More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read."

Hedley Flaubert, Jr. writes from Capote Corners: My complaint concerns some of the places where our state and federal government have not done a very good job in inspection and enforcement of laws designed to aid those of our citizens who may need a hand getting around Capote Corners. We, I mean they, need a hand when it comes to strip clubs without wheelchair ramps, handicapped parking, and automatic doors; as well as handicap accessible rest rooms, and diaper changing facilities. After personally inspecting each of the ten clubs in this area including one nude dancing club, I can say this situation is disgraceful and should be looked into by our concerned citizens anxious to bring equality of opportunity to those who need a hand.
