Under the Big Top: Life at Honest Weight

In the last few days I have been reminded how happy I am not to be a member of the Honest Weight Food "Coop", aka, the Honest Weight Food Corporation. Recently, two members of the Board resigned. The two who resigned, Kate Doyle and Rebekah Rice, wrote letters to the letters to the editor section of one of the Coop 'newspapers", the Coop Voice, stating their reasons why the resigned. Long story short: Finances. A day or so later these letters disappeared rather like commissars in the USSR and Board members in the HWFC to be replaced by a statement about the need to avoid conflict at the "Coop". Now, however, the letters are back again, by popular demand the Voice says, showing, I suppose, that repressed history inevitably reemerges at some point.
