David,
Now who is "...using the example of a few to label the many."
I and others posting here had some bad experiences with off island landlords and you dismiss them as isolated personal experiences, but you have one set of guests visiting and want to use them as evidence to prove your point. You can't have it both ways.
I am open to hearing all kinds of well considered opinions backed by solid information, or even personal experience, on this matter, but when the con arguments use intellectually dishonest tactics like twisting people's words to change their meaning, gratuitous partisan sniping, or the exact kinds of arguments based on personal experience that are being dismissed as valueless, it is hard to take them seriously.
Other than the "slippery slope into fascist government control" argument what are the practical problems with this bill? I am open to hearing them, if presented in an intellectually honest way.
Carol
