B+
for Bush on first foreign policy test
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
I'm kind of surprised
that some critics are trying to paste the "wimp" label on
the president over this little incident in China.
This

Who is Friday Johnson?
After
China crisis, I'm sorry for . . .
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
Some editorials
appearing in U.S. newspapers in recent days have criticized the President
for apologizing to the Chinese government for the mid-air collision
that resulted in the death of Chinese fighter pilot Wang Wei, and an
11-day standoff for the captured crew and pilot of a U.S. surveillance
mission.
Health
police: Fun is hazardous
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
Everywhere you look
today, you see the "Health Police." They are the guys who
tell us what is wrong with what we eat. Who are "They" anyway?
Is there a "Department of They" somewhere in Washington where
all these experts get together and decide what is and isn't good for
us?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Confederate
Memorial Day to be observed
The Gen. LaFayette
McLaws Camp 79, Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), will be sponsoring
its annual observance of Confederate Memorial Day on Thursday, April
26, with a special ceremony at the gazebo at Heritage Park in Fayetteville.
The service will begin at 7 p.m., and will feature bagpipes, presentation
of the Confederate colors, and a keynote address by James Fowler. Mr.
Fowler is a Georgia history teacher in the Coweta County school system,
and he is a member of the Commander John McIntosh Kell Camp 107 SCV
of Spalding County.
Why
aren't there outcries over Confederate support?
I must admit I'm
a fairly new resident to Fayette County, living here just under two
years. However, I am an Atlanta native. I accepted Christ as my personal
savior at the age of 14. In reading the Wednesday, April 4 edition of
The Citizen I was horrified to see the front page article entitled,
"Fayette's last living 'real daughter' of the Confederacy, 109,
is recognized."
Lots
of pilots make a lot less than many people think
Mr. Beverly, I am
writing in response to some of the comments you made at the end of your
column in regards to pilots and strikes.
Forget
the techno-gadgets; please, buy our school kids basic, useful desks
In 1998, 1999 and
2000, we Fayette voters were called upon to vote on the financing of
our public schools. Between the 1998 and the 2000 elections, we also
had the opportunity to change the personnel on our Board of Education
(BOE). Some may think our work is now done, but this is no time for
those of us who care about the public education of our children to be
complacent, as we've given the BOE the opportunity to spend large sums
of money, including the opportunity to misspend a lot of it.
Former
PTC Clerk: Festering intrigues, politics
After reading a
recent article in The Citizen Newspaper concerning the city clerk position,
I feel that it could have been misconstrued by some of your readers
that I had initiated a sexual harassment complaint against Councilman
Dan Tennant.
More
opinions about Delta, unions, strikes
Change
is needed . . .
I have been a Delta
flight attendant for 23 years, and a union activist for the past six
of those years. Lately there has been a lot said of Delta, much of it
negative. I found your article very interesting because it captured
many of the thoughts that Delta employees have experienced lately. It
is very difficult to characterize what the workers of Delta have gone
through in the past several years.
Delta
retirees will suffer from a strike
I am a 61-year-old
retired Delta station manager who is now a Methodist pastor. I worked
for Delta from May 1959 to November 1993.
