I think we can all agree that a "falling down drunk" has no business driving a car or a golf cart. A couple parked on the Square enjoying the music and a "cold one" is given a ticket for having an open container I'm not sure we can all agree there is any justice in that! A sober serious golfer (who is late) and on his way to a 9:00AM tee time is given a ticket for going 22 mph........Well, how about requiring everybody to get a license for his/her golf cart for $100.00 a year so we could put a whole bunch of Deputy Sheriffs out there protecting us and our golf paths from all these "crazy" Village people. Something that Ronald Reagan was quoted as saying comes to my mind: "Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." Well said Mr. President.
