I was partner in a law firm in Texas where the two Senior Partners were very refined Southern gentlemen. Labor and employment law was a large part of my practice.

Bill, the Senior partner, approached me one day about an employment issues at an hospital. Bill said "Chin, I want to be delicate about this rather sensitive issue ... the guy is so fat he can't wipe his arse and he stinks."

Trail rides are getting banned or heavily regulated in a lot of places. Why? Hood rats and ghetto. We had trail rides in our parish all the time, never with any issues other than an occasional DUI on someone heading home. But, the trail rides went from being an event for horseback riding clubs to a business - a way for some sketchy promoter to make money.

Grand Cane had a nearby trail ride a few years ago - tickets were $20-$40. The trail ride had been an annual, issue free event. But, with the open sale of tickets and non-trail ride stuff (rap concert, twerking, etc). a different crowd showed up. They were around 8000 strong, on land with a capacity of 1500 or so. So, people parked all along the road and all over Grand Cane. People took shits and pissed in people's yards. It was a huge shite show. So, the parish regulated.

Had a post-regulation trail ride down from my house about 2 miles. A huge money grab that was a fail. The big convenience/truck stop store closed during the event. Deputies were all up and down the road. No parking on the road was strictly enforced. Event capacity was enforced by the Sheriff deputies at the gate of the property. With those restrictions, many went back to Shreveport. They have not had another event since.

Ghetto ruins everything. The man who set up the one near where I live is an older rancher, a great guy. But, his daughter moved to Houston, went ghetto, and got involved in turning a trail ride into some fast money event.

same reason some people cross the street as slowly as possible

My cousin was an underwater welder in Alaska. It is a very dangerous job. He did it for ten years, then quit to become a regular welder.

Most First Amendment "auditors" have zero interest in the First Amendment. They are interested in one thing - clicks.

So, they often try to get as close to the line as possible.

For some reason, I've never cared for roller coasters with a very wide body where a number of people sit side by side.
