(2,479 posts)This is just typical of local ordinances. The guy who writes the garden column this week, said the city came around citing a "weed" ordinance, complaining that the "weeds" need to be cut back. Apparently the idiot had no idea they were his tomato plants!
Many places don't want you to even collect rain in a barrel.
I had a guy complain about some old garbage cans of aluminum I collect, sitting on my front porch, citing some sort of refuse law. Aluminum isn't refuse, and had he looked closely, he'd have known that. I cleaned it up, and moved it to the back.
It is as if the City and State regulators are trying to keep people from doing good things, by laws. Ed Schultz just mentioned how law enforcement more than ever aren't really about protect and serve, but have been re-purposed as revenue generators. I'm not sure if they weren't always that.
And this is just the kind of crap people will just go along with, like blithering idiots. Tax me! I hate Weiner too. Spy on me. MSNBC (or FOX) said it, so it must be true--it's my team.
