Dear Editor
I was wondering the other day about the law and today’s society. We all walk around daily smiling like law-abiding people, caring for our neighbours. We all want our streets to be safe and crime free. And we should fight crime, but the law only matters, until it bumps up against what someone thinks they are allowed to do, or feel like it, or it’s my right, the best is (what’s it to you.) Our laws are being trampled every day by ordinary folk. Our traffic laws have gone the way of jaywalking, nary a speed limit, nor any limit that people wish to do with their vehicle, dumping trash, people who throw diapers from cars, stealing, destruction of property, drunk driving, cell phones (they kill), ect. So the next time you go to complain about a break-in, or robbery, or shooting. Think about at what point you jump above the law, and that the criminal only has a higher jumping point than you. Teach your children well, they are watching.
