"This will all die down. As soon as everyone stays home, we can get back to business as usual." [Selectboard Ch. Ivey, The Paris Reporter, 8-04-08]
"This" = citizens' outrage at:
*a calculated firing;
*no plan for a "different direction";
*a private agenda, featuring decisions made behind closed doors;

"home" = where extremely concerned citizens have no intention whatsoever of staying.
