Rant and Rave for 9/5/2010

MOULTRIE — I agree

“I agree, deputies should make more, but at the same time they should enforce the laws they are sworn to uphold. I witnessed two deputies pass cars with no headlights on in a rain storm the other day. If they can't enforce the simplest of traffic laws, how are we to expect them to take care of more serious crimes?

In response

“I urge Mr. Harris to educate himself on current politics, rather than letting someone tell him his politics. If you've done any iota of research on Obama, you'll find he's nothing more than an incompetent man trying to do big boy stuff. Obama has no business being president, he should be a manager of a Burger King instead.

Sickens me

“It absolutely sickens me to go into a convenience store and watch my tax dollars being spent on lottery tickets by people too sorry or lazy to work!

Thank you

“Thank you Mr. Harris for your factual and well-researched response to Mr. Driver's letter. I was getting ready to respond but you covered the bases very well. I hope people will read the facts you wrote and see the real truth about the Republicans.

Actually read it

“I wish people would read the dog ordinance before you speak!! It clearly states (3) three dogs per zone! My dogs are all I have left in this life,so if you are willing to take my life to get the dogs ,please be. advised I will make your journey to. see Jesus come to pass. All my. animals have current shots,are. spayed and well fed. Why aren't you picking up the wealthy peoples dogs who violate the ordinance, if they can have more than three dogs so can I.....

Football

“So now we’re 0-3 in Packer football. How good does hat new turf look now?

Not only one

“Wow, Glad to know I'm not the only one who sees teachers and staff disappear if a coach is needed. Funny how that works, and if they have a spouse fear not, we'll find them a job too. But hey,  even coaches/ trainers are not disappear proof. If a better coach is available, they too will disappear..

What changed?

“Band is supposed to be fun, however, this year seems to be an exception. A lot of students are talking about quitting or have already quit. Is it the band director, new policy or what. The kids didn't change, we need to find out what did.

Packers

“Hey Packers! You guys hang in there. This is a tough region and you scored a lot of points on one of the top teams in the nation. We’re behind you, all the way.

  • Dwain Walden.jpg 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.

  • Dwain Walden.jpg 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.

Poll

If the vote were held today, would you support the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax?

No. We don't need any more taxes.
No. The process is undemocratic and wrong.
