Stop
road rage: Get out of the left lane

After all these
years of undiagnosed road rage, I'm finally outing myself: I get angry
at some drivers.
July
16 in PTC: Welcome to water wars?
By
DENNIS CHASE
Everything you ever
wanted to know about water, wastewater treatment and watershed management
is about to be delivered to you in three pretty reports. At least that
is what the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District would
have you believe. I suggest, however, when you attend their public meeting
next Wednesday, July 16, you view their "dog and pony show"
with serious skepticism.

Any official who
visits a Georgia river, stream or creek after a heavy rain understands
why Brant Keller is a wanted man.
Supreme
Court's sodomy ruling: Battle now shifts to the states
By WILLIAM
S. MOUNT
Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation
Unless unconscious
or off the planet, you've surely heard the news of the United States
Supreme Court's rulings handed down last month in two cases that have
already produced a Niagara of comment.
- LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Golf
cart ruling: What's big deal? Ignore the ban
I can't understand
what the big fuss is about 15-year-olds driving golf carts.
State
can't have it both ways: Reinstate golf cart tax credit
In all the hoopla
that has been raised over the past couple of weeks about needing a drivers
license to drive a cart, one issue has been overlooked.
Golf
cart ruling by court seems ironic given Fayette's air quality challenges
It is with great
interest and dismay I write to you regarding the state's ruling requiring
drivers' licenses for golf cart operation.
Cart
ban punishes innocents
It has come to my
attention that local citizens of Peachtree City are not allowed to operate
a golf cart unless they are licensed drivers. I myself am at the age
of 14 where I enjoy driving to stores or just plain driving around with
parental supervision. I enjoy being able to go out and drive the golf
cart with my mom, dad, and even the whole family.
15
too early for most drivers
As a 15-year resident
of Peachtree City I wonder what the proponents of 15-year-olds driving
golf carts by themselves were thinking.
Tested
15s are ready for cart
I have already written
to my local government concerning the ruling and informed them that
their action or non-reaction will be a deciding factor next election.
Ruling
hurts ill, handicapped
I wanted to give
my input to the state's ruling on golf carts. My neighbor is a single
mother of three; she has multiple sclerosis. Her daughter will be 15
in August.
After
great parade, let's support Battle of Bands
By all estimates,
the parade involvement figures were probably the largest in the city's
history. Special recognition goes to Susan Taylor from our city staff
for her heroic effort as our parade coordinator. Governor Perdue was
very impressed by the large showing and the large number of golf carts
that were utilized by the spectators and parade entrants.
Prevent
boat dock nastiness
We have an opportunity
to prevent a tragedy in Peachtree City and a black eye on our community's
name.
Cat
chaos ensues when owners abandon animals
Irresponsible pet
owners are causing problems for us citizens that do give a damn. In
August 2002 my wife and I returned from a week out of town only to find
a feline and her four kittens under my restored car.
Column
breath of fresh air
Thank you, John
Thompson, for your column regarding ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court
overturning sodomy laws. I'm not familiar with your writing or your
political views, but I just assumed before reading it that the article
would be negative on the issue.
State
needs coordinator for character education
My husband and I
are a retired Army chaplain's family which has been called in to the
character building business wherever we find ourselves. We were both
able to contribute to the U.S. Army Chaplaincy's "Moral Leadership
Manual" before retiring from active duty. We have tried to "fight
the fight and run the race" by observing moral education around
the world and by encouraging people to do the moral thing in their everyday
lives.
Let
kids believe in Potter's world while they are able
In reply to Chris
Turner's letter that likened a harmless children's novel to that of
a stepping stone towards moral bankruptcy, I must firmly contend against
the opinion he supports of suffocating adolescent imagination in order
to preserve Christianity.
Reported
charges now dropped
Just wanted to let
you know that all charges against Jacob Marullo and Joseph Bates have
been dropped due to lack of evidence.
