Fear
of freedom marks both campaigns
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Believe it or not,
there are subjects that interest me besides the presidential race and
the debates.
Uphold
Constitution best: Bush or Gore?
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
As the presidential
election squeezes down to the wire, for many voters the decision comes
down to one of which candidate will best represent the people of the
United States on Supreme Court appointments.
Britney
Spears and I debate
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh
Lines
Though not as well-known
as Bush and Gore's, I have just finished my last in a series of three
presidential debates with my opponent in the "third tier"
candidate race. The third tier presidential race is a junior varsity
of sorts for people who one day seek the highest and most powerful office
in the world (next to Oprah Winfrey's). This third tier race is not
for career politicians but just normal people who really care about
the country and seek the power to outlaw the showing of Olympic events
half-a-day after everyone knows the outcome.
Letters to
the Editor
Despite
bond problems, voters should say Yes
When you see that
school bond referendum on your ballot on Nov. 7, should you vote Yes
or No?
Former
teacher laments school system's defects
I would like to
take this time to unload many things that have been on my mind for more
than a year now. I lived in Georgia for two years and the weather was
nice, but the schools and some of the people were not.
Despite
critics, deputies actually save money by using 'sporty' vehicles
Again, misinformed
individuals have prompted me to write to your paper in hopes of providing
some much needed education. In your Oct. 11 edition, Denise Fair wrote
"Deputies ride in style in some sporty vehicles." Well, Ms.
Fair, I believe there are a few things you may want to reconsider.
Brown
willing to debate on quality of life issues
I read with great
interest the volley of letters regarding the quality of education in
Fayette County. These types of discussions are quite valuable. One gentleman
wrote in amazement of how some local students had no recollection of
the attack on Pearl Harbor and various other important historical facts.
In rebuttal, a local merit scholar and a couple of teachers gave an
account of what is good about the school system.
Chariots
ministry was wronged, will keep fighting
Monday, Sept. 25,
2000, was a sad day in what may become part of Fayette County's history.
For it was on this day, that an old, retired Fulton County judge ruled
against Pastor Luther Graham and his family being able to connect their
plumbing to Clayton County's sewer. Seemed like such a simple request
and basic right!
New
church destroys rural neighborhood; where are rezoning protestors now?
We moved to Ebenezer
Church Road back in the '60s to a rural area to raise our children.
They had chickens, horses and five acres to play on. The years passed
and we no longer had the willpower to keep up five acres. Our neighbor
that joined us had 2.5 acres so we figured that we would have no problem
rezoning our land. We had a contract to sell the 2.5 for $40,000. We
went before rezoning and people came out of the woodwork to complain
about the rezoning. The man who wanted to buy the property said we had
some of the nastiest neighbors he had ever met
10-year-old:
Gore lies too much
Al Gore should NOT
be President because he lies too much.
