What Should We Call ‘Em?
I’m beginning to think that we need a name for all the political activists who have moved into Kootenai County and are trying to show us rubes the way by transforming our bit of paradise to conform with their utopian dreams. After the Civil War, southerners used the term “carpetbaggers” to describe the opportunistic political figures from the north who migrated seeking power. Maybe we should call the political emigres trying to take over Kootenai County local and legislative government “Reclaimers” or “Tranformers.”
Question: What do you think?
