“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.

Life is a matter of perspectives; think about it
My friend, a city boy, was yelling for help. We were fishing on a river, and he had ventured over to another spot.
“Someone help! I’m cornered!” he yelled.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.
