I agree

“I appreciate Mr. Walden’s column about Halloween. I have been a Christian since I was a young child. I think sometimes we invent problems. For Heaven’s sake, we’ve got enough dominant issues to deal with without getting way out there on a limb and creating more. I agree, Halloween is about kids having fun. It is up to us enlightened adults to guide them in those pursuits.

Pagan basis

“Mr. Walden, how can you reject the basis upon which Halloween is founded? Do you have your head stuck in the sand? It’s a pagan issue, clear and simple.

Impressed

“I, too, have been watching the traffic issue at the new 4-way stop on Adel Highway. And I’m impressed that motorists do seem to be courteous at this intersection. I see it as a sign of improvement in humanity. Maybe I’m overstating the concept of ‘small steps,’ but I’ll take progress anywhere I can get it.

Applause

“I applaud the county commission for considering some efforts to control noise. It really ticks me off when I’m at an intersection and there’s a car next to me rattling my windows with their stereo. I have no problem with what kind of music they listen to, but it’s much like religion, I don’t someone else’s version imposed upon me. I will not impose mine upon them.

Nightmare

“So the new health bill that’s being proposed is 2,000 pages long. My gosh is that going to be a nightmare. Consider that the First and Second Amendments to our Constitution are only a few lines long and consider the debate that has arisen from those.

Confusion

“A 2,000-page health care bill? Get real. That will only create more bureaucracy. I must note the confusion for the elderly when the Medicare changes were put in place. But not just the elderly, I had trouble interpreting it for my mama.

Well stated

“Mr. Walden, the editorial about ‘we are the government’ was well stated. It’s time that an educated public got more involved and demanded results --- party affiliations be damned. In fact, let’s not consider it a ‘party’ anymore. Let’s consider it serious business.

Great season

“We’ve made the playoffs in 5A. We’ve come a long way in a short while. At 8-1, we’ve had a great season already and a chance to be even greater. Thanks to the coaching staff and the Pack supporters. Maybe we can get past the self-righteous era and the naysaying. We can see great seasons ahead. Those don’t happen by accident folks.

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.
