| — Frustration

“I think we are all frustrated with the crime issue in our community. In that frustration, let’s not be quick to blame law enforcement. For one thing, they are limited with manpower. Also, they cannot anticipate where crime is going to take place and be there ... no one can. And as a community, let’s resolve to take a more active part when and where we can to report what we know about these crimes and to take steps to help prevent them. When it comes to our drug problem, I’m thinking that treatment for addictions must be more vigorously addressed.

Says alot

“That 20 percent turnout in the last election says a lot. And it’s not good. I agree with the editorial. There’s a lot of hypocrisy going on. Every time I walk past the monument on the courthouse square I feel compelled to apologize for our apathy. So how many of those who didn’t vote are gung ho for us invading Iraq and Afghanistan?

Remembering

“Mr. Walden, I had a Barlow knife myself. I wore out the right side pocket of my jeans carrying it. Thanks for causing me to reminisce. I didn’t know your teacher but I had some just like her.

BP guy

“That BP guy can now get on with his life as he said to the media.

Norman Park

“I would like to thank the City of Norman Park for nothing. We pay some of the highest taxes in the state for the city to waste it. We don’t have a 24-hour police department but we have two new police cars and one slightly used one. We provide the chief with a take-home car when he lives in another county. They say he’s on call but if anything happens worst than a jay walker, the sheriff’s office will have to handle it. If anyone receives a speeding ticket I would take it to court because the patrol cars aren’t properly marked to meet state law OCGA 40-8-91(a).

Your yard

“If you think the terrorist in Guantanamo are indeed ‘poor prisoners’ then offer to let them be housed in your back yard. I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with them being near your children.

A chance

“I'm so tired of everyone complaining about what Obama is not doing. Give the man a chance to try and make some changes.

It took us how long to get this way. A lot of these same problems were going on when Bush was in Office, but no one seems to what to blame him for anything.

Everyone should know it takes time for things to happen and as in bad as shape as we are in it's not going to happen over night.

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.
