Who's
telling the truth in prez race?
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
For those who are
seriously considering the issues in this year's presidential election,
and who haven't yet made up their minds, two questions probably figure
prominently in the decision-making process.
Lake
Kedron takes bigger water use hit
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
If you happen
to be driving in the Lake Kedron area of Peachtree City, you'll probably
notice that the lake is shrinking. The water level is way down. The
outer perimeters of the lake have been transformed into marshlands.
Here's
why women like Al (and not me)
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh

As incredibly close
as the presidential race is, it is rather amazing how huge a gap there
is between men's and women's devotion to Al Gore. Women simply love
him and (the polls say) will vote for him in large numbers compared
to George W. Bush. Thus, if Gore becomes our 35th president or whatever
the number, it pretty much means that the most powerful man in the world
got his job because women think he is hot. But, why do women like him
so much? I have my theories.
Letters to
the Editor
Lexington
Park rezoning raises some questions
In the Wednesday
Oct. 18 issue of The Citizen I read an article by John Munford entitled,
"PTC may lift multifamily housing moratorium."
PTC
Council big box rules favor 2 current developers
The big box chicanery
on behalf of big-time developers continues in Peachtree City. The editors
at the AJC (Oct. 17, "Fold the big-box stores before it's too late")
were right when they said we need to begin "thinking outside the
big box."
Court
properly interprets Constitution as 'living document'
Your paper is certainly
a bastion of right-wing claptrap, and I thought Amy Riley's article,
"Uphold Constitution best: Bush or Gore?" well representative.
Particularly ironic was her description of Al Gore's future Supreme
Court choices (were he elected) as clear examples of "situational
ethics" and "the hallmark of the post '60s and '70s era 'me
generation.'" She should pick up a history book now and then and
perhaps fax its contents to Mr. Bush.
Sexual
harassment investigation part of PTC political plot?
Imagine, if you
will, this situation. You have been falsely accused of a potentially
embarrassing charge at work. You know you have done nothing wrong, but
for reasons of "office politics," there are some people on
the job that want to hurt you. Someone or some group is trying to defame
you. What do you do? Do you walk away from your job in disgrace, even
though you are innocent of the charge? Do you confront your accuser(s)?
Cops
can and do abuse 'asset forfeiture' laws
This "minor"
debate on the issue of the vehicles that our local law enforcement officials
are using is part of the much larger and more controversial topic of
"asset forfeiture."
Time
to vote Yes for school bonds
It is time for all
my fellow SPLOST haters to step up to the plate. The Fayette County
School Board has put a bond issue on this November's ballot. Unless
we want those tax zealots cranking out another SPLOST, we need to vote
"YES" on the $65 million bond.
Some
schools are overcrowded
As an individual
who taught five years in overpopulated South Florida, I just had to
write in to correct 10-year-old Trevor Johnson's assertion that Al Gore
lied about several things related to the schools.
PTC
drivers, beware of left turn lanes
I was recently issued
a traffic ticket while driving eastbound on Ga. Highway 54 at the Ga.
Highway 74 intersection. My offense was that I passed over the yellow
lines in the left turn lane.
