At least we are not discussing the meaning and use of the word "decimate".
New Reporter: "The building was decimated in the explosion."
Me: (thinking this) Oh, only 1/10th of the building was destroyed in the explosion? The video made it appear like it was the whole thing.
Oh, and when did the Sausage King of Chicago join?

Welcome.
Don't worry about us Abe, most of use here are a bunch of logomachists.

To determine, in advance, as a uniform rule, that only selected public officials can show good cause is to refuse to consider the existence of good cause on the part of citizens generally and is an abuse of, and not an exercise of, discretion.
