Rant and Rave for 4/12/12

MOULTRIE — What it says

“You are right. That thing about those guys and their underwear way above their pants and their pants below their butts ... yep, it’s ignorance. They are making a statement, it says I don’t have any respect for me or you nor the sense to come in out of the rain."

What I see

“When I see that Intermodal Facility, I think of an old saying, ‘All dressed up and nowhere to go.’"

Mental health

“Could the Social Security facility be set up as a mental health center once it is vacated by the Feds? Just wondering."

Vulgar

“I, too, am annoyed by loud music from cars. But mostly I’m annoyed by the vulgar rap that I hear coming from those cars. I’ve got a kid in the car with me and I’m hearing some really nasty stuff. I don’t care if someone else wants to listen to it. It’s none of my business. I just don’t want imposed on me and my children."

Need petition

“A petition should be circulating so that the Social Security Administration knows how much we need the local office. It is a shame that services that are need by our citizens are relocating so where else, making it inconvenient to receive. We need this more than we need empty buildings and a fancy bus station. Please help keep the Social Security office in Moultrie. Chamber, city council and county commissioners need to step up."

Shovel-ready?

“That Intermodal thing must be one of those ‘shovel ready’ projects. Unfortunately, no one really has any use for it which is the key symptom of ‘pork barrel’ projects. Someone please tell me how it would even have been relevant to the old Friedlander Building being converted to a college. I guess when we have the ribbon cutting, we will have an announcement of what it is to be used for."

Naive people

“Ok naive people please don't think every person with food stamp cards receive them from the government. JUST MAYBE their being nice and buying them for someone who is not able to get out. So next time your in that line being nosey..STOP and worry about how your paying for your own food. Stop blaming the government for your ignorance."

School chief

“Why would the school board want to hire a Superintendent who has moved around so much? Why is it that only 27 candidates applied and only one is to be voted on?"

What's the law?

“I thought that the law provides that a public agency in Georgia will announce its final three candidates. Seems like to me out of 27 it would have been down to at least 3. Has the law been circumvented in this instance? And if so, is the procedure even legal now?"

Allowing youth members is OK, but not leaders.
Yes. Stop discriminating and allow both.
