Vindication for many of us who knew Ben was making a mistake when he ran Gene Davenport off (or more accurately, ALLOWED Gene to be run off).

I am of the opinion that the lake is being increasingly raped by Russell Lands, and has been so since Ben lost interest in "the lake" and allowed his company to concentrate solely on the bottom line as opposed to stewardship and protection of an irreplaceable resource. It wasn't good enough under Davenport, so Ben and his new monkeys had to "fix it."

The fact that the only thing they concentrate on is now kicking them in the butt is, to be completely honest, telling, amusing, and appropriate. The collective braintrust at the New Russell Lands doesn't have the intelligence to keep a WalMart in business, much less several fully leveraged developments on property which was once a cash cow.

And all the while Ben is asleep at the wheel....not caring about any of it....because in all honesty, he doesn't have to.

And it doesn't matter anyway. There will still be a lake tomorrow, and he will still be the King.

And all those people who gave so many years to "the Beast" are now on the streets looking for other jobs, while the entire corpoate juggernaut that scripted the disappearance of Russell Corporation is doing the same song at dance at Russell Lands.
