The two couples are defeated by conservative governments striving to win no matter what the cost. Liberals who want to be right at any cost. The media who want to be important at all cost. Morality and integrity become the victims of corruption and self-serving aggrandizement.

The Wilson’s life is totally uprooted because he was asked to investigate and reported the truth causing Valerie’s expulsion from her covert agent position. Minimized and demeaned they had to find a away to survive. Rosmer and Rebekka see no way out. Neither can exist with the corruption surrounding them.

A false war, a destroyed economy, lies, and deceit are the winners and what we are left to live with. The bad guys become celebrities. Where are we headed?

Across from our home is a senior citizen facility. They often walk with their aides and walkers being forced to surrender their to a speeding cycler. A 96 year old friend was hit a biker. He knocked her down saying “Hope I didn’t hurt you.” and kept right on going leaving her on the ground.

I am all for bicyclist having their own lanes and rights. My question is, are they unqualifiedly without traffic regulations? There is one bill stating any cyclist over 14 years old is not allowed on the sidewalk. It is an unenforced law. I have spoken with policemen and they tell me it’s only minor. True it is minor but it is an infraction of the law making our streets less than 100% safe for pedestrians.

Wouldn’t giving a few tickets to sidewalk-riding bikers bring in some much needed revenue? More importantly, if they a few were fined bicyclists would be in the street with other wheeled vehicles immediately. Many lawbreakers are delivery people. Once their establishment has to pay fines we will have our pedestrian sidewalks back and safe for both two and four legged traffic.

Let’s all band together and take back our sidewalks.
