Today’s News

I am always amazed at the simple solutions to problems in the newspaper that elude those involved. Take Monday’s local paper.
Starting with the lead story re: where sex offenders may or may not live, it obviously doesn’t matter where they live, for they can travel anywhere. No conversation or discussion needed. When convicted, automatic castration. And don’t cry about their rights. They gave up their rights
when they committed the heinous crime against children.

Next is the story of the Waterbury immigrant arrested in Vermont because he lives here illegally. ( He went to Vermont to help his workers, who were arrested for immigration violations. ) In all the years living and working in Waterbury, ( and paying taxes ) why could he not find time to become a citizen? Forget the sympathy and the “ tsk tsk---he’s such a nice guy. ” He should have, and could have, done the right thing: apply for citizenship, and lived happily ever after.
Moving to the lead story in section B. Members of a condo association, showing a serious lack of intelligence and empathy, change the rules, no longer allowing new or replacement pets. Patently unfair. Maybe don’t allow pets for future residents, but for people who bought their condos after being told pets were allowed, the associations’ actions are abhorrent and should be illegal.

Finally, how about the family suing a hotel in Savannah Ga. for 10 million dollars, because their family member, drunk to the level of twice legal limit, crawled into the air conditioner blower room, and died from wounds after being struck by metal blades. Any judge who accepts this garbage suit should be removed from the bench, and any lawyer who represents the family should be disbarred. How could any person in his right mind blame the hotel?

I think I need a new closing for my commentaries on today’s societal woes.

“ Let’s All Cast A Vote For Common Sense. ”

Sorta like Andy Rooney, if I may be a bit presumptuous. After all, he is far and away, my favorite curmudgeon.
