Gookin: We Shall Overcome …

If I decipher Dan Gookin’s latest post on OpenCHRG.com , he’s now comparing his small band of anti-LCDC activists to Spartacus, the early Christians in Rome, the colonialists of this country, the anti-war movement of the ‘60s, and Woodward & Berstein. In an article titled “At Your Own Peril,” Gookin lists a number of groups or individuals who turned the world upside down despite their small numbers in the beginning. To his credit, Gookin is right that his band almost grabbed a gold ring or two in the recent City Council elections. However, it remains to be seen if his group can sustain the momentum when the economy changes. In a comment to the recent court decision ordering Jim Brannon to post a $40,000 bond to continue his suit against incumbent Mike Kennedy, Gookin reveals he hasn’t changed his opinion of the people in this place he calls home, terming it “Rotten to the Coeur d’Alene” here (6:22 p.m. item). And he wants to be my councilman?

Question: Do you agree w/what Gookin seems to be saying — that the outlook of his small group on community issues eventually will be the prevailing opinion in Coeur d’Alene?
