KING OF THE HILL

Remember playing king of the hill as a kid? One kid would get on top of the hill and the rest would try to knock him off. If the kid was too big you would partner up with another kid and knock the big kid off. Then you or your partner would take over the hill leaving the other behind. Is this starting to sound like Preble politics to you yet? Life manifests itself in similar ways in just about everything we do, starting from childhood till the day we die. Some bully always wants to be king of the hill and makes alliances with others to stay there. What promises they make, what lies they tell, whatever is necessary to stay king of the hill is done. Human nature is a fascinating subject, especially if the subjects you are watching are so darn entertaining. Now I'm starting to wonder if all that will change. There are going to be at least one maybe three good people on the board after January. What fun will that be for me if the Preble Town Board starts doing the right thing? Oh well, maybe I can start going to the county legislature meetings in that case.
