• the local board of works for allowing violations for almost a year when a landlord association member has had more than adequate time to resolve violations and has the nerve to ask for a third extension — fine him!

• the writer who seems to not believe in a real eternal hell when Jesus said, “where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched” three times.
• trespassers and poachers who are committing crimes that can get them sent to jail, it is the family of the violators who suffer most, is it worth it to hurt them so?
