Usually when a town meeting gets hot and heavy there are two sides like Republicans and democrats. There is that down the Cape but there are several other sides when it come to handling the shark/seal problem ,so whatever you say you are not going to face opposition from one other side, you are going to get hit from several groups with different agendas. The Cape Cod towns gave up on having opinion meetings as they got too confrontational. -Tom
Heh, the town meeting in the movie Jaws is ample illustration of how it would descend into an exercise in herding cats…
I find the cultural mirror of that movie to be most entertaining…even some 35+ years later!
