The powers in TV try not to make downright orders for everything, hopeing that people will do the right thing and abide by TV's rules or suggestions. The papers say "no saving seats", and the people say--"they don't mean me, or I'm going to do what I want" The papers say"no scooters on the MMP", and the people say "they don't mean me-I am going to do what I want". The pool rules say or suggest that all lap swimming, and organized classes should be done in the sports pools, and the people say----"they don't mean me, I am going to do what I want." I could go on, but that;s enough. There are 100K people here, and if everyone does what they think ok, then everyone starts stepping on the other people's rights. If that happens, the powers might have to get downright demanding, and impose restrictions none of us want, just to protect the rights of all. Just my opinion.

This is a big problem in all of our society--"I'm entitled to do what I please, and the rest be damned." Kids are being
raised on that disrespect for others.
Fortunately most people in TV were raised to have respect for other people and for rules that are meant to promote an orderly community.
When people hog the neighborhood pools to do group water walking, etc., they need to be told to clear out and go to the sport pools' open water areas (not lap swim lanes).
The Rec Dept. is in charge of keeping order at these pools. One resident cannot be expected to confront a group of bullies and give them the boot. Rec dept. employees need to step up and enforce the rules.
