Want to save lives? Ban cars, not
guns

When authoritarian politicians
push for more gun control laws, they often claim to
be doing so in order to save lives.
Government is NOT like a
business
By LEE N.HOWELL
Politically Speaking
How often have
you heard some politician in either party rant and
rave on the stump about how government should be run
like a business?
- Sleeping good? Or
making mistakes?

- “Daddy, sleep is
boring.” With those words, I knew my
daughter was truly mine. Not that Olivia, my
4-year-old, hadn't already shown signs of being
my brood; like being shy and aggressive at the
same time or having an intense interest in
scratching away every surface to see what is
underneath.

Fayette address = poor mental health
care
As a family member of someone
with severe mental health problems, I caution
everyone against taking mental health for granted.
Mental illnesses affect one in four residents of our
community, including people of all ages, races,
creeds, and economic groups. The good news is, mental
disorders can be treated effectively, but only if you
have unlimited finances or access to health care
coverage. And while mental health care coverage
should be on par with physical health care coverage,
unfortunately, insurance discrimination is common.
Nearly 97 percent of health insurance plans limit
mental health coverage. But, even so, those with
insurance coverage are lucky.
Is it moral to build big jail near
school, homes?
At the September Fayette County
Board of Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Harold
Bost led the meeting with a prayer asking that the
commissioners make their decisions with integrity. I
was under the impression that integrity meant
“uprightness of character and soundness of moral
principle as well as honesty.”
Fayetteville used to be a great
place to raise children
Myself and many of my neighbors
are so disappointed with how so many different issues
are being handled in the City of Fayetteville. What
most people fail to recognize is that all the issues,
growth, SPLOST, and the new jail are all connected.
Pay for cleanup: Impose fee on
fast-food debris
Peachtree City is a beautiful
community, and on the whole, most of the members of
the community are mindful of what a great place it is
to live and be a part of such a place. However, it
seems that there are parents that never taught their
children to be respectful of other people's property.
Advice on next SPLOST
An open letter to Fayette County
Board of Education Chairman Debbie Condon: First,
your errors.
Village Cafe chef replies to diner
critical of restaurant's prime rib, chicken
I read with interest the letter
written by one of your readers who elaborated on
Fayette County's inability to attract
“upscale” restaurants, and how the Village
Cafe had to lower its standards to please its
clientele, concluding that “Fayette County
residents obviously would not know a fine restaurant
even if they were in front of one.” Of course,
“people on the north side do know good food and
as a result enjoy good restaurants.”
