Public disclosure, again: I live
on Peachtree City's west side. My residential lot
abuts the unfinished — and uniquely unbuffered
— parkway that will serve the as-yet unannexed
West Village. And remember that Webb and firm are
suing me and the paper for running letters to the
editor about some of the stuff that follows. Keep
that in mind.

would like to nestle down for a long nap and not come
out until the coast was clear, but the cat is already
out of the bag.
Breakfast of Champions, II
BILLY MURPHY
Laugh Lines
In the continuing saga of my

its proprietor and I added one more person to our
little breakfast times at Shadow's restaurant. And

McIntosh High School and also a member of World Gym,
joined Dar Thompson and me for a discussion of all
things macho.

Local 'Republicrats' seem bent on
regulating everything
Your editorial about being
worried about those who cannot allow
“unregulated behavior” was right on.
Bravo for dedicates, involved
citizens like Steve Brown
In reference to Frank Hyde's
letter concerning Steve Brown:
At a southeast Atlanta library, kids
go to government-funded hate classes
During Black History Month 1997,
I was working on an air conditioning unit at the
Thomasville Heights Public Library in southeast
Atlanta when in walked about 15 well-dressed,
well-behaved, friendly, black kids who looked to be
ages 5 to 7.
If something offends thee, just
boycott and have it removed
The NAACP and other radical
groups and individuals continue to use their alleged
“offense” to the Confederate flag as a
reason to fan the fires of racism.
Thanks from health department
