‘Deep Down’ the Spankers Know Assemblywoman Lieber’s Bill is Right On
Dear Editor,
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber should not be discouraged by all the snide reactions, snickering and cheap shots her spanking ban proposal has provoked. Such noise is an inevitable part of the process that accompanies every true reform. She should be proud and confident. She knows she’s on the right track. And deep down, the spankers know it, too.
We all remember the grumbling and threats of rebellion when safe, law-abiding drivers were ordered to buckle up, and when honest, tax-paying homeowners were informed that they could no longer burn their own leaves in their own backyards. Good laws pave the way for good behaviors, and in the end we have to admit, sometimes government gets things right.
Thoughtful, informed people know there is no practical, ethical or moral justification for discriminating against children by denying them equal protection under the law. Husbands and wives can’t settle their differences anymore by hitting each other, employers can’t hit employees, prison guards can’t hit convicts. There is only one hitable class left. But not for long, thanks to people like Ms. Lieber.

Why Was Former Tow Operator Allowed to File Such ‘Frivolous’ Lawsuits?
Dear Editor,
Why has former tow truck company operator Paul Greer been allowed to file such frivolous cases? This man just goes after those who do not have any knowledge of their rights, or that they have options. My co-worker was also falsely accused of owing towing charges for a towed car that no longer was in her possession.
She did defend herself, but after MANY HOURS OF HAVING to research and track down paperwork she should not have had to do. When she called to drop off the proof of release of liability, his office gave her the wrong office address. They were located in an unmarked obscure location. It was only them that he stopped harassing her and threatening to garnish her wages. Why has he not been charged with harassment and wrongful suits in the courts?
And why would he change not just his name, first and last, but his entire family including his children? Unscrupulous morals perhaps?
