Randy Cassingham's Blog

An 1885 comic opera called "The Mikado" contained a section called "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime." Gilbert & Sullivan saw fit to address such social maladjustments more than 100 years ago. As it's continuing, even worsening, it's good that the name Randy Cassingham will rank with them in exposing those who are too impressed with themselves and their positions to actually think.

Seriously, in Richardson, TX, driving 50 mph down a residential street, with kids playing outside, may net you a $250 fine for speeding. But hang a sign at the street corner advertising your garage sale, and you've just gotten a whopping $2,000 fine.

I dunno if I'll ever rank with Gilbert & Sullivan -- I may write decent lyrics, but there's no tune! -rc
