Dear Editor:

We often write too much when trying to get a point across on just about any issue. I will not go “roundabout” with you but try to stimulate you to carefully measure and think about what you, as taxpayers and voters, might have to decide.

This is a quote from a person by the name of Idries Shah. I think it pertains to all in a “roundabout” way: “What is sometimes thought to be clever is significantly often merely an advanced form of foolishness.”
