You must understand Linda,
I am beyond the Bolshevik approach to the HOA problems which you are proposing.
To me the bottom line is:
Am I landlord or not?.....
Am I free or not?......
Am I in servitude or not?......
If the answer is yes an abolishment of the HOA is the only answer.
Uplift yourselves above the bolshevism people!
Freedom is the all!
