Ned Flanders... I mean Kennington's editorial

[Nick Gorton]

Not that I am a fan of eminent domain arguments, but... couldja get a hobby
Ned? Maybe latch-hook or something similar would be helpful to calm your
shattered nerves. Its a school of how many hundred over-stressed kids and
you can't bear the tennis court lights on at 9:45pm instead of 9pm so they
can get a little exercise and blow off some steam?

And Oh. My. God... they might actually have a Friday night home game. You
might miss your 8:45 bedtime!

I can understand (if not agree with) the NIMBY sentiment when we are talking
about a nuclear power plant, half way house for ex-felons, or a landfill.
But... we're talking about a bunch of high school kids playing soccer and
tennis.

The plural of anecdote is 'not data.' - Roger Brinner.

Few arguments are more dangerous than those that "feel" right but can't be
justified. -Stephen Jay Gould
