In response

“Oh now there’s a bright idea! Some kid swipes a pack of smokes. Let’s cut off a hand and a foot out on the courthouse square. Why heck, let’s sell tickets and concessions! I knew someone would suggest that we ought to do like they do in Somalia. Boy’s there’s a poster child for humanitarian prowess and social progress. It’s a good thing that ignorance, like some viruses, isn’t airborne.

Beware

“If you come onto my property to steal my things, I will shoot you. That’s not a threat that’s a promise.

Don't understand

“While in the local store, I noticed several different things, one almost every hispanic had a cell phone or they were at the department to purchase one. Then while checking out, I had a line of Hispanics in front of me, almost everyone used a food stamp card,then completed their purchase with a pile of cash out of their pockets.

I can't afford a cell phone, I don't make enough to purchase one and buy groceries. And I don't qualify for any help. But I don't have money the day of my payday because I have to pay bills. I just don't understand the American way anymore.

Thanks

“Thank you Mr. Richard C. Monglére for your thoughtful response to Mr. Psalmond's letter. You saved me the effort of having to craft one myself. It seems that Mr. Psalmond's is the one who needs to read the Constitution.

He is apparently under the impression that a person must believe in his God or they should leave the country. Beware of those who claim to have the ‘one true religion’.

A reminder

“To Mr. Psalmond. Just a reminder. Don’t forget who laid most of the rails across our great country. They were Chinese coolies. Please do not forget that our nation is great because we have a diversity of thought and religion. I am a Christian. I have friends who are of other faiths. Some are Jewish. Some are agnostics. Some are atheists. They are good friends and good people. I will not seek to force my faith on them nor will I condemn them.

Qaulified

“I think qualifications should be the guideline for leadership in our schools. If they happen to be minority, that’s just fine. I want ability and performance.

Deserve it

“Healthcare professionals deserve what they make an hour mainly due to the fact that Healthcare is very much abused this day and time due to the government!

Those people deserve their raises. Shame on CRMC for not giving cost of living raises and buying expensive property!

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.

I am saddened
Dear editor:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
