After you read people's opinions for awhile you learn to expect certain views and attitudes. I know people aren't surprised by what I say most of the time and I am not surprised by what you say Quirky and what Redwitch says.

I doubt that your views will change what I think and my views will change what you think.


Yesterday there was a mugshot on the online news of a young man of 21 who was arrested for stealing a large amount of things from a home in Lady Lake. He had beautiful features and could have been a male model, his face was young and beautiful and I thought how shamed his mother must be. I could not understand how a young, healthy and very handsome young man couldn't just work to take care of what he needs in life.

If my grandchildren worked here in The Villages as landscapers, I would tell them to put something on their car to identify themselves and to avoid doing anything that could be construed as entering a property without an obvious purpose.

And if they didn't and the police were called to question them, I wouldn't feel sorry for them.

That is the difference. I don't expect anyone to act in anyway that I would not expect from myself, my children or my grandchildren. You have to learn to live in the real world.
