Sex
scandal on TI? What's world coming to?
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
While standing in
the grocery checkout line recently, a headline on one of the tabloids
caught my attention.
So
now Christian theme parks offend
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
I thought I had
heard it all, every range of personal offense that could be taken by
the behavior of others, every manner of charge of discrimination imaginable,
but, alas, I had not, until now.
MTV
feeds on our children
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
MTV wants to have
their cake and eat it, too. They want to champion every type of moral
liberality and be a victor for the freedom of speech, yet they also
want to feed off their own young, getting fatter and richer with every
bite. Only, their cannibalism continues to wreak havoc on the young
flocks of viewers they both attract and devour. I wish them a good case
of Mad Cow Disease.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
So
now governor wants to parent our children
Governor Barnes
wants to move into my spare bedroom so that he can parent my children.
He does not think that I can determine when my four daughters are responsible
drivers so he wants to take over my job.
If
you are black and also a Republican, there are costs
Re: "Jackson
forfeits leadership." Yes, Bill Webster is correct. "Racism
is alive and flourishing."
Tyrone
a redneck Bubbaville?
Re: Your article
in the FactFinder on Tyrone. I have had the unhappy experience of living
amongst the "dumb as dirt, redneck as it gets, Bubbaville-thinking"
Town Council, mayor and residents in Tyrone for the past 11 years.
Crossing
guard will be missed
I learned yesterday
that Mr. Ron Andrews had passed away last Thursday. Mr. Andrews was
the school crossing guard for Huddleston Elementary and Booth Middle
School. I saw him every day as I drove up Peachtree Parkway on my way
to work.
New
flag is good compromise
Congratulations
to Gov. Roy Barnes and the Georgia General Assembly on their compromise
on a new design for the Georgia state flag. It took a lot of courage
from those involved to stick their political necks out in order to get
the change passed. I have heard civil rights leaders and sons of Confederate
veterans alike blast the new flag; therefore, it must be a good compromise.
I do not agree with the derision of the Confederate battle flag, but
I can accept the change because I am a reasonable man.
Excited

Lenox
off-base on 'Tyranny of majority' response
Reply to Mayor Bob
Lenox: Despite my 960-word response to your published letter you answered
me in just 13 words! For those who care, your response to my letter
was, "Try John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty," published 1869.
An interesting and provocative essay."
Cult
involvement can snare your young relatives without warning
The Christmas season
is behind us, and we are several weeks into a new semester at Georgia's
colleges and universities. So I am writing this letter to warn parents
who have kids away at college for the first time, and to help others
who may find themselves facing the same crisis I faced in May of 1998
when a relative of mine became embroiled with a cult, the International
Church of Christ.
Sons
of Confederate vets decry state flag change
It is with great
sadness that we recognize what we hope will be temporary, the changing
of the flag of the state of Georgia from a flag of honor to a flag of
nothingness.
