Christmas

It's that time of
year again, so as you gather your dysfunctional family together, as
we all do, here are a few Christmas carols you might be singing.
Cloning,
affordable insurance on agenda
By
MAC COLLINS
Congressman
The Terrorism
Risk Protection Act (H.R. 3210)
On Nov. 29, with
my support, the House of Representatives passed the Terrorism Risk Protection
Act (H.R. 3210). This legislation will make it possible for American
business of all sizes to purchase affordable insurance in the post-Sept.
11 environment. The bill enables businesses to operate with the assurance
that they will have the necessary coverage against future terrorist
attacks. It does so by providing a mechanism for the insurance companies
to pay claims from a large-scale attack, like those on Sept. 11.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Cities
should pay jail fees for city prisoners
A few weeks ago
I told you of my concern about a presentation on the municipal prisoner
issue, made to the Association of Fayette County Governments. Now, we
see more attempts to manipulate public opinion by negotiating a municipal
prisoner agreement via the media.
Columnist
should admit to Columbine's Bernall 'myth'
I think columnist
John W. Whitehead was wrong about the wisdom of allowing parents to
post religious icons and messages in Columbine High School, but I'll
defer to his expertise on that one. He's the one with a law degree.
But I'm not going to let him keep telling the Cassie Bernall "myth"
as if it were a reality. Clearly Whitehead's not a professional journalist
(and perhaps Mr. Beverly is not a professional editor), because the
fact-checking for Mr. Whitehead's column stinks.
Rutherford
Institute defends Columbine column
Being out of the
office at present, Mr. Whitehead has asked me to respond to Brandon
Butler's comments and assure you of his commitment to providing clear
and credible commentary to the newspapers that publish his column. Please
feel free to publish the following in response to Mr. Butler's letter
to the editor:
After
realizing life's value, why do we permit abortion?
In the book "Tuesdays
with Morrie," the author is taking a class on dying. The professor
is suffering with a terminal illness. As he speaks about himself, you
come to realize that it is not so much about death but rather life.
With every turn of the page the question arises, Can we understand life
if we do not understand death?
Wynnmeade
is making a comeback; help us continue
Concerning Wynnmeade
subdivision, where I live, we are striving daily to change the image
of our neighborhood and we have accomplished quite a lot in a short
amount of time. We are very anxious in getting the word out that we
have gone too long as the "stepchild" of Peachtree City and
recognized only as that.
After
Sept. 11, skin color seems number one issue
The beautiful city
of New York where I had first landed in this country is no longer the
same.
Rolland
was here!
Rolland was here!
Parents'
second-hand smoke is really a form of child abuse
Some (including
me) say exposing children to secondhand smoke is child abuse.
Animal
rights activists show true colors in shark protection program
People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA), came very near to making one of the most
outrageous public relations gaffes in history, according to the New
American magazine. In so doing, however, the animal rights group has
revealed that it stands for animal over human rights.
