37. It's a stupid local law
But how many communities AREN'T this stupid and we would be handing them over to the same people who bailed out Wall St.

I doubt the stupid law will last much longer in fact.

No one argues for a free-market FD or police, not even my die-hard conservative husband.

But I can foresee funding linked to the dictates of dicks in congress, i.e. good or bad but the fed tied highway funding to state raising the drinking age. Whatever the virtues of the law it still gave congress the power to ipose their demands on states lest the state lose funding.

Capitalists will sell you the rope you use to hang them but I don't want to federally mandate the rope the GOP would hang me with.
