Bring in the clowns

The most common saying I hear lately is:
Hemet used to be a great place to live.  Hemet was a place where people slowed down.  It used to be a stark contrast to the way life was lived in other places.  It has lost it's distinguishing features.  Hemet now feels like an overpopulated ghost town.  Chains rattling and creaky doors like the stereotypical haunted house.  People walking around in fright wigs living as if they are paid performers.  Yes paid performers trying to convince people they are paupers.  Overfed paupers with cellphones.  The atmosphere that has been created is tragic and laughable.  The charade is played out like a B movie. Cult status with bad acting, stage lights in the scene; the works.  I'm expecting the credits to roll soon because this movie has been playing far too long.  There can't be that much film on the reel.
