"We have a few options with these problems," Carl Wright said to the community meeting. "We can try to make them pass a law, we can make it a community project to embarrass people who do things to degrade the life here. We can do both, is what I suggest. People who throw garbage from cars or anything else on the streets have to be made responsible for breaking their bad habits. "If anyone else has a suggestion, I'm listening " "You could strangle them " Sam West said sourly. "I think I'd get a kick out of murdering that kind of trash They make a fine community like this into something decent people want to avoid " You can take such things far too literally.
