Casualty
of war: politically correct
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh Lines
Where is political
correctness now? In times of war, we see just what is important and
what isn't. Our war, which is a response to being attacked, has suddenly
made it all too evident just how ridiculous the religion of "PC"
ever was. Our sheltered, privileged world in the United States was shattered
when we were attacked by terrorism, and we need to accept and realize
that too many years of PC mentality played a part in just why we were
attacked.

bill protects U.S. textile industry

Congressman
During the week
the Congress considered 24 legislative measures under "Suspension
of the rules." These "Suspension" measures are usually
non-controversial bills that require the support of at least two-thirds
of the House members in order for the legislation to be approved. Of
the 24 suspensions considered last week there were several notable measures,
including:
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
City
courts should not be just 'money makers'
I applaud County
Commissioner Peter Pfeifer's efforts to communicate with the public
and was glad to read his letter to the editor in last week's Citizen.
I wish more of our public officials would communicate directly with
the public as he does, and so forthrightly.
Rower:
Thanks to PTC men and women who serve without recognition
The runoff election
is behind us and I wanted to take a few moments to thank the many wonderful
people who helped make my campaign the success that it was. Our community
is filled with so many giving individuals who neither ask for nor receive
recognition. They do not seek accolades. They do a job simply because
it needs to be done.
Did
we forget Bush's tally?
The cartoon attempting
to link the ACLU with terrorism that was published in The Citizen Dec.
5 was in exceptionally poor taste.
Appreciating
Indian neighbors
Wow! What a great
letter in The Citizen Dec. 5 by Mrs. Neelam Sharma (Tripathi), "After
Sept. 11, skin color seems number one issue."
What
to do about unwanted radio signals in home?
Wondering who I
have to thank for recent problems with radio frequency interference
out here at Gaelic Glen subdivision in Tyrone.
What
to do about these unwanted papers in yard?
I moved to Peachtree
City from Atlanta six years ago. In Atlanta, when you go out of town,
if you stop your newspaper, have the post office hold your mail, and
maybe put a timer on your house lights, you can relax in the knowledge
that you've done everything you can to make your home appear normal
so that it won't be a target for criminals.
Boylan
needs rock'n'roll education
In my opinion Michael
Boylan is an ignoramus and a poor writer, and you should strive to keep
him as far away as possible from a word processor, typewriter or pencil.
Clinton
shares blame for terrorism
According to press
reports, Bill Clinton confided to friends on Sept. 14, 2001, that he
envies G.W. Bush's good fortune in having the Sept. 11 attacks occur
during his presidency, although he (Clinton) believes he could do a
better job of managing this "defining moment." He also implied
in a speech at Georgetown University that the U.S. may have been experiencing
some sort of payback from the attacks. These are strange comments from
a former president (or co-president) who did much to indirectly aid
and abet terrorists and terrorism through the following actions:
