Do You Really NEED Windows?

Woman Pushed Out Window; Police Search On

BOSTON -- Boston Police are on the hunt for a man they say pushed a woman out a second-story window.

Let us now enter the bizarre world of big government, liberal la-la land. Hold on tight to the safety line, people. You don't want to get lost in there.

Open letter to Mayor Menino:

If it saves just one life, wouldn't a city-wide ban on windows make sense. Now, I won't go so far as to suggest a total ban on the transmission of sunlight into people's homes, but would propose a "common-sense" piece of window safety legislation that would outlaw all open windows located on the second floor or higher. In the interest of striking a "compromise" between the "window safety" supporters and the "pro-window violence" crowd, this ban would apply to new construction only.

Current property owners in the city could apply for a Class "B" Transparent Wall Opening License ($100 filing fee) that would permit them to comply with the new regulation by having solid Plexiglas panels installed in all windows 15' or more from ground level.

Residents who wish to keep their high-altitude assault windows will need to apply with the Inspectional Services Department for a Class "A" High-Altitude Windows License. Applications for such must be accompanied by a letter demonstrating the applicant's need for functional windows. Merely expressing the desire to listen to the birds outside, or to allow the circulation of fresh air in one's home will not be considered a sufficient reason for issuance of said license.

Please, Mr. Mayor - it's for the children.
