Redistricting:
actions louder than words
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
All the figures
from the 2000 U.S. Census are now available and in the hands of Georgia
lawmakers, who are wishing they had a ten-foot pole to handle them with.
When
teens talk, this is what they say
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
Don't think that
all teens are about this or that. I am just one person, with a very
personal take on life. Don't blame me as an individual for some collective
teen problem that seems to exist in society.
Keys
to coping with getting old
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
The past week has
been a strange one. All of a sudden, I have gotten to see a bunch of
old friends from college. Boy, they all have gotten so old.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pilot:
Paper should not print nameless letters
I would like to
take an opportunity to respond to the letter in Wednesday's paper headlined,
"Delta Pilots: What's fair wage for cry babies?" As a Delta
pilot and former co-worker of Russ Switzer, I will not even attempt
to answer the bitter and vitriolic personal attack on Russ. To stoop
to the writer's level and attempt to answer the emotional charges item
by item would be a complete waste of my time.
Medical
communication needs improvement
I take no joy in
writing this letter, and I recognize this letter may go no further than
the office shredder.
4-H:
No whining here
I enjoyed reading
[the] follow-up letter concerning my "written attack" of Ms.
Buchanan's letter. I do not feel I was attacking anyone, just making
an observation. Let me add a few things:
'Anonymous'
letter: Outrageous!
Outrageous! How
dare you print a letter that so impugns so many of your readers without
so much as a byline!
How
to become a PTC political contender
What one must do
to become a successful politician: I have thought this out for years
and believe I come to the right conclusion. Here are some pointers.
Anti-pilot-strike
letter a case of 'class, professional' envy
I ran across this
piece of tripe while scanning the net, and in my opinion, it is an obvious
case of class, professional, abilities envy.
85%
of Delta pilots likely will stay on the job
While I agree with
the sentiments of the posting, I think the author is also a crybaby.
Pilot
pay and whining: It's all relative, bubba
An anonymous writer
took issue with the Delta pilots ongoing action with their company's
managerial decisions and if I may, I would like to address this masked
phantom writer.
No
complaints about pilot pay here
The writer of Wednesday's
castigation of Russell Switzer cannot have known Russell Switzer personally,
or surely he would have picked another person on whom to vent his rage.
Some
just want to keep our jobs
I couldn't agree
more [with "crybabies" letter]. I'm a DL flight attendant,
and I have to put up with these arrogant pilots who think they are Delta
Airlines.
Attack
letter reflects on paper
I am constantly
amused at the letters to the editor about Delta pilots printed in your
newspaper. As a pilot, I actually enjoy reading your editorial section.
"Free
training'? Ask these pilots
So, Mr. Businessman,
small-seated, self-sacrificing lawyer who never took a dime from the
government, expert on the Delta pilot's contract and way of life, John
Wayne imitation, go into battle with just a rifle combat infantryman,
doesn't have the jjuevos [sic] to sign his pewling letter. At least
Mr. Switzer stood in front of the camera and spoke his mind.
To
complaining Delta pilots: Please!
I agree: What current
pilot did not know what he was getting into when hired to become
a Delta flight officer?
Pilots
forget they're part of a team
God bless this person.
I was employed by Delta for 35 years and was able to retire two years
ago. I didn't want to leave the company but the attitudes of the pilot
group has made it a very different place to work.
Delta
quality being eroded by pilots
Whoever wrote that
article hit it right on the head.
PTC
bond proposal misses mark for teens
At first read ,the
proposal to build almost $14 million in new public infrastructure sounds
good. But several ominous statements clouded the issues. "Instead
of letting the people who live here now pay for it ,let future residents...."
"... a $5 million community center an investment for enhancement
of property values but totally optional."
