An
Editorial: What about our rights?
Is
this how 2,000 years of cultural history gets trashed? Without any of
us ordinary citizens getting even one chance to vote whether to keep
traditional marriage as is or to “redefine” civilized society’s
most basic unit?
An
Editorial: The gay marriage debate: Some servants and some mis-representatives
State Senator Mike
Crotts, who represents a portion of southeastern Fayette, introduced
the same-sex marriage ban in the upper house and has served as the lightning
rod for predictable bashings by activists and gay marriages’ biggest
cheerleader in Georgia: The AJC.

The little boy stood
in the middle of the bedroom he shared with his twin brother and sobbed.
He knew what he had done was a bad thing, but not knowing how to fix
it was worst. His mom and dad had told him not to play with his brother’s
toys, but like most 5-year-olds, he didn’t listen. Now his twin
brother’s much beloved toy, Ultra Man, lay at his feet, broken
into many pices.
Two
gay people marrying: It was all so normal

MICHAEL BOYLAN
Well, I’m back,
sort of, and I’m here to tell you that I’ve been in the belly
of the beast, my friends. I’ve been front and center in a place
that apparently is the most terrifying, doom-bringing, hell-hole on
the planet these days. And I’m not talking about Buckhead, either.
That’s right. I’m talking about a gay wedding.

- Who’s
the real power behind the push for county police force?
I think many people
don’t realize the real issue behind the commissioners wanting
the marshals to be county police. It’s about politicians with
no experience in law enforcement wanting to control the lawmen who
police our county.
Citizens
must decide on county police
Please allow me
this opportunity to offer a short response to many recent articles regarding
the county commission filing a law suit against Sheriff Randall Johnson.
It’s
a conflict of interest for lawyers to vote on tort reform
Re: Malpractice
costs run off another Georgia doctor.
Gibson’s
‘masochistic Christianity’ is grotesque
For Lent, why not
meditate on Mel Gibson’s horror movie, “The Passion.”
Is there something inherent in our Judeo-Christian culture and psyche
which is demonic, that is, obsessed with incivility, brutality, oppression,
violence, torture, bloodshed, inhumanity, barbarism, cruelty, war, and
death?
Movie
meant to provoke questions, discussions
I saw this movie
Thursday and it literally took my breath away. I encourage those who
might be on the fence to see it, if only once, to gain a true understanding
of this historically accurate event.
Who
done it? Consider some distinctions ...
With the advent
of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of The Christ” comes a barrage
of media coverage to match the hype surrounding the film. The movie
explicitly depicts the torture of Jesus Christ in gruesome detail. One
reviewer writes, “The agony is graphically and excruciatingly portrayed.”
Christians
must show love to gays
This is in response
to Mr. Jeff Ellis’s letter [The Citizen, Feb. 18, 2004].
Constitution
misused in gay rights debate
The gay and lesbian
marriages that are taking place in this country right now angers me.
These activist elected officials are breaking the law. My first concern
is nothing is being done legally to stop this. Why are these activists
not being arrested and the marriages performed not annulled? What is
happening to this country?
Dixie
T-shirts represent proud, cherished past
A fiery, but unknown
and thus probably not very brave writer in the “Free Speech”
section of your paper took offense to the fact that children in our
local schools wear the very popular Dixie Outfitters T-shirts, with
their Confederate flags, and symbols, to local schools.
PTC
Target: Traffic safety must rule
Peachtree City officials,
I am writing to express my views to each of you regarding Council’s
March 4 meeting to discuss Faison’s appeal of the Planning Commission
action denying Faison approval of their conceptual site plan for the
Kedron shopping center expansion.
Pre-K
article contained erroneous info
I wanted to bring
to your attention some errors and misleading information contained in
an article Feb 11 [about] registration for Pre-K and Kindergarten classes.
