No challenges

“Mr. Tom Rogers I just read your letter to the editor in reference to perks for city council. I assume you are awared that county commission also draws retirement, which in my opinion is totally wrong. Now your epistle on these matters is noble. But guess what, our public is so dumbed down that they will not protest any of this and will  not demand changes. They are civics illiterate and will accept anything that comes along. No one offers a challenge to such abuse.”

Maybe Homer?

“I read on the front page of The Moultrie Observer where a high school principal in Alabama wants students to print canned items to school so when there is an invasion, they can throw these cans of beans and corn at the intruders. Sounds like something Homer Simpson might come up with.”

Ladies factor

“So you want parents to teach their daughters how to be ladies. My question: Who’s going to teach the parents? Get my drift?”

I agree

“I agree. We blow up a Mideast country and then we spend money to put the rocks back where they were. The Mideast is a revolving door when it comes to war. That’s all they know. That’s all they’ve done since Abraham. I know that we have some stake in foreign affairs and foreign stability. But I think we have a faulty plan in determining the ‘when and how much’ part of that plan.”

Tattoos

“To you people who think you have adorned yourself with all those tattoos, especially those on your neck: When you do that, your chances of employment drop exponentially. Now you may call that profiling. I call it pure and simple fact. You are showcasing your mentality when you do that. And some of them are so poorly done. They look like you went to sleep and a third grader worked on you with a magic marker.”

You’re correct

“You are correct. Willie Ross is not on death row. He was retried and is now serving life in prison. I sat through both of those trials.”

Barking dogs

“Thanks for that rant about barking dogs at night. Many nights I lie awake listening to a dog down the street howl. But I doubt if that person even reads the opinion page.”

Cat dumping

“To those who dumped your cat problem into the country, my sweet, loving, spayed, cared for cat came home with injuries that required professional treatment because she met some ‘new friends’ in her neighborhood. So, your nuisance problem became an expensive problem for me. You see, we love our pet and care for her. I hope you get the flu.”

Enjoyed it

“Enjoyed Mr. Walden’s column about plane incidents. I don’t fly anymore.”
