There was a time in this country when that person would have been politely told to shut his pie hole, and mind his own damned business.
as an elected official, you have no idea how many times I've wanted to say that, Indo. Instead, I just bite my tongue. If I can't say something nice, I don't say anything at all.IndyMX said:Isn't it so nice how one person can spoil the fun of so many others...

This is the whole entire problem with government. People with common sense don't use it for fear of not being re-elected.IndyMX said:With all due respect to you and your elected office Pred, perhaps that's part of the problem.
Too many times, people in position of authority will not tell some spoiled asshat when he's being a jerk, in what some see as an effort to protect their ability to get elected again.
That's exactly what happens. Where I grew up we had a square mile of woods at the ceter of every "block". All the neighborhood kids rode bicycles, dirt bikes, quads or whatever in these woods. The people of the neighborhood didn't mind at all as long as you didn't ride in thier yard without permission. We were courteous so several of them let us cut through thier yards. We had very little problems with vandilization, theft and such. Sure, you could hear a bike from time to time and occasionally a kid would get carried away and ride down the road or something. Now people are worried about having their absolute peace and quite than keeping the neighborhood kids OUT of trouble. I have several family members living in that ganeral area who complain of frequent vandilism and petty theft. The kids are bored.89'r said:Funny thing about this is. That is the same guy that will be back at the City Council complaining about the kids writing graffiti and stealing the wheels off of his house, when those kids that used to race at Perris are now gang members with time on their hands.
