In response
“For all those fussing about the volunteer fire departments, how many times have first responders or fire fighters been to your house? You will not be fussing when you need them. They save you, the county citizens, lots of money every year with better insurance ratings. They save lives and property. And they do it for free. They work. Do you? They have families they leave to go serve you. Think about what you are saying before you say it.
What happened?
“What ever happened to customer service? After having two different creepy critters unexpectedly join us for dinner at the table at a local restaurant before we even received our entree, needless to say, there was no appetite left in us. Management only offered to move us to another table. Wow, and no charge for the infestation.
You're wrong
“To the person who thinks, its ok for firefighters to put out ‘hot spots’ not wearing firefighting gear you are wrong. Also department SOPs should forbid this. In the picture the firefighters were using a booster line to cool hot spots which is also against the manual and SOPs.
I'll take them
“To the ranter that said they were not going to buy their season tickets. Where are your seats I have been trying to upgrade unsuccessfully for years.
Outrage!
“While you sit here and rant and rave about little things, why aren't we outraged at what is happening to our country?
The BP Oil spill and the planning evacuation of the coastal states. Military patrolling the streets, arresting civilians and training for gun confiscation. Why aren't we mad about those things? Look up FEMA camps and see what you find.
Against law
“To have inmates work on privately owned farms is against the law, so drop the issue on this. We have bigger issues to worry about. Our Republic is falling around us and you are worried about prisoners? Give me a break! Unless you people don't wake up to that fact, we will all be prisoners.
Strategy?
“President Obama and Attorney General Holder both promised to close Guantanamo Bay and to try those poor prisoners in American courtrooms as soon as possible.
Apparently those plans are on hold until after the November elections.
Why? Unfortunately doing the right thing is not always popular with the voters. We really need to move forward now not later.

Saving the critters
Dear editor:
Wildlife rehabilitators, or rehabbers as they are known in the animal community, are very special people. They have acquired the knowledge and experience that is needed to work with injured and orphaned wildlife. Licensed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and if caring for federally protected species, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, a wildlife rehabilitator’s ultimate goal is to take an injured or orphaned animal, get it healthy and return it to its natural habitat. - Rant and Rave for 2/10/12

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude. - Rant and Rave for 2/09/12

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?
There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

Honor sacrifices
Dear editor:
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, we as a Country, The United States of America, were declaring our Freedom and Liberty. - Rant and Rave for 2/08/12

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq. - Rant and Rave for 2/07/12
