The highest paid
segment of our society has too much time on their hands. While the rest
of us really work, the pilots and athletes and entertainment-industry
types have seemed to evolved into a stroke-and-strike mentality.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tone
down rhetoric and look for some answers
I have written a
few times in the past and always said that I am on no one's side in
the ongoing battles we face in Peachtree City. My past letters have
found me on the opposite side of City Hall; this time I find myself
somewhere in the middle. I am writing to talk about the traffic situation
at Ga. highways 54 and 74 and the tone of the discourse we are conducting
in Peachtree City and Fayette County. I ask your forgiveness for my
long-windedness.
Fayette
Christians should renounce Confederacy
In light of our
recent Presidential debates, I hope I'm given my "two minutes"
to respond. I read the articles of the persons that responded to my
letter to the editor and in part wish to offer additional comments to
all of them, specific and general.
Proposed
PTC burn building is a necessity
In light of our
recent Presidential debates, I hope I'm given my "two minutes"
to respond. I read the articles of the persons that responded to my
letter to the editor and in part wish to offer additional comments to
all of them, specific and general.
Civil
War was about tariffs, not about slavery

Why
I joined Confederate Veterans
First and maybe
most important, I AM a great-great-grandson of seven Confederate veterans,
and a great-great-great-grandson of seven more Confederate veterans.
I am a son of Confederate veterans by direct lineage and genealogy.
It is my birthright and heritage. The blood of these Confederate soldiers
runs in my veins and those of my descendants.

Correcting
a typo in letter
My letter concerning
the sudden departure of Harold Bost from the commission that was printed
in the April 25 edition contains a typo error. Mr. Bost actually has
served about 8 percent of his elected term. My letter indicated that
he had served less than 1 percent of this term when I meant it to read
less than 10 percent.
