Dagnabit, This Town Is Fed Up With Cursing

"The cursing has gotten very, very bad. I find it appalling and I won't tolerate it," said Duphily, a civic leader in the otherwise quiet New England community, which calls itself the Cranberry Capital of the World. "No person should be allowed to talk in that manner."

Soon, Middleborough residents who do could risk a $20 fine.

    I disagree. It's more like a major violation of common decency, respect for others as well as oneself.

    And generally shows a lack of education and self control.
