In New York, the residents at a senior center have been
receiving free doughnuts and other baked goods for years. The sweets are donated by bakeries and other shops that have leftovers that are not quite fresh enough to sell. The seniors devour the sweets. But the city council has decided that these sweets are no good for the seniors. It just passed a law forbidding free day-old sweets for the senior center. "We want our seniors to live as long as possible, and these sweets can only contribute to obesity. With obesity come high blood pressure, circulation problems, and diabetes. So we are doing this for their own good," said Karl Rove, a city council member. The senior citizens are having none of this. They immediately called Rove and other council members to protest this ban. "Who are these people to tell us what to eat?" asked Doug Fairbanks, a resident at the center. "I'll bet every one of them has a doughnut several times a week. Where do they get this attitude? They act like they are our parents. "Instead, they are elected officials who are supposed to do the will of the people. And there isn't one person in this senior center who has complained about the free doughnuts. If they're concerned about seniors, are they going to prohibit all the seniors in the whole town from eating doughnuts? They can't just pick on us if they're interested in the health of all seniors. "People get a little bit of power and it goes straight to their heads. We are starting a petition to recall all the council members who voted for this law." Penjelasan :

She had just started her final semester, and was planning to graduate two weeks before Christmas. "She is one of our best students," said Mrs. Nelson, an instructor. "It's certainly very strange for her to miss class without calling in." Annabelle Florence had just moved into a new apartment at the beginning of September. A few classmates had helped her move. After all the boxes, clothes, and furniture were in the new apartment, Florence treated her three friends to a fantastic dinner at Sur la Table, a local French restaurant. Dinner included a couple of delicious—and expensive—bottles of wine. Everyone hugged when the meal was finished, and Florence drove home by herself. She did not answer or return phone calls the next two days. "I talked to Sara and Jeri. Annabelle had not returned their calls, so I decided to go over to her new place," said classmate Vicki. "When I got there, her car was in the parking lot. The roof was down on her Miata convertible. I thought that was strange, since it had sprinkled the day before. "Her apartment door was closed. After I knocked and knocked, I tried the door. It was not even locked. I walked inside, calling her name. There was no answer. I was getting very nervous, especially when I went into the bedroom and the bathroom. But no one was there. All her boxes were unopened, her clothes were still not hung up, and nothing was in the refrigerator.“
The police are investigating. Florence's credit card has not been used in the last two days, nor have any calls been made from her cell phone during that period.

The company plans to send a fried chicken scent throughout office buildings at lunchtime. The aroma will be dispensed from the mail-cart that distributes interoffice mail throughout a building. KFC's president thinks it's an idea whose time has come. "That's a terrible idea," exclaimed Rose, a secretary for the Department of Defense in Alexandria, Virginia. "First of all, I'm a vegetarian; the scent of cooked meat appalls me. Secondly, I belong to PETA—People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. And we all know how terribly chickens are treated before they are butchered. The whole idea is disgusting. And what makes it even worse is that they plan to foul the air every workday with fried chicken odor. Once a month would be bad enough, but once a day?" A KFC spokesman said that KFC's chickens are caged and butchered humanely, and that the scent would be subtle, "like a woman's perfume in a very big elevator." He said the scent would be just strong enough to notice. He also noted that KFC has a vegetarian menu that includes tofu shaped like chicken breasts and wings. "Do they make the tofu crunchy and greasy, too?" asked Rose. "I'm going to demand equal time—if office workers have to smell fried chicken every day, then they should also have to listen to the sound of chickens' heads getting chopped off every day."
