Citizen's Perspective
The announcement
that Thomaston Mills will close its doors after 102 years in the textile
manufacturing business should register more than a blip on our economic
radar screens.
Bush
booed in Sweden!

Laugh Lines
Jeesh. I never get
into writing much on politics, but sometimes I just get dragged in,
like some dad of a middle school girl, being tugged every six months
to an 'Nsync concert.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Praise
for one, a plea for another
I would like to
leave three thoughts with you. Hopefully, you will find it in your hearts
to act upon the latter two.
Now
is the time to put EMS money in budget

article "Tie Vote Dooms added EMS slots" Citizen - June 13:
For
discipline and education, homeschooling not a bad idea
This is why I choose
to homeschool my children. I have a college degree, and a lot of money
owed in student loans. But, instead of utilizing my degree for the benefit
of whomever I may serve, I choose to serve my children by homeschooling

make ends meet in our household). To give you a better idea of "making
ends meet," my husband does not make over $40,000 a year, we have
our own home, we don't starve, and we have everything we want.

truth about government spending and deficits
The cat is finally
out of the bag on those horrid "Reagan deficits" that we have
heard about through Democrat mythology since the 1980s. In an opinion
piece published May 27 in the New York Times, chief Clinton-Gore administration
propagandists and dirty tricks experts James Carville and Paul Bagala
disclosed that through their control of the Congress, the Democrats
simply boosted spending at every turn, resulting in sky-high deficits
which were then blamed on Reagan.
