| — 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.

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.
