Shame, Shame on You

A new law, you cannot be serious, we do not need another law, and especially one that we all know will be never be ticketed. Our hard working, under paid officers has better things to do than to write tickets for pooping on the sidewalks.

It can not possibly be ok to let your dog poop on the sidewalk or other people’s yards. We do not need a law, we need some PRIDE. Dogs downtown are one of the nice things about this town. Going for a walk downtown is one of the small town things we do not want to loose about Commerce. Shame on you if you take your dog for a walk and do not have a plastic bag with you.

Shame on you Mr. Business Man, if you have a Skateboarder that continues to skate by your business and you have not talked to the skater. The Kids of Commerce are good Kids. For the most part they are simply looking for something to do. You have to admit there is not much to do around here. Do we really expect our officers to ticket these kids. Go outside (maybe with a soda in hand) and talk to the kid. Explain why you have a problem with him skating. It cause too much noise, it keep customers away, whatever. Take a minute to share your skateboarding day with him. Our kids are our future we need to bring them up in the way we want them to go. Running them out of Commerce will mean one thing, a very DEAD Commerce in about 15 years.

The Beautiful town of Commerce belongs to all of us. If you see something that should not be there pick it up, put it in the trash. If you see someone letting their dog Poop on the street ask them if you can get that for them. Let them know that we take pride in Commerce and invite anyone who takes the same pride in this community to walk their dog downtown also.

Maybe we should we bring back that old fashion Shame, shame on you gesture. The community of Commerce is the only thing that can fix this problem; we do not need any law. They cost money, I am sure there is some thing we can spend our tax dollars on that will be of better use than a DOGGY POOP LAW.

Wow.....how bout this, let's direct the law towards ALLL the cat owner's that let their cats wonder around, breeding, pooping in ppls yards...climbing and scratching up ppls vehicles. I'm sick of it and the real kicker is that these ppl who let their cats loose have the nerve to call the police because dogs are barking in the neighborhood at all hours because the cats r trespassing on our property!!! i'm ready to make friends with all the cats and load them up and take them to animal shelters in far far away places so they don't return!!!!!

YES! We do not need any more laws!!! Maybe our schools should start teaching some common sense and some pride rather than some form of theory that 98% of them will never use.As far as more laws let them enforce the ones on the books already instead of picking and choosing which ones are the easiest.Remember when you had a choice to buckle up or not?
