Book Preview: #1 The justice system should recognize and deal with the uniquely repulsive nature of tourist misbehavior. tourists who commit crimes should be thrown in jail with local criminals.#2 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently decided that there is no reason to ban shark-feeding dive excursions. While shark diving is not a natural encounter, it is not easy to get bitten by a shark.#3 Even the dead are not safe in Florida. The attorney general has accused Menorah Gardens Funeral Chapels of burying people in the wrong plots, stacking coffins like Tupperware, reselling occupied grave sites, and cracking open private mortuary vaults to make room for more corpses.#4 Funeral operators contribute heavily to politicians and finance lobby groups that help snuff out attempts at serious reform.
