Comments on: SHORE THING: Rules for Fools https://capecharleswave.com/2012/09/shore-thing-rules-for-fools/ Your Online Newspaper in Cape Charles, Virginia Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1 By: Deborah Bender https://capecharleswave.com/2012/09/shore-thing-rules-for-fools/#comment-682 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:01:21 +0000 http://capecharleswave.com/?p=1966#comment-682 I wonder if Town employees will be stealing these signs from people’s yards like they did with the Old School Cape Charles signs. Let’s face it folks — there is apparently no freedom of speech in Cape Charles, no freedom of the press in Cape Charles, and I guess our yards are not actually our own either. If the Town wants to tell us what we can and can’t do in our own yards, maybe they would like to pay our taxes.
