Stupid things that make me angry

David Scannell (be prepared, I am now exercising my First Amendment Right) is an idiot! Yes, I said idiot. This is the guy, a state representative I might add, who voted to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana on Tuesday of last week. Then went to work for the Manchester School District on Wednesday where he is the school spokesperson and, get this, the head of the safe schools program! What was he thinking? Rather, not thinking? I’m not pandering to the Mayor; in fact during the last two elections for Mayor I supported his opponent with a big sign on my lawn. But Mayor Guinta is right here, Scannell was not thinking clearly.

Moving right along, lets talk about how fast a lawsuit was filed by some Concord Law Firm because Hannaford had a very sophisticated breach of it’s debit and credit card numbers. I concede that nobody wants to have his or her credit or debit card numbers stolen and that computer security is very important. I only ask that you tell me how much the folks who actually have had their numbers stolen been hurt? How many of the false charges are they liable for? I think the answer is zero. So this is just another case of legal greed.

Then my favorite of the week (which also involves lawyers) is the story of the lady who fell trying to get a good seat at an Oprah taping and who is now suing Oprah for not controlling the audience. Give me a break and get a life!

Hey I don’t make this stuff up–it just happens.

    This is yet another occasion when I agree with you 100%. Decrying stupidity - and legal greed - transcends liberalism and conservatism. Keep fighting the good fight.
