The
gift of back to school time: Spell 8 words
By CAL BEVERLY
Publisher
For the first time
in many years for me, it’s back to school time.
My first batch has long since graduated from lunchboxes and homework
assignments to careers and grown-up things like mortgages and car payments,
marriages and other such transactions.
Is
our way of life doomed? Maybe so
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Frankly, I don’t
know how to respond to the air of discouragement that exists right now
among conservatives and libertarians.
School
board heard you; now what are you going to do?

The
pause that refreshes...and educates

Yeah, Coca Cola!
Finally, you found a way to turn a parent’s addiction into a child’s
future. If you haven’t heard, Coke’s new marketing plan will
establish college savings accounts for children that can be built up
through the purchase of their beverage products. Now that’s fizzy,
man. It’s a bold new world out there and Coca Cola Company is not
one to rest on their sucrose. They are leading the new charge in creative
selling.
Letters to
the Editor
Schools
should be 1st on all government's lists
The Board of Education
is heading towards the ballot box in November. As with most decisions
that include that removal of currency from our pockets, the process
was agonizing.
Stay-at-home
moms are needed to serve on juries
Just a thought
related to John Munford’s nice story on the stay-at-home mom, Barbara
Anderson, whose letter helped change jury duty exemption laws.
Letter
writer: Assumption on taxpayer's status was incorrect
I wish to correct
statements made in a previous letter to this newspaper. In that letter,
published Aug. 16, I made an assumption about Mr. Claude Paquin’s
age and taxpaying status. It was an assumption that I felt was reasonable,
but an assumption nonetheless, and I was incorrect. When I make a mistake,
I take full responsibility for it and for seeing that it is corrected.
IRS
enslaves 'free' people
We must destroy
our income tax code because it is wrong.
IRS
now going after guns: Registration required in new law?
I
received the following e-mail from a number of friends and I would like
to share it with you. No matter how you feel about the right to own
a weapon, this proposed amendment to the IRS should cause your blood
to boil.

Hooters is really freedom of choice issue
Since this Hooters
controversy seems to continue raging on, I would like to add my two
wings...sorry...two cents worth on the matter.
Why
do you suppose women are working at Hooters?
I read the letters
to the editor and noticed that the good Baptists in the area are still
in a rage over the Hooters that may come to the area.
Sure
Hooters is exploitative, but it's also just plain ugly
Of course, Hooters
is sexist, although it may not be exploitative. In today’s job
market, women can choose their own poison, at least in lower-echelon
positions
Out
of the closet on Hooters: Owe no man nothing but love
This morning, early,
as I was quiet in my “prayer closet” waiting on the Holy Spirit
to lead me in prayer. I kept hearing in my human spirit, “Owe no
man nothing, but to love him.”
BellSouth

BellSouth customers
will notice several changes on their phone bills this summer.
