Has It Been 3 Years Already?

Yes, it was March of 2006 when I predicted that the gUO would "implode" before this process was over http://sayyestofishers.blogspot.com/2006/03/guo-geist-untied-operation-meets-for.html and it appears that I was right.

The gUO must now convince something like 36% (and why not 51%?) of the remonstrators to agree to let them negotiate with Fishers on the remonstrators behalf. Judge Nation probably just wants to avoid another SW Clay debacle by assuring himself that the negotiators actually represent the parties involved in the suit. Melle Rashelle Quaid has already gone public with the fact that she would like to take Fishers up on the "three year abatement" deal that Fishers offered them over a year ago. Too bad that deal is no longer on the table. Doh! This had to have frosted the donuts of the "Give Me Liberty or...else" crowd in geist.

Indeed, everything that the gUO has tried to do; 1.) Form their own town(s), 2.) Change state laws or 3.) Negotiate with Fishers has resulted in utter failure. Why would any sane geist resident trust these amateurs to do anything right? Even the atgeistatfishersblog.joke.crap guy suggested negotiation with Fishers a few months ago but was soundly told to "sit down and shut up" since, as we all know, he's not even a Hamilton County resident.

Now I must say that I've thoroughly enjoyed the last 8 months or so, debating with the geist annexation foes on the IndyStar news comments section. The time has come though for me to get this blog moving again. So much has happened that I'm afraid I'll need to address everything piece-by-piece.
