When in Rome
Posted in: Letters From The Editor | Comments (0)
When visiting someplace I don’t live I always try to be mindful of the fact that I don’t live there and should avoid disturbing the day to day.
You don’t have to be visisting some lost tribe to make an effort to pay attention to local culture and customs. Are people driving really slow and braking every time they see an oncoming car? If you’ve got a string of angry drivers behind you chances are you are not in touch with your surroundings.
Small town life in some areas is still riddled with corruption which results in poor urban planning with underdeveloped road systems for the population in the area. Most people leave the city in part because they are tired of fighting traffic, they didn’t make the sacrifice of city convenience to drive only sixteen miles in an hour. So while you might be a jerk there’s a chance that group of road ragers behind you really wants to have a revolution against their local government and not just run you off the road.
The same powers of observation should be used to keep an eye on your children’s behavior. Are the local kids sitting in the road at two a.m.? Are they running around screaming at that time? No, so neither should yours.
Keep these simple points in mind and everybody has a better weekend.

Please take a minute of your time to voice your opposition to new anti gun legislation. In a nutshell they are trying to insert a psychiatric gun ban which vastly broadens the definition of mentally defective. This would include persons who went to counseling for a variety of non gun related issues. This vote will happen soon so waste no time.
There are already procedures in place for background checks prior to a gun purchase, the only thing our government should concentrate on is prosecuting:
- Gun dealers that fail to follow background check protocall.
- State and federal employees that are responsible for making sure records are up to date.
Enforcement is the key, all the other parts of the process to make gun sales safe are already in place. This new legislation would make it very easy for someone to be denied their right to own a gun based on elements totally unrelated to that persons. This also extends power to educational institutions to prompt investigation of students who’s behavior seems to stray slightly from their definition of regular. This will only open doors for infringement on countless freedoms.
