Tit
for tat Some rules for Democrats
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Last week, I gave
my responses to "21 rules for being a good little Republican in
21st century America," which have been floating around on the Internet.
A
time of endings, a time of beginnings
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
This is a week for
passages, preschool to kindergarten, fifth grade to the middle years,
eighth grade to high school, and for hundreds of high school seniors,
the giant passage, high school to all points beyond.
In
today's fairy tales, women rock
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
It is only a recent
phenomenon that children's animated movie heroines kick butt. Would
it have made a difference if girls and boys of a different era had grown
up watching girls in Disney movies react actively and aggressively instead
of passively?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tennant:
'Denial ain't a river in Egypt, King Bob'
It just gets more
and more amazing as time goes on...
BOE
muddling, not mulling, new schools
Will it be a little
too late, or is the Fayette County Board of Education confused, or perhaps
they are just muddling along as usual?
Good
old boy politics: Lenox still just doesn't get it
Sometimes, even
when you put it in print, some people still do not get it. Such is the
case with the current Peachtree City mayor, Bob Lenox.
Teenage
vandals making life miserable
Who is responsible?
Fly
those flags this Memorial Day
As commander-elect
of VFW Post 9949 we urge the residents of Peachtree City and Fayette
County to display the flag on Memorial Day in memory of all those that
served this great country of ours. The veteran may have served in combat
or in our military forces anywhere, but pay honor to them for all the
wars and time that the men and women gave so that we today live in the
manner that we have for once and for all.
Change
county commission elections so that districts elect their own reps
Recently the newspaper
reported there is a chance that Fayette County could have three congressional
districts. The article commented as to the potential for multiple districts
and received input from state legislators. It did not conclude that
this would be good or bad for the county.
Let
PTC Council individually pay for traffic upgrades
[Cal Beverly's column]
was very informative and well written. My issue is with the city. When
my family moved to Peachtree City four years ago, it was because of
its "small town" feel. If all the citizens are honest with
themselves (and quit bragging about PTC being this great "upscale"
community), I'm sure they know that the small town feeling is quickly
going to be history.
Add
these Delta employees to 'crybaby' roster
Delta Airlines has
always prided itself in saying that it take care of its employees and
also that its work force will always be the highest paid in the industry.
Zell's
zig-zagging irrelevant; Demos will retake Congress
I'd like to respond
to Dave Hamrick's column regarding Zell Miller's possible switching
political parties.
Slavery:
What does history say?
I, like Mr. Greg
Sims, desire the truth to prevail. I took his suggestion to read various
speeches from the Civil War era, and I would like to share my summary
of what I found.
Teens
and dress codes: It's a fashion thing, duh!
It was with a great
deal of shock that I read A. M. Muska's rebuttal to Ms. Greer's letter
to the editor. Greer's letter talked about the oppressive dress code
at area schools.
School
has been responsive
I wanted to give
a brief update on what has happened since I e-mailed the letter about
my Fayette Middle School daughter's fashion travails.
This
could help some save on taxes
One of my neighbors
recently informed me of considerable property tax savings. I could have
taken advantage of this three years ago. The information is on the back
of your tax bill, but I never look there after getting over the "sticker
shock" amount on the front.
If
council obeys its own ordinance, big boxes may have lost right to build
I am in favor of
governmental accountability and obeying the ordinances that are provided
for the protection of our health, safety and welfare.
Why
should PTC taxpayers be forced to pay for traffic generated by big boxes?
"PTC Taxpayers
Pay Again; Developer Gets Break."
U.S.
unpreparedness threatens another Pearl Harbor
Suppose that on
Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. had in place at Pearl Harbor advanced radar,
the latest antiaircraft weapons, adequate pursuit and interceptor aircraft
that compared to the Zero in maneuverability, and a navy already equipped
with carrier task forces. In other words, a military specifically designed
to thwart the most capable potential adversary in the Pacific. Would
the Japanese have dared to attack?
