Sandman Sentiments #6
Today, most of the town settled down in the idea of Domino, with the demonstration by the lovely Clara Barton of "Trick or Treat" ice cream. While this is one great mystery solved, I visited the source of another one: Dolphinton. Despite the ill publicity afforded by Miss Becky's trial over Jawsica's death, they have decided to continue discussion over the installation of a nuclear refinery.
As the coroner for the area, it is within my duties to represent my profession's interests and offer counsel. The argument in favor claims it will create jobs, setting an example for others to follow, and building town's awareness of security. It is with the last portion that I take issue. So soon after one of their own was found to be mentally unstable, it raises the question of whether there are further undiagnosed cases.
While not a psychologist, I am a student of human nature through my interest in natural philosophy. These two events paint Dolphinton's carefully crafted "paradise" community reputation from their brochures. A nuclear site, no matter how safe and cleanly run, causes pause to tourists' plans to visit. Also, it exacerbates the tension with Sanditon & surrounding towns. The possibility of a domestic arsenal being constructed under our watches would make for a darker tint to our traditionally athletic"Suburban warfare."
If it was in better timing and correlation, I might have applauded Dolphinton's initiative as a progressive measure to pioneer a brave new world. As it is, the counsel has moved to postpone the issue to a later date. They agreed with my supposition that it was "too soon," but want to keep negotiations open with the international energy company Amegi Enterprises. This young corporation is eager to expand to the states, & has an award-nominated human resource structure. It is also praised for its highly interactive & integrative Tesla Movement marketing branding which donates a portion of profits to help set up cheap energy in impoverished communities.
Overall, I learned much in the open discussion of the concerns, opportunities, & issues involved when negotiating with a foreign firm's installation in a community. It has given me a greater appreciation for the job that Mayor Tom Parker and his staff have done in cultivating the accessibility and freedom of a globally based culture within our community. These free sprinkles & craft nights held by Clara Breton at Sanditon Scoops have also become common touchstones over which we can connect and learn from one another. It is good to live in Sanditon.
