3 cheers for those holiday lights
By ROB BRADLEY
President, Institute for Energy Research

Environmental activists usually critical of electrified America must have mixed emotions this time of the year. Though it is a season of good cheer and goodwill toward all, it is also a time of conspicuous energy consumption.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Harris car use violates county’s ethics code

I read the letter exposing Solicitor General Steve Harris’ unethical use of a county vehicle for personal use and am simply dismayed at the corruption which seems to permeate our elected officials at every turn.

County commission responsible for deal

The Fayette Board of Commissioners are the ones who allowed Solicitor Steve Harris the personal use of the county car and they too should be held accountable.

Dr. Cano is innocent, and Solicitor General Steve Harris knows it

As one of the “witnesses” which Solicitor General Steve Harris claims to have come forward against Dr. Cano, I highly object to his perversion of the events surrounding my contact with his office.

With county lawmen focusing on arresting animal adopters, are we safer?

Fayette County marshals, Fayette County Sheriff’s deputies, Fayetteville police: With that much law enforcement on our roads, we should feel pretty safe. However, it appears there is not enough crime to go around or crime is at an all-time low. My daughter-in-law has been told she is going to be arrested because she did not have her adopted kitten neutered.

Prayer now football foul?

Open letter to Dr. Ralph Swearingen, president, Georgia High School Association: Thanks to you, it is a sad day in Georgia high school sports. I am sickened by your edict to Landmark Christian High School to refrain from a pre-game prayer.

This ‘feud’ is officially over

Please permit me to set the record straight regarding the article in your Dec. 17, 2003, issue titled, “Fayette Faces: The feud continues.”

Boom cars hazardous to health, our peace

The problems brought about by boom cars warrants much more attention than a letter. It would take a series of articles to cover all the aspects of the problems caused by these acoustic terror machines.

Don’t forget this restaurant

After reading your latest column, I felt I had to write to inform you of a restaurant you overlooked in your review of Fayette eating establishments.

Low-carb store story well done

Ellie White-Stevens’ article about the Mannings’ new Diet Delicious store was timely and gratefully read by this carbo addict! Not only was it well-written, but conveniently included the phone number of the new establishment.

The story you’re not seeing

(This letter was posted on the Internet by a young man whose brother had written him from Iraq:)

What is ‘right’?
