Wow, Kit, touching scenario!  You should have been a politician!

My sole point, since so many didn't get it -- and I am accepting blame
as the communicator, not dissing the audience -- was that J's remedy
was a bit harsh.  In an imperfect world, there are situations in which
otherwise responsible citizens are remiss with their shoveling.  We
can each construct opposing scenarios all day, but my point still
stands.

I don't have a solution.  If  were a property owner, I would gladly
pay a sidewalk-snow-shoveling-tax to relieve myself of the worry.
Obviously, I'm a Democrat.  With a snow-shoveling tax, we wouldn't
need a conscripted labor force, which make me uncomfortable, partially
because these less-than-upright citizens would now have a pretty good
idea of when I was home, and when I wasn't.  Secondly, and more so,
because I would feel distaste at being even remotely responsible for
the creation of a mini-gulag.  Chain gangs?  Hopefully, not on my
Palouse.
