Fine,
let the Clinton show go on forever

Editor-at-large
All right ... one
look back, but that's it.
Clinton
Bunny just keeps going, going

One
Citizen's Perspective
Will William Jefferson
Clinton's last-minute pardon of tax evasion fugitive Marc Rich finally
bring down the gavel of justice under the rule of law on the most corrupt
president in U.S. history? Or will the American people, once again,
allow Bill and Hillary to skirt the laws of this country because we
are complacent, weary, and too far removed from Washington to care?
Our
little Hamlet of Fayette
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
In the story, play,
movie, or even the DVD video game, "Hamlet," the character
Hamlet is angered because he fears his father's brother, Claudius has
murdered his father so he (Claudius) can marry his father's wife, Hamlet's
mother, so he (Claudius) can take control of Denmark. Further confusing
the nepotistic story, Hamlet's madness involves Claudius' adviser Polonius
and his daughter, ending in tragedy for everyone. Whew! Why does this
suspiciously sound like our Fayette County government?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tyrone
still suffers from poor zoning decisions
First of all, I
would like to thank Mr. Buck, Mr. Leech, Mr. Curlee and Ms. Blackstone
for taking time to reply to my letter published in last week's paper.
If I got people upset, great! If I got people to think, even better!
You
might be a hypocrite if . . .
When I read the
letters written in your paper, I lose my faith in human nature. If your
letter writers are representative of our county as a whole, we are the
biggest collection of selfish hypocrites on earth. Consider these examples:
Compassionate
people should think about treatment of circus animals
On Feb. 15, Ringling
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus open[ed] its doors to thousands
of people (mostly children) who are expecting to be entertained by the
people and animals that are part of the show. This show will run through
Feb. 25.
Remember
Sen. Hecht for changing Ga. flag
I've noticed a couple
of articles over the last few issues of The Citizen and other local
papers recently commenting on how well state Senator Greg Hecht is doing
in the Georgia Legislature this session. "Hecht bills moving right
along" is the title of one such article in The Citizen of Feb.
14.
Tickets
available for FCHS Sports Hall of Fame Banquet
Thank you for the
article mentioning the Fayette County High School Sports Hall of Fame
Banquet scheduled for Feb. 24.
Setting
the record straight
Re: the picture
on Page 2A of the Feb. 14 issue of the paper. Just to set the record
straight: The accident happened on Thursday, Feb. 8. The truck was not
carrying lumber, but apple trees.
Hwy.
54 traffic plan in shambles, PTC Council should revote
All the Ga. Highway
54 West corridor plans are beginning to implode. Ga. Department of Transportation
engineer Marion Waters has pulled the plug on the proposed traffic light
at the intersection connecting The Avenue and Market Place Blvd. (Staples
and the restaurants).
Mayor
Lenox right about city-county tax inequity
My fellow Peachtree
City citizens, you know we've all been on the opposite side of the issue
with our Mayor Bob Lenox (myself included). However, here's one time
when I think we ought to be equal opportunity complainers where the
Mayor is concerned.
County's
demolition of Dorsey House a power play
I read your cover
story with dismay and disgust and couldn't help but think it was the
ultimate show of force in a power struggle.
Dunn
shows ignorance or audacity to demolish historic house
He's done it again!
Commissioner Greg Dunn had the audacity to demolish the historic Dorsey
Home last week. He did it without the forethought to inform the city
of Fayetteville and did not even inform other commissioners of his intentions.
Now why is that?
Student
complaint about buses draws fire
Ride the bus yourself,
Kerry
Ditto,
Kerry: climb aboard
Maybe Miss FitzPatrick's
parents should make her ride the school bus (Letters, Feb 14, 2001).
There is one that goes to the high school and if it is late because
of traffic, I assume that would be excused.
It's
a cruel world: No snow days
This is in response
to a letter in the Feb. 14 issue written by Kerry Fitzpatrick. Please,
please, please tell me this young lady was only joking. What is she
going to do when she graduates into the real world? Is she going have
a nervous breakdown when she encounters rush hour traffic or simply
run everyone off the road because her time is more valuable than everyone
else?
Bad
twaffic! Bad! Bad! Bad!
A note to Kerry
from a parent who drives his "precious kid" to school on rainy
days (and on very dry days, too):
Grab
an umbrella, Kerry
A note to Kerry
Fitzgerald: If you had ridden the schoolbus, you wouldn't have to stand
in line because you would have had an excused tardiness.
