President Bush has come up with a couple of ideas that I agree with. My town of Scarborough Maine has a new program that enlists volunteers to assist with certain jobs that must be done, yet are not critical. Things like, writing parking tickets for people who park in handycap spaces without a plate or placard. Reminding people to license their dogs, to put numbers on their houses that can be seen from the road in case of fire. Checking doors at night after business hours.Demonstrating the proper way to wear a bike helmet, showing mothers how to deal with car seats for children. Stuff like that. It frees up the police for more serious work.
I'm way over qualified, but what the hell, it's a way to put something back.
