Looking
for the good is the best
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
Optimists and pessimists
used to be defined respectively as people who saw the glass half full
or half empty. I guess today, in a "Code Orange" world, they
would be defined as seeing the world as either "halfway to Code
Yellow" or "halfway to Code Red." Optimists today, though,
probably qualify for minority status.
Fayetteville's
Southside project was win-win for entire community
By KEN STEELE
Fayetteville Mayor
The Fayetteville
City Council recently approved all of the necessary ordinances and development
agreements to bring the Southside Master Plan to a successful conclusion.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Bush
not making errors like those before WWII
I read with amused
interest Timothy J. Parker's concept of what's going on in the world
today. How soon we forget 9/11, or more to the point, has Timothy J.
Parker ever taken the time to read what led to World War II?
Consider
wildlife, lengthy drought before draining lake
I have recently
been reading in the local papers, about the upcoming dredging of Lake
Peachtree and the possibility of emptying the lake to accomplish this
project. I also understand that it is a job that can be done without
emptying the lake.
Divisive
Confederate flag hasn't really disappeared; it's everywhere you look
Where has the Confederate
Flag gone?
Here's
a story you won't hear during Black History Month
Another February
[and] another Black History Month is here. And the politically correct
have all the say as to who is featured during Black History Month. Regardless
of the politeness of the politically correct censorship, the censorship
is still wrong.
Georgians
would benefit from more voter initiatives
In his letter, S.
Christopher Hagin criticized the notion of a referendum on the state
flag. He showed a naive ignorance of the value of referendums.
Flag
debate won't change minds, can only hurt state
Governor Perdue
has embarked upon a no-win situation with this flag issue thing. The
hope of "encouraging public debate so that the issues can be resolved"
is about as far off target as you can get.
When
is council going to assert its control over PTC?
The last issue of
the Peachtree City newsletter promulgated a new motto our city, "The
Quality of Life Capital of the South."
Protesters
in past hailed host of authoritarian rulers
The recent protests
should not alarm those who understand history. Democracy is a rare and
precious thing and those who take to the streets in support of authoritarian
rule are more common then most of us would believe.
Seabaugh's
bill is aimed at increasing insurance profits
I guess Senator
[Mitch] Seabaugh has been a politician long enough. He seems to have
graduated with honors from his "political spin" class.
Civil
rights laws prevent PTC from excluding some
I read [Chadwick]
Barr's and [Michael] Thompson's "PTC growth brings unwanted traffic,
crime."
Right
to speak without restraint has been taken away
As a resident of
Fayetteville, I completely agree with this article. Unfortunately, Fayetteville
has taken the same course but more rapidly than Peachtree City. Thank
god, editors still allow freedom of speech.
Examine
premises behind low income and criminal behavior
In response to the
article written by Chadwick Barr and Michael Thompson who clearly seem
to be concerned residents of Peachtree City I would like to state that
exclusion on the basis of race, class, and gender is illegal.
