Quote:Something is wrong. Something is seriously wrong with our culture.
Although I don't necessarily disagree with that statement, I think that's an uncalled for reaction to that news story. A blanket letter was sent in response to a complaint by a neighbor about it. With the level of bureaucracy in most towns, a simple complaint can illicit a quick blanket response like the removal notice the family received.
With that said, if the family was actually fined, or the city admitted they reviewed the situation onsite, and then threatened a fine, then I'd be singing a different tune.
The culture is sick, but i'm not sure this is a paradigm symptom.
