| — Kids behavior

“Mr. Walden, I want to add to your column about buffet line protocol. It has to do with restaurants in general.

Parents, please be in charge of your kids in restaurants. Yes, we know they are cute. Letting them run around inside the restaurant and making a lot of noise is not a good thing.

We didn’t come there to watch your kids.

And if we see this a lot, we will go somewhere else which is not fair to the restaurant owner either.

Good point

“Right on! We can send soldiers to die for democracy (or so we claim that’s the reason) but so many of our people won’t get up off their duffs to go vote. Thanks for putting this into perspective. A 20 percent turnout of registered voters is not just an embarrassment, it’s an insult to the very men and women who serve our country and especially to those who have given the supreme sacrifice.

Chain gangs

“Are you are referring to chain gangs as them doing something besides sitting in air conditioning, playing cards, and eating 3 free meals a day, huh? It would be their choice and obviously get paid, to pay back what they have stolen, or fines. They already repair roads what is the difference in picking fields and farming?

Prisoners

“If they are prisoners then its a way to help the farmers and cut down on all the illegals who over here now. I get tired hearing about slavery under a different name.

If you committed a crime and go to prison for it, then you have no say so about what will be doing. Please stop the nonsense and know you have a choice, and if you give your freedom up, then working on a farm is not slavery but working for a good cost.

Period. Nothing more.

Dirt track

“My family and I really enjoyed the practice round at the Needmore racetrack this past weekend. I have been to several other tracks, and it is the best dirt track I've seen. I'm looking forward to some really good racing!

Frustration

“Volunteer fire reports are so hard to get. Every time I call the office I get a recording so I tried going buy their office and there was no one there.

It wasn't during lunch, it was around 9 a.m. so I came back around 3 p.m. the same day and still no one was there. I tried again the next day and still no luck. I really needed the fire report for my insurance. On the third day I finally found someone there and I asked the lady if she only worked part time and she told me she works Monday through Friday 8-4. I find this frustrating.

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.
