Congratulations and thanks to everyone who played any part in this victory. Special thanks to Sue Norton who's speech demonstrated perfectly who the people are and why this house is needed. Thanks also to the councilors who voted today. You have proved that while there may be some who's interests are not in lockstep with the rest that there is a system of recourse that works.
However, while we rejoice we must also remember the "losers", who should they choose to be, can actually be the winners too. While the urge to gloat is strong please remember that the message is carried much more strongly by showing class and leaving them in peace than in being an obnoxious winner.
It's also time we begin to try to find a way to integrate the residents into the SSAFA house. The ultimate way to demonstrate our victory to them is to have them help and support the house. That's the new discussion.
As it should be...
