There are many problems with our country lately, but that can be discussed separately. Worse than the problems though is our desire to solve them is non-existent. I just don't know how long all this can last, considering the situations that now exist.

So, I'm back...for a while, anyway. Stop reading now if you don't want to know about my life and what's going on in it. Dollar, that means you; you tend to comment on things when they don't inspire bickering and differences of opinions, so you can stop reading now.

Prior to WW11, up to 90% of our jobs were either on a farm, or related to farming. If you had asked most of those people if they were afraid of losing their livelihood, they would have said no. We will always need food.

Buzz,

I noted your retirement announcement on Dave Robert's retired Delta pilot's net. That posting linked with the article in the The Citizen. The background that the Citizen article gave was very interesting.

They do not work here. There is no way that people who are on the cell phone, drinking a cup of Starbucks, have their makeup kit out, and minding the kids, can determine just who is next to pull out at a four way intersection.

Billy Donovan's stint with the Orlando Magic is nearing its end - and it had hardly even begun. Is he making the right move going back to the University of Florida?

For what it's worth....I think if Duby has any gonad that either Laura or Cheeeney will let him feel...Pardon Scooter. End it now.

During the summer, The Citizen will be doing a series of stories on the rapidly-escalating number of home foreclosures in Fayette County.

I'll get straight to my question of the day: Is Nascar a sport?

Rode over to the 'ville & see DuRoc is goin' "All U Can Eat" Country Cookin' w/ coffee.

I guess someone will be excited.

When the mayor openly said he wanted more big box stores and the TDK Extension, he opened Pandora's box. Now we are going to get riddled with requests like the "NEW and IMPROVED" Lowes proposal.

Al Gore is a very brilliant man, and to lose to such a sad sack as Bush has turned out to be must have saddened him greatly--not for himself, but for the country. He knew what might happen!

Two girls killed at Stockbridge graduation party fight

Until the last two minutes of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, I hadn't watched any NBA this year. My eye caught the close score in the final 1:30 of game 4 though and I clicked over. Although I still couldn't bring myself to watch an entire game for Game 5 or 6, I did watch more of each of those games (usually right around the end). It was great to see LeBron James come into his own and I have to admit my interest in the NBA finals is a little piqued.

Has anyone been or heard if this is any good? It's the previous owners of Valentino's in Peachtree City. They went in the building where Johnny Carino's used to be in Newnan.

For they're used to the cant of the quarterdeck's slant

An excellent read by Peggy Noonan, former speech writer for President Reagan from the Wall Street Journal.

Too Bad
President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.

You deserve to know all of the news that comes out of Iraq. So why don't you hear any of the news released by the United States Central Command in Iraq? Where is this news being censored and why?

I just ran a WEB Site Speed Test on "www.thecitizen.com" and it simply failed.

Dick, Dick, Dick,

I bought a 2007 Dicktionary the other day and your picture was in it under the new phrase Hindenburg Editorializer:

I will disagree with the writer saying that the SMHS graduation was a disgrace. It was a beautiful ceremony and if you really cared for the students you would no be saying those mean words.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition Forces killed six terrorists and detained 18 suspected terrorists in operations targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq Thursday and Friday.

2001 through May 30 20007, we will never negotiate with terrorists!

June 1, 2007, on: Lt. Colonels are now NEGOTIATING with all local terrorist gang leaders to try and stop them from klling us!

Was anyone else as angry as I was to hear about Andrew Speaker, the Atlanta attorney who knowingly exposed hundreds, if not thousands, of people to TB? I was absolutely astonished when I heard about his extensive travels abroad, when he KNEW he was infected with this.
