start with a simple plan to ban smoking in or on all county property. Have a couple of comments for and against that proposal. Stray into how to better work miscreants performing community service, neutering pets, cholera, and used diapers. Go further into employee compensation and the need for raises. About the only thing not touched was entitlements and Cash for Clunkers. Doctor Jack, we can always stock the Intracoastal with Gators and have passport/mood swing checks at the swing bridge. That may keep the wandering minds away. Who knows where they might wander next? Maybe Public Housing on Topsail -- there's a thought. Have the County or HUD buy some of the overpriced oceanfront property; knock down the existing homes; and build low income housing. Maybe there's some grant funding available from Congressman McIntyre which he can hand out. I better get a grip on myself before they re-open Dorothea Dix and transfer me there.
