Do you speak up, or do you ignore?
I am one of those people who has a hard time NOT saying something when I see a resident allowing a dog to run without a leash. I almost always say, "I see you have no leash for your dog, you are probably not aware that there is a leash law here." Almost always, the people tell me to mind my own business. One guy made a truly sophisticated reply....he said......."grow up." Another guy said, "this dog doesn't need a leash."
Turn signals. The other day, a lady was sitting in the middle of the road in a convertible, with the top down, waiting to do something. No way to tell, since she had no turn signal going. I was walking. I said, "don't forget your turn signal." She said, "It's okay, my turn signal isn't on." HUH?
I guess there are those who would consider me to be a trouble maker, but I think that if everybody remains silent, then it gives consent. I know I can't change everything, but I believe that since th villages has no law enforcement, and no plans for it, we all need to do our part.
What is your position?
