How Ridiculous and Small Minded Can They Be?

SUBMITTED BY A NEIGHBOR:

Two foreign wars and thousands of American troops killed and wounded. Highest rates of foreclosures since the Great Depression. Florida unemployment rate at 11%. Stockmarket losses in the trillions of dollars. A raging recession that threatens to turn into the Greatest Depression. GM and Chrysler retirees worried their pensions will disappear. Home invasions, burglaries and violent crime climbing at an alarming rate in Sarasota County. Several break-ins and robberies in the Venetia subdivision in South Venice. Several abandoned homes in Venetia that now look like hobo shacks. WEEDS IN YOUR HAWTHORN BUSHES!

Never mind all of the other things normal people have on their minds; in Venetia it’s always about the small stuff. The Vice President of the single family home board has now taken it upon himself to go house-to-house warning people about weeds in their Hawthorne bushes that circle the little oak trees that line the sidewalk. Can you imagine the gall of this guy having the cojones to actually knock on a neighbor’s door and tell them to pull the weeds or risk getting a letter of violation from THE ASSOCIATION?! Good grief man, get your head out of your posterior and get real or at least BE REASONABLE. How about doing something to keep the abandoned houses in Venetia from looking like hell – talk about weeds?!!! How about getting rid of those ridiculous “security” cameras and sitting down with the Sarasota Sherriff and work on getting some non-routine patrols through this neighborhood before one of us gets assaulted by a burglar? Will you idiots ever stop?! Get a hobby. Visit your grandchildren. Get a life for heaven’s sake. I can only hope some of you idiots will have lost enough of your puny nest-eggs or your pensions so you have to get a job or move-in with your kids. Stop harassing the rest of us who have lives and important things to worry about that don’t involve your picayune concerns about Venetia.
PS: I am going to fertilize the weeds in my Hawthorne bushes and water them and care for them ...Hell -- I am going for prize winning weeds ... and I hope and pray JC will knock on my door so we can have a nice long chat about the weeds. Please, please, please knock on my door.
