How to improve Carbonia's image.

I oughta be the city of Carbonia's public relations director. I'd make a good one. By coming up with hundreds of ideas to improve the city's image here in Sardinia. And I'd start by cleaning up the city. Removing the tons of scattered debris and litter. Maybe by convincing the city's gypsy population to set an example. By making for an immaculate road leading to the gypsy camp at the north end of town. It's a mess now. One of the worst spots in the city of 30,000 inhabitants. Piles of garbage strewn along the roadside. Maybe put several families (volunteers) in charge of the clean up. Erect a sign saying that the roadside has been adopted by such and such families. Name 'em. Something similar is done along roads in Minnesota. And it's worked wonders. Clean, clean, clean all over. I'd start with the gypsies. Because the gypsies have less than a sterling reputation. Not necessarily deservedly so. Just happens to be the ethnic stereotype. Unfortunately. Anyway, the clean-up would have a potential double-barreled benefit. Improving the image of the gypsies and the city. Assuming the rest of the city follows the gypsies fine example. --Jim Broede
