It's getting dumber and more dangerous day by day.

Barbara, this writer can relate. Over the weekend, he and his wife stopped with our grandkids at our local McDonald's it was dark, around 6:30 p.m. and about 32 degrees outside. As I got out of my care, I noticed in the dark a person laying on the ground reading a newspaper! This is totally out of place. I told the manager. She went out and came back with, "He's only reading a newspaper." We just had a drug murder in our town two blocks from our house. One guy used a baseball bat on the other. Yes, the drug trade is here in our small village; when you see people on the cold ground in the night reading a newspaper, this is a danger signal. The manager ought to be fired on the spot. She did not listen to the fear - legitimate - of the customer. It gets dumber - and more dangerous out there - more and more.
