[LMNA] Fwd: Resident Passes for Football Games - HELP

Think of it this way: There are no passes, and the police allow tens of
thousands of the Mongol hoards to park on our streets, have tailgate
parties in our neighborhood, and block our drive ways. Instead of allowing
the above mayhem on our streets, the university has police park on all our
street corners to prohibit the mob from occuping our neighborhood. This is
a great and expensive blessing that we have going for us. Secondly, the
University and their football were here before the vast majority of our
homes were built. Thirdly, our neighborhood is great to live in, largely
because it is near to the University and its beauty and cultural advantages.

Of course, I think they should have just mailed the passes to us. They may
even agree to do this next year if we asked, but let's not go off the deep
end in the mean time. Let's not throw their tea in the ocean.
