In a previous post I addressed whether Southbridge
Town Councilor Kristen AuClair had misled voters about her role in denying the
historical evidence on the existence of dinosaurs.
During her campaign for her current seat on the
Council she claimed that her comments on the matter were little more than
satire.
As another
blogger has noted, “Sadly, I think they actually believe
what they’re saying, although we may never know for sure. Between their
Facebook page, Twitter feed and Youtube channel, they seem dumbfoundingly
earnest. And would anyone put this
much effort into their website if they didn’t
really mean it?”
Whether or not Councilor AuClair was pursuing an
earnest belief or was in fact engaged with others in a high level piece of
performance art, one of her group’s efforts, in which she was involved, raises
serious concerns.
