troubling issues keep coming up about Iraq
By JOHN MUNFORD

I don’t know
if you’ve caught that heart-pounding thriller of a TV show called
“24”.
Forget
the Alamo: Ga. moves to dumb down h.s. history curriculum
By
JOSEPH JARRELL
World History Teacher, McIntosh High School, Peachtree City, Ga.
The Georgia Department
of Education recently unveiled a draft of the new high school history
curriculum. Officials tout it as “world class.” It’s
not. They describe it as “rigorous” and “strengthened.”
It’s neither. With much fanfare, spokesmen say it will raise expectations.
It won’t.
Budget
cuts, HOPE on the agenda
By
JOHN YATES
Representative, District 85, Post 1
This is my first
report for 2004 and I purposely stressed the counties that I represent
under former Gov. Barnes’ mismanaged reapportionment of the General
Assembly. While I like the conservative-leaning people in all four of
the counties, it is not fair to the citizens when they find that my
schedule does not allow me an opportunity to properly visit all of you.

EDITOR

Reader:
‘Lynch-ed’ by column about schools
After reading
the racist, insensitive article written by J. Frank Lynch, I began
to really understand just how far we are away from uniting this society
and community. Mr. Lynch should not be allowed to “pour gasoline”
on an already smoldering issue.
Gay
unions: Ellis erred on facts, meaning of ‘rights’
Jeff Ellis engaged
in typical misrepresentation of religion, facts, and the meaning of
rights in his response to Dr. Throckmorton.
Target
is not a good neighbor
I received an e-mail
from a lady [who] lives in Georgia and had an interesting observation
about our new neighbors-to-be, Target Stores.
Save
Mars money for Earthlings
President Bush has
proclaimed it a national vision to once more send human beings to the
moon and to use the moon as a springboard for sending human explorers
to Mars.
These
are important issues nobody is addressing
I do not know which
way to vote in the upcoming election. I am not really seeing much discussion
on the issues that I am concerned with in any of the media. There are
certain key issues that need solutions or this country will continue
to decline into debt and mediocrity.
Another
one bites the dust
Donna Romeo is but
the latest casualty of our local band of political henchmen. I suppose
eight years of her life was not enough to justify allowing her to resign
under duress and go quietly. This approach would require far too much
integrity and common decency.
Migration
is 1 thing, invasion another
Subject: RE: We
are foolish to think we an stop inexorable migrations of people.
The
lines are being drawn for this Sunday’s war
Dear Northern and
Southern relatives:
There’s battle
lines being drawn, somewhere in Maryland, splitting my extended family
North and South. On one side those victorious Super Bowl veterans of
past battles, the New England Patriots. On the other side we have the
(hell no we ain’t fergetten) upstarts, the Carolina Panthers.
This
Lee had a birthday
After hearing a
recent news report that spray-painting thugs had vandalized a statue
of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Va., I was tempted to write a few
negative comments about some of the groups who inspire this type of
hatred, But I decided instead to relate a story I once read about Gen.
Lee.
Great
guns ! Oops ...
Mr. Boylan, you
started out great: Some good news on guns in the paper [The Citizen,
Jan. 14]. Then as I read on, things changed and I will have to disagree
with the article.
