county’s rural residents – and successively built upon with no more foundation than the existence of a previously ratified policy: creating a stairway to maximum profits; on the backs of a poor and marginalized rural population.
The sole justification needed for these policies is the second generation progeny of “the greater good”: any action can be excused.
This could never happen in a legitimate government: but it’s not a government – it’s a gang. It’s the flagrant abuse of corporate and political power that insures that these policies can’t be questioned, publicly debated or written about, or even need to be ethically defended.
It’s a level of hypocrisy so rarefied that the Cornell elite claim that their policy driven, urban sprawl bedroom community in rural Lansing; is not only the fault of the rural community [they label it rural sprawl]; but that the only solution is to increase it into a high-density “urban node” with sewers and municipal water.
And that the CAFO overlords that they have forced onto Lansing’s rural poor: are the polluting and environmentally destructive farms that they oppose.

I remember streaming a reality crime show where the prosecutor said that they have so much evidence: their biggest problem was how to present it all to the jury. This is my problem.
I have so much documented evidence: and it all points in the same direction – a conspiracy. No journalist, politician, or authority at any level has acknowledged my request for help. But no one has dared to debate the evidence.
Like Dorian Gray; Tompkins County’s Collegiate Progressives feel that their public persona is safe: as long as the results of their actions can remain hidden.
