Time will tell -- so he said. Perhaps it already did.

In a thread at another blog with chatter about Luke Ravenstah as mayor, Bram wrote, "Time will tell."

Well, time does not speak.

People tell. Actions speak. Time is generally silent. Time is more often a friend of those in power.

Pittsburgh's best wish would be that time would tell as time and time again we've seen our neighbors depart, our city shrink, an economic decline and the idle time, do-nothing ways of foundations and want-a-be movers and shakers.

Its bad when the 'movers and shakers' are out sung and danced by 'old man time.'

This time, will it be different?

Let's not wait for 'time to tell.'
