Weekend Wrap-up
Well, the people have spoken. The "To Beat or Not To Beat the Dead Horse" Poll is still open, but early polling data suggest a solid victory for the continued flogging of the proverbial dead horse here at mAss Backwards.
So, without further ado, I give you this week's weekend wrap-up. And, as usual, it provides us with yet another example of how idyllic life in our fair city would be if we could just wave our magic wands and make all the evil guns disappear.

If by "doing enough" they mean...
a) doing enough to keep the people of Boston in the dark when serial rapists and muggers have set up shop in their neighborhoods, or
b) doing enough to foster a false sense of security among the most vulnerable of the city's residents, or
c) doing enough to render the people of Boston defenseless, making them easy prey for the most violent of criminals,
...then, I'd have to go with a "YES" on that one.
I'll grab some of the better answers from that forum and post them here.
Have a good Monday.
