The PATH Funeral, Part 6 - PATHata!!! 05/27/2011
Well, here's what you've been waiting for... Funeral party guests spanking the snot out of PATH with a baseball bat (it was technically a stickball bat, but that made the PATHata last a little longer). Take a good look at the faces (on the people, not the PATHata) and you'll know how good it felt to pay them back for all the misery, worry and money they have cost thousands of landowners over the past 3 years over a project that was NEVER NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE! The PATHata lasted a lot longer than I thought it would (kind of like PATH itself, who keeps trying to hang on by its fingernails). But, it didn't last quite long enough for everyone to have a turn, unfortunately. I guess this kind of makes up for that WV-PSC status hearing in August of 2009 where the PSC expected us to show up with torches and pitchforks and storm the castle. For some reason, they had police present... and when everyone behaved like ladies and gentlemen, the PSC looked paranoid and foolish. And then there was the Frederick County, MD, Charlie Foxtrot in September of 2010 where PATH hired two undercover sheriffs to threaten people and bodily eject them from a "public meeting" for raising their voices, dropping the "f-bomb" on self-important, pompous asses, or taking pictures of them. Apparently the only time PATH really needed to worry would have been if we had shown up carrying a stickball bat pasted with StopPATH stickers. Go away, PATH. We've now officially finished you off.

This was so much fun. I hope the PATH people realize we are never going to go away and if they ever try to come slinking back and wreaking havoc again, we will be ready for them. I finally took my Stop PATH sign out of my yard, it lasted through several winters, several feet of snow, wind, rain, so after last week's burial, I felt it was time to come down. I felt like the winner of the Super Bowl, World Series, Wimbledon, etc. carrying that back to my deck. Thanks again to all the organizers for a truly great burial party.

It was fun! Who knows what lurks in the evil minds of PATH... but we never behaved according to the script in their "best practices." I intend to keep beating on them until there's absolutely no sign of life! It was never a question of winning.... but when!
