Sacred
vows, sacred cows: Catholics and gays
By DANIEL L. WEISS
Everyone's talking
about the crisis in the Catholic Church. What about the crisis in the
media? Specifically, how can liberal journalists roundly condemn the
Church without harming their sacred cow: homosexuality?

Note: In
trying to expand my writing styles I have been reading outside of my
normal literary repertoire (yeah, like I have one). I wrote this shortly
after reading a couple of "Romance" novels, not to mention
too many visits to McDonald's.
LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
For
little emergencies, use Fayette's 'little' ER
Finding ourselves
in a real emergency recently in the doctor's office at Fayette Medical
Clinic [in Fayetteville], we had to rush my husband across the way to
the Fayette Community Hospital Minor Emergency Room. They acted swiftly,
competently and professionally to meet my husband's immediate needs.
County
commission misleads us about air pollution severity
It is alarming,
and somewhat embarrassing, that our [Fayette] County Commission refuses
to admit that Fayette County has an air pollution problem, even though
state and federal agencies have confirmed that the problem exists and
ranks the Atlanta region as one of the worst in the country.
For
the vets, let's all fly the flag Memorial Day
As commander of
Peachtree City VFW Post 9949, I 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.
Best
method to clean the lake is by bucket barge
I have been reading
with interest the recent articles and letters regarding the upcoming
dredging of Lake Peachtree. Let's keep in mind the purpose of this entire
effort is to enhance our water supply, removing silt in order to regain
capacity. In light of the recent boom in local development as well as
the ongoing drought, this dredging project is timely and necessary.
Godfrey:
PTC Council is 'ethically challenged'
The Development
Authority of Peachtree City (DAPC) is appalled at the actions of the
mayor and certain members of the City Council of Peachtree City last
Thursday night. The mayor allowed a non-agenda item to be brought before
the council and voted on with no public comment even though many folks
wanted to voice opposition to their actions.
To
'half-truths, lies,' some reasoned responses
Let me start by
saying I am not related to Peachtree City's new mayor. Almost from the
minute the Peachtree City mayoral election results were announced last
year, Gary Rower and his friends have been issuing a steady stream of
vitriol at the winner, Steve Brown.
How
can Mayor Brown complain about letters?
Peachtree City Mayor
Steve Brown wants all the negative letters to stop. Seems reasonable,
and if anyone should know about negative letters, it would be Steve
Brown, the undisputed king of negative letters.
Thanks
to Brown for stands
Mayor Brown, thank
you for again standing up for the citizens you represent and risking
popular opinion by trying to persuade Peachtree City Council to commit
taxpayers to a lesser dollar option for necessary amenities at the air
show.
Father's
praise is no surprise
Regarding [the]
letter to the editor in The Citizen from Craig C. McAuley, of Haslett,
Mich., in support of the Tennis Center and The Peachtree City Development
Authority:
Is
it candy or country, Booth?
Say it isn't so!
Wonder
why there are no takers for this historical invitation to special party
It's truism in history
that what goes around comes around. Therefore, it was no surprise to
discover in the county archives the following letter to the editor published
by a Fayette County newspaper in 1834.
