The non-smoking lobby here rallied the ballot box and now, except for the local smoke and tobacco store, no one can smoke anywhere except cars and homes. Disgusting. We're fast turning into a Nanny State.Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851091798668087447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23240856.post-1169071497712709092007-01-17T16:04:00.000-06:002007-01-17T16:04:00.000-06:00Now that is an excellent post.

The neighborhood directly behind the Ford dealership is a well-known haunt for druggies and their dealers. There is a drug house known by all the citizens; the police never do a thing. I'm told it's because the dealer has the system beat; if someone pulls over an individual who buys from him, he makes a call and tells the dealer to flush the drugs. By the time the police get a warrant, the evidence is gone. Seems like a flimsy excuse to me, but the drug house is still right there. A city police officer attends my church and is frustrated by the lack of energy thrown at the drug problem in our town. He knows where all the drugs are but can't be given permission to act. A Catch-22, to be sure.Steve Beznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260563791091215318noreply@blogger.com
