Is
militry unreadiness a non-issue?
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
There's no doubt
that George Bush's choice of military readiness as a campaign issue
is a substantive one.
TV
news: blood and melodrama
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh
Lines
In this bloated,
exaggerated, hyperbolic world of “The News,” can we really
discern significance anymore? News programs found on Fox, ABC, NBC and
CBS have crossed the formerly broad line separating information from
exhilaration. Need I say more than, “JFK plane crash”?
BOE's
bond plan is impressive package

One
Citizen's Perspective
In taking a closer
look at the Fayette County Board of Education's bond issue as it is
expected to appear on the Nov. 7 ballot, it seems the board has produced
a referendum which is friendly to everyone.
Letters to
the Editor
Our
country has lost its way, and few even care
I'm sure you've
gotten hundreds of e-mails about [Dave Hamrick's column, "Is our
way of life doomed?"]. It was excellent.
Deer
Pointe annex question: Where are good neighbors?
Fayette County and
Fayetteville are again besieged by "Good Neighbors," or at
least they say they are. In a county and city beset by the pressures
of development and developers, a good neighbor would be a good thing.
In a county that is rapidly loosing its rural qualities and witnessing
the encroachment of asphalt, concrete, and the proliferation of subdivisions,
the county needs good neighbors within its boundaries.
While
every rezoning raises our taxes, our officials keep right on rezoning
I want to see Fayette
County have the best school system in Georgia, and the entire United
States. That is possible, with the educational and income level we have
in our county; there is no excuse not to achieve that goal.
IRS
tries back-door approach to federal gun registration, taxing possession
On Aug. 30, The
Citizen ran a letter written by Mr. Chuck James concerning an e-mail

"Registration required in new law?"
PTC
has failed to adequately protect citizens against big box problems
If you are baffled
about the proposed Wal-Mart imbroglio, you are not alone. We are now
faced with two options: (1) immediate accessibility to cheap underwear
(Wal-Mart sells more underwear than any other retailer in the U.S.A.)
along with the hoard of cars that will be filling the 963 parking spaces,
or (2) retaining our quality of life.

right: IRS bill means federal gun control
Subject: IRS gun
control Amy Riley is right.
Fayette
Republicans spend like Democrats
Do the elected officials
in Fayette County not understand the citizens here are sick of paying
taxes?
Double
standards and witch hunts in Fayette
Fayette County is
at a crossroads in history. The political, economic, and social forces
that have shaped the county's destiny for the past 20 years are reaching
a climax with the Williams case with the Market Club, and the Hooters
moral crusade.
Does
Fayette realize the need for broadband?
I just read your
"Opinion" article, "Who is up to the task of getting
Fayette wired?"
