Comment on Mosquitoes Now More Irritating to Teens and Young People by Lydia

When I read the article, it pointed out that “only” young adults and teens are generally able to hear the devices, meaning people as old as their mid-twenties would be deterred by the horrible screech they emit. While I am likewise sympathetic to businesses trying to reduce loitering, it sounds like a bad idea all around to me. First of all, you’ll be driving off the young customers as well as the loiterers–I know that if I was shopping, I would scurry past the building that was screaming at me in a heartbeat, and since I fall into the age range that these things are supposed to affect, I’d be thusly deterred. I also heard reports about this device being put on apartment buildings where kids LIVE, so now these poor kids and young adults living in this apartment have to deal with that noise every time they walk out the door?

I agree wholeheartedly with you on the subject of ageism–first of all, not all loiterers are young, and not all young people are loiterers. Secondly, what precedent do we set when we allow a company to create a device that targets a certain group of people as the enemy? There surely has to be a better way to deal with the problem than to torture anyone with sensitive ears who happens to approach your building.

It seems like the system we have to elect the nominees for president is not working. It is taking way to long. Get rid of the super delegates, count the Michigan and Florida delegates and keep going until someone gets all of the required delegates. The required number of delegates seems a little high, too.

No one should “bow out” until we have a nominee.

Sorry, dear, but this race is OVER unless Her Highness in a Pantsuit convinces the Superdelegates to disenfranchise the majority of the voters of their own party. For the good of the Democratic Party, Hillary needs to bow out gracefully.

Alas, there’s not a speck o’ grace in her!

Everyone keeps saying Hillary won by 10 Points – or by double digits – WRONG. Hillary won by 9.375 points. This still, according to real mathematics rounds to 9 POINTS – not double digits. This may not seem like a big deal, but trust me – IT IS!

I wish this was a national Primary system. My reason being that I lthink that these Primarie do not actually count the true America in the Voting. Just my opinion.
