Complete the Passage
The city is vigorously enforcing the ordinance against allowing individuals to sleep in the bus depot. The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all. “No one can sleep in the bus depot,” the mayor has said, “whether you’re homeless or the chief executive of a major corporation.” This brings to mind a remark once made by a political commentator. “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” It’s time for the mayor to come to his senses.
