Not to make excuses for Peyton on this but it seems to me there is more going on then we realize.
I don't really know what makes this guy tick. Peyton has shown again and again a complete lack of desire or ability to lead. Case after case of Jacksonville falling through the cracks continue to this moment. FSU or Shifting Mass Transit funds to pet road projects, it all equals neglect.
Or does it? Could there be some design behind this? Is it really the mayors fault?
I recalled an old college book on the "Ages of Man", which I just pulled from the shelf. A quick flip brought me back to a test that included things like:
Can you balance a book on your head for the entertainment of children?
When reading to a child, do you sit for hours on your heels?
In college did you ever open beer bottles with your teeth?
Is your head attached vertically to your neck?
Less than five feet tall?
Covered in Red Hair?
As I read on I became convinced that our mayor isn't a pure a pure homosapien. This rare condition effects more people in Jacksonville then any other American City. Thus the mayor feels inferior and will never be free to build bridges, compose symphonies, and create the worlds greatest city. If this is true it could be proved through DNA. A slight Neanderthal strain means that he will occasionally have spells of primitive behavior, walking around aimlessly and babbling wildly. If he lived in California, no one would notice, but he claims to live in Jacksonville. A Mayor with these traits can still function quite well in the modern world, but should avoid eating in fancy restaurants unless it's owned by a family member.
My best guess is that his Pleistocene heritage is predominant. If he were a larger size man, he could well consider a career in pro football. However, unfortunately, his genetic makeup seems sloth like; there is no place for these sad cases in normal human society. Yet a career in politics is highly recommended.
Lead on Peyton! Remember we're all just one DNA point from our ancestors. Besides why does this FSU thing have to be mutually exclusive. We're talking DBCC and a regional medical center, and ready made "turn key" facilities -vs- UNF/JU/UF/FCCJ/MAYO, seems like a no brain'er that we could still get the master school in this grouping. Pulling the LAW and the high rollers into the fight might even make them consider some new construction...about 100 miles NORTH of Daytona Beach. It's never to late, it's not like moving 20 students will break the State system.
