Bet they didn't see this comming

Typical gummint - waste time and money on trivialities while serious crime runs rampant .

Before going off on cliched speaking points, let's take a look at what they're doing about said serious crime, and whether Phillie does have crime running rampant. (I don't know, I haven't studied the data on good ole' Philadelphia)

But they just rediscovered an old law, and started implementing it.

Of course, it's rather silly, and I do agree it's kind of pointless to arrest people for fortunetelling. And, yes, a waste of resources. But the crime running rampant? We need some backing on that. *grin*

what about the mystics at the pulpit?

I bet they pissed off some pimp in the know, politically speaking. Probably insulted his bitch, yo.

Let's face it, when is Philly gonna do something about real criminals? Too big of a voting bloc. They're probably doing it for some sort of crime statistics.

True. When is America going to do something about real criminals? Could this be a reason to vote for Guiliani?

Crime is rampant throughout the US , sorry I picked on Philadelphia , but I bet if you check statistics you will find a lot more serious crime to try to stop than fortune-telling .
