Don't try to force them on the rest of us.
Huh? How could "encourage all of us to install and use seats belts" possibly be construed to mean "force them on the rest of us"? Seems like an extreme leap to me.

I once saw a woman driving a golf cart with one hand and carrying an infant against her chest with the other. Well, there's nothing to stop her from doing so, right?...

You complained about the "Happy Paper" not reporting anything negative and now that negative information is reported you are mad. I think there are some people that can't be pleased. You don't have to candy coat negative news. It seems that some want that to happen. Bad news is bad news. You either want to read about it or you don't. I appreciate the up front tone of this last POA. It told it like it is....like it or not.
And I for one agree, so it is not true that "everyone is ticked off"; many of us appreciate not just the positive but the negative as well about the community we live in. I especially agree with the bolded/underscored statement in the quote above (my emphasis). And I am not a present or past officer of the POA; in fact, I'm not even a member.
