The next time you need some extra cash look for a kid on your block and kidnap him. Oh, be sure not to hurt him, not even by accident, and feed him well, give him TV, videos, etc., until his folks come up with the $10,000 you may really need to feel better. Then release him unharmed. The parents will understand. Think how good it will feel to have that extra ten grand in the bank. Sure, it is illegal, but this is Santa Cruz and as Mayor Krohn and the supervisors have shown, we laugh at federal laws here. If it doesn't hurt others, it's okay. One last thought. That sign on River Street needs to be changed to read: "Welcome to Santa Cruz, where breaking the law is a way of day- to-day life." The rest of the world may be laughing at us, but what do those law- abiding crazies know? Dan Misko Capitola - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
