Sewer District backs up with anger in this case
MSD is one of the most evil organizations in the U.S. They still have not paid back the money they stole with their self imposed "storm water" tax that the courts stopped. If I ran my business that poorly I would be eating food scraps dug out of trash cans.Β

Where there's smoke, there's heated debate
Smoking bans decrease total revenues, fact! Most smokers are loyal, reliable, long-staying patrons of bars, pubs and nightclubs. If a ban is allowed, it will hurt the whole county economy. If you don't like smoke at a bar, don't attend! If smoking bans were so revenue positve you'd see people opening non-smoking bars.

Lazy Cakes Get People Worked Up
More research needs to be done, period. From this article it seems that the source of melatonin is not certain so until that is discovered and clearly understood it is better to keep Lazy Cakes off of the shelves, especially at gas stations where snacks are meant to be consumed to keep you mentally awake on the road; clearly if you get drowsy you aren't more mentally awake.Β Bottom line is that I like how Patch draws attention to this.

American right to eat on the street
What the City Council has done is Un-American.... as for their reasons... βItβs unfair competition with the other restaurants"β¦since when is it the council's business to regulate competition?

Constitutional rights and red lights
So, how many Constitutional rights do these camera "violations" trample? Let's see if you can think of more to add to my list.

Math pairs up with cybercrime
Iβve been telling people for 14 years that those math-heavy encryption algorithms at RSA et al, touted by βexpertsβ like Bruce Schneier and the other guys from cypherpunks, are not secure. Those codes were broken easily years ago by attacks.

Unhappiness turns to court
Thirty lawsuits and EOC complaints tell me that there is something wrong with the management of the MFPD.

Indeed, what is happening to society?
Only a mile from my home and by Heman Park. Any gunfire is unacceptable. I hope witnesses help the police.
