THIS is what you get when you try to be "reasonable" with the other side.....You can NEVER,EVER,EVER get "reasonable" when you have to deal with long time government employees.... Remember the next time you think about "compromise" just who will be enforcing these so called "reasonable" laws. People don't believe me (especially several on this list) when I talk about how a supposedly "reasonable" law could be enforced.....well.. read it and remember.. this is a VERY minor example.... I can fill boxes and boxes and boxes of the horror stories of the way that government lackies enforce supposedly "reasonable" laws....it ain't pretty. Ginger Cleary "...

My neighbor two doors down is having a new roof put on her house. It will take about 7 days to complete. For the last 3 days, when she leaves for work, she has been bringing her two yellow labs over, so the guys can go in and out her gate. She takes them home, when she gets home from work. We have a lady in the neighborhood, who complains about everyone for everything. I guess she saw ..... bringing the dogs over this morning and called Animal Control to tell them I had two extra dogs on the property. I told the officer why the dogs were there, he could obviously see that her roof was full of workers. He informed me, that at no time, for no reason were extra dogs allowed on my property. Regardless of how long they stay. Even if anyone cames over for 3 hrs for a BBQ they would not be allowed to bring their dogs over. He said he would issue a warning today, but could give me a $300 fine for having them there. He suggested I take 2 of mine to someone elses house while hers visit. These are the reasonable people we are forced to deal with. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
