Rants and Raves for Nov 4


Good idea

“It’s great that the county is considering a noise ordinance. I don’t mind a low level of music being played. I just don’t want my windows rattling or my sleep interrupted. Good move.



Disaster

“I, too, am concerned about a health care bill that is 2000 pages. As far as I’m concerned, this is a disaster in the making.



In response

“Mr. Walden’s head is not in the sand. In regard to Halloween, he stated what many of us feel. It’s just a day in the fall when our kids have a little safe fun. It’s only pagan if you believe in paganism and practice it with such philosophy applied.



My system, too

“To the person who said he is prepared for a home invasion with Winchester and Remington, that’s also my feeling, except mine system uses Mossberg and Smith and Wesson.



Gangs or not

“So do we have gangs operating here or don’t we. We keep hearing conflicting reports on this issue. However, it really doesn’t matter. Cars and house being shot and homes being invaded (whatever the colors the intruders fly under) is the same. Thugs are thugs.



Hurrah!

“Hurrah for the man who caught the burglar and held him at gunpoint. It’s going to take more of this to stem the tide of thefts and lawlessness that we as a community are experiencing.



Not an answer

“Today I heard someone say that the answer to Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan is to “nuke” them. That’s a ridiculous comment that if not feasible or humane. The answer, in my opinion, is to bring our troops home, protect our borders with a great tenacity and let the other countries fight it out among themselves. I’m tired of the lives and money we sacrifice in this countries who have been fighting among themselves since the Old Testament.



Which one?

“I see we had very little interest in local politics this election. Is that because we are happy with the present crew or are we just complacent and apathetic toward the process?



Applause

“Yep, whether we win or lose Friday playing Northside, we’ve had a great football season. Applause to the players and the coaches.



Noise

“Can we get more enforcement of the laws that prohibit loud music coming from cars?
