The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell is actually a book I am currently reading. I, too, found that there are many similarities to Hamilton and a few of the topics in the book.

It's true to say, at times, that Hamiltonians love to egg their own city for some strange reason. It's like they don't realise that it's actually effecting them negatively. It's an issue I wish council would acknowledge and instill more local pride. Currently, the media speaks for our city, and it says what most of us want to hear and validate -- "Hamilton is going no where and you might as well accept it". After all, it sells more newspapers.

Hamilton should be spending some money on advocating like it has (in one way or another) for LRT. We should all know about the exciting developments in the city and why they are making our city better. After all, how can you be proud of your city if you're completely oblivious to the positive actions council takes.

Now for a few rants. To the This city is holding be back! guy. Yes, an inanimate object - "the city" - is holding you back. I think placing fault and not taking responsibility for your own actions is what's holding you back. And the I'll be outta this crappy city soon! guy - I say, why haven't you already left?
