The unnamed Courier editor seems to put an awful lot of store on luck to keep our town from burning down. I'd prefer to rely on informed and alert citizens, good preparation and our fabulous fire-fighters.
Sure, it's a manner of speaking, but it promotes a certain passivity about everything, and I'm sorry, I'm just not down for that, guys. You'll go to any length to eliminate the passive voice from a paragraph, how about from your own thinking?
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
You're right, it's not a matter of luck, which is only for the faithless and faint-of-heart.
