Archaic
sodomy law is now gone with the wind
By JOHN

Nearly 40 years
ago, Bob Dylan wrote about the changing times. Well, Thursday's ruling
by the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned sodomy laws proves that our
society constantly moves forward.
Airport
Authority has done wrong by dedicated PTC public servant

This is too ironic.
I was debating how I could write in support of soon-to-be-deposed Peachtree
City-Falcon Field Manager Jim Savage when a faint memory sent me to
an album of old columns. I discovered two things: History sometimes
does repeat itself. And the outcry of an offended citizenry can sometimes
reverse the bad judgment of government.
When
Lester came to Fayette, and my take on Maynard and the torch
By CAROLYN

When putting together
events for the county's sesquicentennial in 1971, Jimmy Carter was governor
and Lester Maddox was lieutenant governor. They weren't exactly hand-in-glove,
so I thought it best to have the governor in the opening day's ceremony
and the lieutenant governor several days later.

Law
and morality: It's about whose morality
The supporters of
the Supreme Court's overturning of Texas' anti-sodomy law claim that
law cannot be founded on morality, especially "Christian"
morality, because we live in a pluralistic society of competing moral
world-views.
Authority
will rue the day it fired proven manager
The current Airport
Authority should be reminded that a downward spiral would also be a
"new direction" for Falcon Field.
In
midst of 4th fun, let's recall its sacrifice
As we celebrate
the July 4th Independence Day on Friday, let us remember that waving
the flag is the easy part; the hard part is paying for it.
State
court ban takes away teens' cart freedom
I am a 16-year-old
currently living in Peachtree City. I strongly disagree with the new
law that the state wants to put on us. First of all, I agree with Katie
Costello and Casey Langbehn. Second of all, I have lived in Peachtree
City for over seven years now and I have seen golf carts being used
by families and also older elderly residents.
Bad
cart drivers? It's teens with their drivers licenses
From my experience,
it is the teenagers (not all) with drivers licenses who drive
too fast and dangerously.
Golf
carts are good and safe idea for teens
I think it is a
great idea for kids to be able to drive the golf carts to school.
Gov.
Maddox unfailingly kind to all
When I was a small
boy, Lester Maddox was serving as lieutenant governor, and my mother
worked in his office.
Despite
rumors, school not likely to open by fall
It has come to my
attention that many of the residents of the Kedron/Crabapple elementary
schools attendance areas believe the proposed completion date for the
Crabapple building is before school starts in August 2003.
Children
likely to come away ready to dabble in witchcraft
I am writing in
response to Jennifer Gaynor's letter regarding the Harry Potter series
[The Citizen, June 25]. She had some good points about the story being
an allegory of good versus evil. However, she state's that Harry Potter
in "no part ... glorifies evil" and implies that the series
holds value for today's Christian family. I disagree.
