Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I've been thinking about the Talofofo mayor and the fact that the villagers want to oust him from his job because of some personal things that he did that didn't meet with their approval.(As if they-the villagers- were perfect and were without fault!!!) We're all sinners and we're all stained in one way or another, but the commissioner was elected and there's a part of the law that dictates that if so many people sign a petition, there can be a recall and can boot him out of his position...there are enough signatures so it's a go and the vote will happen this September and he's sure to be ousted-if all those who signed the petition vote to oust him.
The commissioner can go to the election commission and see who signed the petition and see if he can't change those people's minds....or, he can save the taxpayer's money....all $46K plus dollars and resign, saving himself, his family and his new SO embarrassment....
It's such an odd thing for the village to be so righteous on this matter considering the morals of this day and age. I'm sure that the stats for teen pregnancy in Talofofo is as high as in other villages, the drug problems, shacking up, etc as high, et cetera, et cetera.....it seems so hypocritical to call the commissioner on his morals when the very morals of those signing the petition are in question as well...but hey, they aren't an elected official, so I guess it's okay if they do it, but don't want the commish to do it...'do as I say, not as I do!'.
It'll be interesting to see if the villagers (most of those that call the afternoon talk shows are mostly men-totally hypocrites---bet you can see their cars at various massage parlors and whine and whine about the commish) oust the 'sinner' out of his office.
You can be sure that nothing will happen to the others that hold high positions that have wives and two or three significant others....gosh, talk to a few people and you might hear them say that it's part of the culture...so, we're just selective about who we want to be 'cultured'!
