Am
I anti-government? Heavens no!
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
I don't know whether
they're going for pure shock value or whether some of these pundits
really have no idea what the tax battle is about when they write columns
extolling the good things that governments do and asking to be taxed
even more.
Dear
Fayette teens, may we talk?

One
Citizen's Perspective
We're writing today
to say that we've been thinking about you a lot lately. We're sorry
it's been so long since we've written. We've been so busy with work,
and bills, and errands, and getting you where you need to be that we
just don't know where the time goes. It seems like just yesterday we
were packing you off to kindergarten. Honestly, we're so proud of you
and all of your accomplishments. We want so much for everything to be
great for you when you grow up.

Laugh Lines
Anything is for
sale. Everything is for sale. As I watched the Pepsi commercial during
the Academy Awards Sunday, I noticed what Britney Spears was wearing
(as opposed to what she was not wearing).
Historic
preservation is a 'conservative' thing

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Delta
pilots: What's fair wage for cry babies?
I want to condemn
Delta pilot Russell Switzer for his fine example of the ALPA mentality.
He does not care if he shuts down 18 percent of the air traffic in the
U.S., inconveniences hundreds of thousands of customers, or jeopardizes
the livelihood of tens of thousands of airline/airport-related employees
and their families, as long as he gets more for himself.
Kudos
on Ga. flag to Seabaugh, Westmoreland
I just wanted to
publicly thank two of our local elected officials, Lynn Westmoreland
and Mitch Seabaugh, for their courage in standing for principle over
money.
Return
volley in 4-H gun range dispute: What about noise control ordinance?
This letter is in
response to the spin submitted by Denny Kuhr and the written attack
made by Melissa Payne regarding Nancy Buchanan's letter about the 4-H
shotgun range that is disturbing the peace in south Fayette County.
In my opinion, this group of recreational shooters is using the fine
reputation of the 4-H Club to justify their intrusion into our quality
of life. Fayette County blatantly supports this through its failure
to enforce the noise control ordinance.
Pets
on cart paths: Letter revealed arrogance
Re: Bob Biles' letter.
Wow! Allowing his dogs to run free on the paths of Peachtree City will
be outlawed if he does not have more respect for the well-founded fears
of his neighbors.
Why
this attack because of leash idea?
Re: "Many causes
for upset along PTC Cart paths." Who does Bob Biles think he is
to verbally attack me just because I believe animals in public areas
should be leashed?
Bright
but different kids fare badly in public schools
After 6-year-old
Alva had attended first grade for just a few weeks at an expensive private
school, Alva's parents were asked to meet with the school's principal
education expert, and teachers on "a matter of grave concern."
Not
'who,' but 'what' killed Delta
Dave Hamrick is
trying to figure out who killed the "Delta family." It isn't
a question of who; it's what. The what is one word: incest.
Fines
await anonymous letter-writer
We found an envelope
in the driveway with a copied handwritten letter that rambled from one
subject to another, downing the beautiful Peachtree City with nothing
but complaints.
