"Equality and Fairness"

Let's Talk About These Concepts!!

A few of the duly elected leaders of Macon, Georgia are suggesting that the benefits that members of our Law Enforcement Community receive, such as being able to drive Police Cars to Off-Duty Jobs or to approved parking locations should be reviewed in these difficult economic times.
It has been stated that this is not fair for the other City Employees. Let us consider this from the point of view that may not have received appropriate attention. I say that the Macon City Council should be Fair. If the Police Officers can take a car home, all city employees should be able to do so.
Conversely, the Clerks in City Hall should be issued Weapons, trained in apprehending criminals and also work shifts. It would be nice if any Citizen in Macon could conduct business at City Hall 24/7. After all not all citizens work a 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. job.
I am all for equality and fairness. Just think of the impact of all city employees being armed with an appropriate weapon. The criminal element would even have to respect the "Garbage Truck."
All city vehicles could be fitted with speed detection devices. All city vehicle operators would be authorized to make arrest. All city employees would also become targets for the criminal element of our Society.
Yes, I the Flower Child am all for Equality and Fairness!!!!!
Just think of how the crime stats would decrease!!!!!
