Ask
what you learned, not who won
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Are we all breathless
with anticipation of the second presidential debate tonight?
Raise
your hands if you think . . .

One
Citizen's Perspective
For those of you
who are watching and waiting with bated breath to see who the American
public will place at the helm of the ship, please consider that we
are living with the aftereffects of political power run amok.
Blather:
Billy goes Green

Laugh
Lines
I feel I am very
structured in my writing and usually have a very specific subject, but
every once in while, I guess all of us need to rant incessantly on whatever
is on our minds. So with no Elian Gonzalez-sized crusade to attend to,
that is what this week's column is about, ranting.

Deputies
ride in style in some sporty vehicles
Has anyone noticed
the sports cars that the Fayette County Sheriff's deputies are driving
these days?
There
are no 'bad' children; parenting skills are real issue
In response to Dr.
Moffatt's recent article on "good" and "bad" kids,
I agree that we need to highlight the positive things our young people
are doing and not the negative.
MHS
senior defends quality of education for Fayette students
Four. Over 1100.
The University of Notre Dame. Emory University. Yale. Mr. Carl A. Thompson
may not be able to identify these figures, but most students at McIntosh
High School are familiar with them.
FCHS
teacher defends quality of students in Fayette system
How unfortunate
that you deemed it necessary to publish a letter in your Oct. 4 edition
which took one incident and turned it into an indictment of the Fayette
County School System. As I read it, I could not help but believe that
the writer used it solely to state a position with the politically correct
terminology of an agenda he has chosen to believe, adopt and promote.
PTC's
volunteer process riddled with politically motivated selections
The recent action
of the Peachtree City Council in not reappointing Willis Granger to
the Planning Commission brought back my own experience in 1994-95 in
applying for an opening on the water and sewer authority and subsequently
on the planning commission.
PTC
Council made a mistake in not reappointing Granger as planner
I honestly believe
the Peachtree City mayor and Council made a mistake by not reappointing
Mr. Willis Granger to the Planning Commission.
F'ville
misses the point on helping teenagers
We appreciate the
many teens from eastern Fayette County and parents who have contacted
[and asked] Jitterbuggers teen club to expand into the city of Fayetteville
to replace the Market Teen Club which met its demise this summer.
Neither
Gore nor Bush trust you with your money
I'm amazed that
Al Gore is so close in the polls. Depending on which pole you look at,
Gore is ahead. In one recent poll, he is behind by one point. I do not
understand how he can be so close when he admits to wanting to spend
our money.

Supporters boost county
clerk of court candidates
For
incumbent Ballard . . .
Throughout the past
14 years, I have practiced in the Atlanta area and have had the honor
of being retained in Fayette County cases in my capacity as an attorney.
Throughout these years, I have found the Fayette County Superior Court
Clerk's Office to be consistently the best clerk's office in the metro
Atlanta area. In my opinion, this is due almost entirely to the leadership
efforts of Mr. W.A. "Bud" Ballard, the Superior Court Clerk.
For
challenger Studdard . . .
I have been a resident
of Fayette County for more than 20 years and have raised two children
here. Both children are in the Fayette County school system and my wife,
Cynthia, teaches here. As I approach retirement, I fully anticipate
retiring in Fayette County.
