Walking in the street

I AM sick and tired of all the kids who walk in the middle of the street. If the police won't do anything about it soon, some kid is going to get run over.

Current violation

IF I drive straight through the stop sign on Mount Auburn Road at Hopper Street and two weeks later the city takes the stop sign down, does my crime go away? Of course the crime remains, because it was committed before the law changed. Mark Bliss began his recent article by writing, "In a move that violates current city law, the Cape Girardeau City Council hired a municipal judge who doesn't live here." In the next paragraph, however, Bliss reports that the mayor and council believe that, "To make it legal, the council has to change a city ordinance on residency requirements for a municipal judge." The judge was hired before the ordinance was changed, and that was a move that violates current city law.

Making more terrorists

PLEASE EXCUSE me for being a dodo here, but I'm just not getting it. How will we ever know when we've won the war on terror? It seems to me that attacking other countries in the Middle East is just going to make more people mad and create more terrorists. I'm just not buying it.
