    A few days ago, I went to the local fair with a friend. At the entrance, there are now metal detectors, and "absolutely no knives allowed". My friend carried a small pocket knife, so he had to return it to his car. No big deal, just a minor inconvenience.
    Inside the fair, we visited a building with all kinds of vendors. One of them was selling kitchen knives, mostly large one, all laid out for anybody to grab one and start stabbing people if they were so inclined.
    I was stunned and disturbed.
    How is that for safety?

    WHOA! How weird is that! And how dangerous, as you said.

    Did you say anything to the people selling the knives, or to anyone supposedly in charge of running the fair?

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    My friend wrote a letter to the local news station about this. We'll see if they respond.
