More to life

“With all due respect Mr Jones, get a life. There is more to life in Colquitt County than Packer football and that rich deep heritage you speak of only dates back to 1980 when Moultrie High School became Colquitt County High."

To Mr. Jones

“Mr. Jones: Not everything old is historical. Not everything nostalgic is heritage. Please understand the difference. They are just football helmets. Once they were made of leather."

We want police

“The last time I checked this was still a democracy. The citizens who pay taxes in Norman Park have a say about how those taxes are spent. The citizens want local police back."

Windmills

“The ‘migrating survivors’ of the windmills will be the intelligent ones that have enough sense to avoid the slowly turning blades. Therefore, their progeny will also know to avoid the blades."

Learn to adapt

“Windmills are a threat to the environment? Well, the sun can cause skin cancer. We must learn to adapt."

Sooner or later

“I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Someone would find that windmills cause cancer .... excuse me, I mean kill birds."

Venomous

“ Sheesh, I did not know there are such venomous sentiments as the leading rant in October 28, opinion.

"It's sad to see that some individuals want to see our president fail, probably even at the expense of the ranter's own offspring."

He's about peace

“These wars were not President Obama’s. Old dumb George and Dick got us into this mess. Stop blaming President Obama. Get over it. He is your president, you Republican. Stop already with all that hate.

"You can't get over the fact that an African American is finally in the house that my ancestors built with their blood and sweat. Finally we have a president that will bring about peace in most of the world."

The coach

“In response to Mr. Jones’ letter, I would like to say that coach Propst has done things the right way in Colquitt County. I have read numerous raves about coach Propst.

"You seem to be the one of the few persons who objects to his actions.

"You claim that this community has morals yet you are not willing to forgive someone who admitted fault in their past actions.

"Let it go and give the team and coaches all your support."

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.

I am saddened
Dear editor:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
