Comments on: Donald Trump's Scotland Golf Plan Rejected http://finally-woken.com/2007/12/donald-trumps-scotland-golf-plan-rejected/ Four seasons in one day, two countries in one heart Fri, 04 May 2012 19:22:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brenda in Maine http://finally-woken.com/2007/12/donald-trumps-scotland-golf-plan-rejected/#comment-134 Brenda in Maine Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:11:00 +0000 http://finally-woken.com/?p=75#comment-134 I am sick at heart to hear on National Public Radio that Donald Trump wants to develop a mega-complex in your beautiful country. This news is being kept very low key here in the United States. Living in Maine we have many New Yorker's come to our rural state. They have bought up every inch of our coastal property, pushing out the fisherman due to exhorbitant high taxes, pushing out our senior citizens who can't live in the homes they were born and raised in; all without helping the infrastructure of our state. Mainers' have modest incomes compared to the rest of our country. We are the highest taxed state in the United States. Traffic and smog created by rich people, the mean-spirited nasty behavior, "I'm better than you," will all be visited upon you, if you allow Donald Trump and his ilk into your country. <br/><br/>I love Scotland. I love it with a passion. My student's here in Maine listen to Dougie MacLean and Peat Bog Faeries. My computer which I attach to the television, has pictures of your castles, Dunnett Head, The Isle of Skye, The Isle of Lewis. Ullapool still calls me, the smell of peat, the smell of the ocean and the beauty and solitude and friendliness of St. Andrews. You take the horrible chance of losing it all. Here in Maine we say, "Once the camel has its nose under the tent....."<br/><br/>I was blessed to visit Scotland for one full month in 2005. I took my two teenage children with me to experience the history and culture of your wonderful country. It was the finest vacation I have ever had. We stayed in bed and breakfasts and small locally owned hotels. Your greatest gift to the world is your independence. Your rural, steadfast, practical people is your greatest asset. <br/><br/>I realize I am one voice. But Maine has seen the rich come in, and Maine's lifestyle has been diminished in every way. Please save yourselves while you still have time. I am sick at heart to hear on National Public Radio that Donald Trump wants to develop a mega-complex in your beautiful country.
