Roundabouts: “Don’t fight roundabouts. They work. They have worked for a long time in other places. They are the coming thing in this part of the country.

If you can’t see their advantage to traffic flow, then you probably shouldn’t be driving anyway.

Popularity thing

“Why is it that certain kids get special tryouts for cheerleading? Some don”t show up till the last day and still make the team!

What is the point of tryouts if it has been decided before hand? Glad to see its back to a popularity thing and not what skills you have!

Abandoned tracks

“There are several abandoned railroad tracks around town and in our community. These abandoned tracks are an eye-sore, especially where weeds and other things has grown up in them. Not only that, some of these tracks are very rough to drive over.

When are these abandoned tracks going to be taken up? Driving would be safer and smoother.

Parapros

“Why are paraprofessionals given titles and positions without the proper certification, more responsibilities than teachers and principals with degrees who can’t or won’t handle their responsibilities?

 Paraprofessionals are observed more diversely than teachers, blamed for whatever goes wrong. Para’s pay doesn’t even come close to their pay scale everything falls on the paraprofessionals! Who’s running the schools?

Still mum

“Austin Scott, Johnny Isakson, and David Perdue all remain silent on Donald’s collusion with the Russians. I assume that means they approve of it.

Time for Georgia to elect people with backbones to Congress who will put the sake of our country before their party.

Those statues

“I applaud the City of New Orleans for removing the Confederate memorials that were erected to celebrate Jim Crow and white supremacy. I would love to see this happen in more cities including removing the Confederate memorial from our downtown.

Not only were these people white supremacists, they were traitors to our country. Why should we honor that?

Global warming

“About the global warming comment made about a meteor, I believe the ranter meant that it caused the global warming back then and no amount of money could have changed things then or now.
