I like to consider
myself a well-rounded man. That means I read People magazine and Entertainment
Weekly, but I get news about the world from other sources as well. In
today's society, which is riddled with insane celebrity worship, that's
saying something.
Everything
I need to know I learned at this summer's movies . . .

Laugh Lines
In these times it
is not enough to live, but to live well. I have tried the self-help
books, I have tried the hair care products that the ads say will give
one life fulfillment. No luck. Calgon was not even effective enough
to "take me away." So after all the failures, I did the most
reasonable thing and went to the movies. Simply put, I let Hollywood
show me how to live.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Kids
selling wrapping paper won't raise SATs
I am writing to
express my utmost concern on the recent release of SAT statistics for
the state of Georgia and what I believe is contributing to our school's
decline in excellence. I am a Fayette County resident and our two children
attend Tyrone Elementary School.
Is
sending small kids out at dark to raise funds such a good idea?
Let me start this
out with the statement that I don't mean to sound like the Grinch. I
support many worthwhile charities and causes.
F'ville
making a mistake by annexing and rezoning along Hwy. 92 South
It has been recently
been brought to my attention that there are some major annexing and
rezoning issues occurring in the city of Fayetteville that will impact
the quality of life to South Fayetteville and South Fayette County residents.
Was
that a suggestion of eugenics in Moffat column?
In Dr. Gregory Moffat's
recent column, I detected the distinct odor of the eugenics of early
20-century Europe and America.
Science
mute about some things, religion about others
No attack on Christianity
is more dangerous than the infinite size and depth of the heavens."
"People give ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that
the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the
moon ... This fool wishes to reverse the entire scheme of astronomy;
but sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the earth to stand
still, not the sun."
Creation
story is a myth, but evolution is scientifically based
I read two items
of concern yesterday: Students in Georgia have the lowest SAT scores
nationwide and Cal Thomas' comments about evolution and creationism.
Both indicate a lack of educational excellence in Georgia.
What
evolutionists will never admit: It's on faith
I see this phrase
"pseudo-science" all too frequently as it relates to the debate
over evolution versus intelligent design. The argument usually goes
like this: Because intelligent design involves belief in a creator it
is inherently unscientific that is, it cannot be accommodated within
the framework of a theory where only natural processes can be considered.
Therefore any notion of intelligent design must be categorically discarded.
Responsible
15-year-olds should get to drive carts
Safety is common-sense,
but sometimes it helps for someone to call our attention to problems
or dangers that we have not considered but should have.
Honking
drivers rude, crude and inconsiderate
First, I would like
to thank our mayor and city officials who took time to listen to us
Golfview Drive residents and acted immediately to do something to help
us concerning the big problem we have had on our street for so long.
A problem, which I might add, we did not have years ago before more
growth and the opening of streets on the north end.
If
only more drivers had been slower, more careful
How many of you
can honestly say you stayed within the formerly posted speed limit of
30 mph on Golfview? Are you one of the many who came around the curve
so fast you didn't make it and slammed into a mailbox or hit a tree?
