Bring back prohibition?

I don’t know why in the world people think they have to drink beer and whiskey everywhere they go. I think getting it legalized at college football games is stupid. Don’t matter if there’s kids in places or not, they’ve got to have their alcohol. It is so stupid. I don’t know why in the world they want to pass stuff like that. It’s crazy.

Renters leave a lot to be desired

In regard to the letter concerning rental properties in the Friday, Sept. 20 issue, “If you don’t like a property shown to you, you don’t have to rent it.” Even good renters often leave a lot to be desired. People can move into a nice, well-cared for property and dirty it up and tear it up in no time at all and suddenly become unable to pay the rent and make like squatters thinking they have a right to stay even if they don’t pay. Furthermore they don’t abide by other terms of the lease, such as no animals of any kind in the house, which are often very destructive, dirty and smelly.
