although this article is 3 years old, it is still pertinent in many places... and here is the argument you may need to use: City code says, All unpaved portions of the site shall be planted with grass, shrubbery or other suitable live plant material. But city planner Kevin Rulkowski, who really just comes off as an arrogant bully in his attacks on Julie Bass, proclaims, If you look in Websters dictionary, suitable means common. And you can look all throughout the entire city and youll never find a vegetable garden that consumes the entire front yard. (naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=1D577A9747A66F...). Hold on a minute, Mr. Rulkowski. Suitable does not mean common. Suitable means appropriate within the context in which it is being used. Check any dictionary and youll see the definition of suitable being either appropriate or proper. Even the Websters dictionary Mr. Rulkowski quotes in his news report doesnt define suitable as common. It defines suitable as proper, able, or qualified and gives examples such as The dress was a SUITABLE choice. Well what could be more suitable to a family with a yard than teaching children how to grow some of their own food right at home? Thats suitable! Its the most suitable (and natural) thing in the world, in fact. Whats weird is to grow nothing but grass and then spray your lawn with toxic chemicals to kill all the weeds, and then mow the lawn every week burning up fossil fuels and polluting the air just to keep your lawn manicured. Thats bizarre (and terrible for city air quality, by the way).
