Small talk on this
and that, for what it's worth ...
Jack
of all trades, master of fun
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
All of us frequently
ask the question to ourselves, "When I am gone, what will I be
remembered for?" Besides ending a lot of sentences with a lot of
prepositions, I think I should be remembered as an innovator and an
inventor. Sure, I am no Albert Einstein, figuratively or literally,
but I have had my moments.
Why
IRS should stop taxing dividends: Isn't once enough?
By SHELDON RICHMAN
Why is it controversial
to propose an end to double taxation?
Collins
cosponsors bill that will ban most partial birth abortions
By MAC COLLINS
Congressman
[Last] week, the
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was introduced for consideration
in the House of Representatives. I was proud to offer my support as
an original cosponsor of this important legislation which would ban
the gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Foolish
leadership has led to inevitable war
If you have ever
read Shakespeare's "Henry V," you'll recall a very memorable
scene where the emissary of the dauphine (the French heir to the throne)
presents the bellicose Henry with a gift of tennis balls. The implication
is that Henry should stick to being a carefree playboy and not bother
trying to claim the French throne through his mother's side.
Previous
flag is linked forever with racism
Harold Harrison
has seen right through me.
Flag
support is based on respect for South's past
I would like to
take this opportunity to point out to the community just where the racial
antagonism is, was, and will continue to come from in the Georgia flag
debate.
Flag
referendum wasteful, unconstitutional: Don't do it
I oppose referendums
on principle. Our forefathers over 200 years ago created a republic,
not a democracy. It is been proven many times that an elected law- or
policy-making body does a better job of enacting laws than citizens
do via referendum.
Flag
at odds with Ga. motto: Wisdom, justice, moderation
I agree, we, the
citizens of Georgia, should have the opportunity to vote on which flag
we would like representing our state.
Please,
NAACP, boycott us
I couldn't help
but laugh when the NAACP said if the Georgia flag was voted back in
that they would boycott Georgia. Dear Lord, what a blessing!
County
about to err by draining Lake Peachtree
Brace yourselves,
Peachtree City residents. The Fayette County Water Committee is about
to take us all for a ride. Having learned nothing from their past mistakes,
they have generated bid documents for the dredging of Lake Peachtree
that allow the lake to be drained and dried as part of the process.
There
should be red alert for more and more taxes
If we had color-coded
alerts for taxes, I am afraid we'd always be at the red level, the highest.
PTC
growth brings unwanted traffic, crime
We are writing on
behalf of the citizens of Peachtree City who are greatly concerned for
the future of our city and way of life.
Many
students disrespect America's flag and its values
Freedom is a word
in which the kids of this generation do not fully understand. It saddens
me to realize that over half the students in my school could care less
about the status of the United States and the Middle East.
Draft
column doesn't compute
[Columnist Mark]
Shields and others seem to believe it is unfair that when America has
to go to war, the majority of those who have to fight are from poor
families.
