| — Like the idea

“I like the idea of making better use of those transit busses we see around town. Who really knows what those buses are about, how you get on one and do they have regular routes?

The talk

“I knew we would be hearing a lot of talk about the new turf at the stadium after losing two games. The turf has nothing to do with the team except to give them a better place to play. The Pack will be okay and will grow. It’s about building a program not just a team.

Appreciate it

“I also got a letter changing my doctor's appointment. And I was GLAD. I rarely check my answering machine and I don't always get message that are left at work. I check my mail everyday!

Big picture

“I’m glad that we live in a country where we can complain about the football stadium, disparity in sports, doctors’ offices, potholes and race tracks. I think we also can take some time to applaud what we would consider the good stuff. I’ve read a lot lately about people making donations, doing volunteer work, winning awards, etc. This is a great country indeed. Let’s try to keep the big picture in perspective.

Intellectual

“Whoever said you had to be intellectual to write about politics? That would be to assume that politics itself is intellectual. What a misconception.

Cowboys, Indians

“I think Mr. Walden is very intellectual. I just read his column about cowboys and Indians and found it very thought provoking. I realize he was edging on sacrilege when he mentioned Randolph Scott but good commentary should push the envelope.

Dog rules

“This is to my neighbors. You can have only two dogs on your property inside the city limits. Get rid of the extras or I am going to call the city manager and compliance officer!

Deputy's life

“I am also a deputy's wife and agree with the previous post. Their pay sucks! I also make more than my husband and I don't risk my life every day for stupid people. They have to put up with all kinds of crap from people of all sorts and don't get any respect from anyone in the community. They do the best they can with what they have. Even when they are off duty they are still on. I think this community needs to stop putting down our law enforcement .

Common sense

“Mr. Walden's job is NOT to write about politics. He writes on common sense, which he has plenty of and I'm happy that he shares that with us.

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.

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.

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.

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.
