(CM) Supposedly legal to drink age adults come out of bars and start shooting up the streets. So lets shut down the gas station. Now that's getting to the root cause of things. Drug dealing going on in a parking lot, that's the bar owners fault. Shut him down. Lady's and gentleman, that is the first step to economic cleansing of a gritty blue collar neighborhood. Ignore the crime, blame someone else. Don't deal with the law breakers. Bust the people with a license. Trash their business with the power of government. Government of the inspector, by the neighborhood groupster, for the economic class cleanser. Craig Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Former Camdenite TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
