[The Trash Heap]

Laurel makes a good point today: just because some can do something doesn't mean all can, or must, do it. Accessibility doesn't translate to equality just because it's equally tough to accomplish. Our society is measured by how it treats the least capable of its members. Denying those least capable even the opportunity to vote on the issue is what I find most despicable in those organizations who took out another full-page, color ad against the beach petitions today . Shame on them.

Bad idea

Baby boomers carrying their surfboards into the City Council chambers. This to prove they could walk the same distance as will be necessary for all to walk from parking lot to closed beach. Wow!

Try a mother with two or more children with an ice-filled chest, sand buckets, shovels, sunblock, towels, snacks and beach umbrella.

Try a fisherman with fishing poles, an ice chest, tackle box, bait bucket, etc.

Unattended cars in every park from Ocean Drive to Ennis Joslin are continually being broken into. This will be a utopia for vandals. Wake up, people!

To you seniors who tell me you don't care, you don't go to the beach anymore: Do you want to have to admit to your grandchildren or great grandchildren that you had a chance to at least try to stop this and didn't? I don't.
