You are concerned about how people with different opinions from yours sound? Kinda' funny you should invoke "sound" in your response, since it's the longstanding and well-established Sound of Freedom from which the town of Coupeville apparently seeks some sort of sanctuary. Okay, so let's agree that Coupeville, WA apparently wants some sort of sanctuary from the US Navy on Whidbey Island, WA. Considering how much $$ the Navy tax dollars generate for Coupeville (and all of island County), this grant denial seems like an appropriate response by the Island County Commissioners. Moreoever, this is actually perhaps what is about to happen on a much larger scale nationally, for those communities for whom creating a "sanctuary" is all-important in their psyche.
