There's a word for
people who fight fair.

Citizen's Perspective
I apologize in
advance if the column you are about to read causes you to feel powerless,
defeated, or like a big Alice who can't get through a tiny door. I
promise not to do this often.

I failed my drug

Letters to
the Editor
Boost
the band, but get the station right, OK?
I was amazed to
read that Mr. Phillip Foster was upset because of the lack of coverage
of the Fayette County Band by NBC. Amazed because Channel 2, WSB, is
not the local affiliate of NBC but of ABC. Therefore it had nothing
to do with the local or national coverage.
Education
seems to have gone amiss here in Fayette
Dec. 7, 1941; Iwo
Jima; Benedict Arnold; "Et tu, Brute"; "Give me liberty
or give me death."
Gore-speak
costs us our own money
According to the
National Taxpayer's Union, Al Gore's 50-minute speech at the Democratic
Party Convention proposed an estimated $2.3 trillion in new spending.
That's an additional financial burden on the back of U.S. citizens who
now work almost six months out of the year just to pay their taxes.
Elections
by sound bite: It's a tragedy voters are so shallow
I'm tired of campaigns
for president, mayor, governor, representative and senator and how our
system operates. Here is why.
Granger
dismissed by Lenox, McMenamin to 'develop at all costs'
Mayor Bob Lenox
and Council member Annie McMenamin are setting the wheels of big-box
development and crowded schools into high gear by voting Willis Granger
off the Planning Commission. They were obviously looking for someone
who contradicts Granger's views on development and quality of life or
else they would have reappointed him, as is the tradition.
Declines:
Middle school math curriculum suspect
I was reviewing
the results from the Spring 2000 Competency Test scores in the Sept.
27 edition of The Citizen. As the parent of a middle schooler who has
transferred from Rising Starr to Flat Rock, I was especially concerned
with how the two schools stacked up.
Pooper-scooper
needed at store
I thought I had
seen it all.
Our readers sound
off ...
On
teens being harassed ...
Attention, shoppers:
On
Bush-Gore ...
With so much television
and newspaper reports about how much the Clinton-Gore presidency has
brought us, I would like to clear up a few misconceptions.
On
women pastors...
I want to commend
Pat Newman's piece on "A historic vote: National Heights to call
female pastor."
On
being in the Army overseas ...
I just wanted to
let the good people at this paper know that they are doing a great job.
