When the
delegates to the Republican National Convention next
summer pick their nominee for president — or,
actually, when the Republican caucus and primary
voters bind those delegates to vote for one or the
other of the current crop of candidates — they
will be deciding more than just the man (or woman)
they want to be their party's standard-bearer in the
2000 election.

You have to think back to what I would look like
young and you should recognize. I was the
“Guy Friend.” Not the boyfriend. Just
the guy friend. You know, the guy who sat with
you in science lab or whatever, the guy who was
safe. You know, you could laugh together and go
places. But it was always strictly platonic.

Recent MARTA killing shows why so
many oppose trains here
After reading Sallie
Satterthwaite's's column about mass transit, and Ms.
McClain concerns, it did not take long to get an
answer. As we all know by now, the day after the
column ran, a MARTA passenger getting off at the
Buckhead station lost his life while walking to a
friend's home. He had suitcases that were still at
the scene after the crime; the criminals did not take
them. It was interesting to see and hear the friend
that the victim was going to meet state what the
problem was. His words were: “It's MARTA's
fault; ever since they built the Buckhead station,
the crime has skyrocketed.”
Some things are worse than a few stolen TVs or VCR
I read the article by Sallie
Satterthwaite on Wednesday, June 9, re: MARTA or
trains having crime. Crime does not consist only of
TV and VCR stealing. Some things are worse than this.

Here comes the school board again,
asking for more money
Well, here we go again —
the school board is asking for more of the taxpayers
money. SPLOST went splosh, so here they come again.
What is so ironic to me is there is a panel that is
studying an impact fee; what's to study?
Kids with emotional problems often
fall through school cracks
Recently, I watched the mother
of the 15-year-old Conyers High School shooter,on TV
apologizing for her son's actions. I thought to
myself, what great courage she had,and my heart went
out to her.

Why are we celebrating a U.S.
victory?
The ancient Greeks had a word
that perfectly describes the recent U.S./NATO victory
in Kosovo. The word is pyrrhic, from Pyrrhus, a
king of Epireus, and it means simply a victory where
the cost of winning outweighs the benefits of
victory. In other words a pyrrhic victory is one in
which you lose nearly as much as you gain — thus
leaving one to wonder if the price of wining was
worth the cost.
