And on "Local" Politics

View All Posts

The TV said Mayor Mike Bloomberg's New York City-wide smoking ban is now in effect.
However, to offset any aleged benefits, Mr. Mayor intends to add 6,000 taxi cabs to the streets. To add to the global warming effect. In Manhattan especially. Not to mention the emissions caused by the already-massive traffic jams.
Such is the lack of logic and failure to find balance which is so rampant in the USA.
With all their millions, they have no common sense.
But in their heads, the money the driver have to pay for their "Medallions" is worth the cost to the air and life quality, I guess. Apparently, they've never heard of jitneys.

And of course, there is an isuue in New Jersey. About a scrubbed mass transit plan for which the Federal Government paid, which the Governor refuses to return. But yet, the Federal Government is supposed to supply New Jersey with other types of Federal Aid? And no medical transportation if you're elderly or disabled unless you are on Medicaid. Under the guise of a "balanced budget". The fulcrum unfortunately is the backs of the people most in need and the innocent.

And of all the travesties-I don't even know where this began: Building houses in bear habitat. Dear Mr. Bear: We have evicted you from your natural home. Should you try to return, we will shoot you dead." I truly do believe it is time to start arming the bears.

Start making sense! Drop your posturing authoritarian attitudes (which are contra-US Constitutional) and spend more time thinking things through. No more building in wildlife's homes.
