Sound off: Is it legal to mow your grass clippings into the street?

This whole mentality that making a law somehow keeps something from happening is what drives me up the wall. :-)

I'm sure it's not the most important of liberties that bartstop is loosing that is bothersome, to me it's the idea that us poor people are so inept that we have to have government take care of us by instituting the most ridiculous of laws. All this enlightenment and we're more unempowered than ever!

And then adding insult to injury is the disgusting lowest common denominator response to call the cops when you see these ridiculous laws being broken. 100 years ago we'd have been eaten by the ants if we were that incapable of taking care of ourselves as apparently we are in the eyes of people that want these kind of laws.

Not only that, but what's next? New law: If you neighbor waves at you, you have to wave back? Turn in violators by calling the cops?

Either it's a troll posting these sound off stories or the LJWorld is taking questions from some serious cry babies. This one is about as obvious as "If I break the law, am I really breaking the law?" I can't believe space, or bytes in this case, in supposedly a "NEWS"paper, is being wasted on carp like this. Nice job LJWorld. Seriously, this is as good as it gets? What's the next most obvious thing you can post as a sound off question?

Again, most people with sidewalks have grass as well that is perfect for walking on.

I seem to be getting you going...Seems I'm doing something. But obviously I digress. I'm not saying you should never reach out for assistance from the police, but it is being abused far too often when most times asking a neighbor nicely does the job. Additionally, I've never let a car infringing on a sidewalk keep me from using the sidewalk. You can always walk around it, sometimes you might even walk on the grass. Make it an obstacle course and go up and knock on the persons door if nothing else.

Gladly. But, I guess I'm more of a doer than a cryer.

I've never seen a situation where the poor school child couldn't walk around the car, either on sidewalk or on the grass. Have you? Bet you've seen the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow too huh? While we are at it, how many times do you see someone walking down the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk to walk on? See it all the time. Makes me wonder what the sidewalk is for, and usually I ask them that as I drive by.

No doubt, why should I be an adult when the cops can do my bidding. It's all in the name of a better society you know!?! Too bad the worthless people in it aren't any better. What ever happened to neighbors being able to talk to each other about things? It's been replaced by "Eeeeewwwww, I feel intimidated by my neighbor. I'm gonna tattle tell to the cops"

What's going to be the next Sound Off Question? I don't like my neighbor, what can I do? Meagan Gilliland will inform you to call the cops for that as well and they'll keep your identity secret so said person has no recourse! The cops will come by and issue you a citation for being such a low life despicable person that someone just had to call you in and report ya. Now that's building Lawrence into a first rate city! No one talks to anyone anymore, they just call the cops. Great answer!

Kansas House defeats immigrant tuition repeal

And my point is it's unfair to have a legal citizen having to pay more than someone that is not legally here. Just another incentive to break the law, and put law abiding citizens at a disadvantage to non-law abiding citizens. Any time you incentivize breaking laws, you have more breaking of the laws.
