Long Island, New York Village Hall to crack down on skateboarders
I read an article out of Port Jefferson Long Island in N.Y about newly elected village board trustee Leslea Snyder proposing a city policy making it illegal for skateboarders to ride on the sidewalks or in the parking lots and areas around buildings in the business district. Snyder proposes violators have their skateboards taken away if caught. Does this woman have kids in her family? Does she and other citiy officials around America remember when they were young and just wanted to be a kid having fun? Doesn't sound like it. It also doesn't sound like Snyder really cares about the safety of skateboarders as she states in the story, [original story].
If she cared she would speak to some of the political high and mighty's around her and ask them for donations to build more skateparks around the city (village). This would be a small price to pay rather then to sick the police on these kids. Cops have better things to do than playing parent to kids who just want to have fun. In this society where the politicians line their pockets in exchange for allowing certain food companies to pollute the food with fats, genetically modified ingredients and non nutritional additives, you would think they would be happy to see these kids exercising which off-sets childhood obesity which results from genetically modified foods, trash food and fast food. Kids do need to be safe when having fun but maybe the solution is not to lash out at them but to try and provide what they need to be safe. Remember, they are citizens too and will soon be tax payers and might just vote you out of office. So act like a neighbor and not a stranger to the community.
