  • I read Dot's comment on page one, who is all-too willing to give up freedom to feel safe on an airplane. That reminds me of a good quote from Benjamin Franklin about folks such as yourself.

• Who wins, who loses in Senate health bill

  Sun Dec 20, 2009
  • Let us not forget amidst the high intensity debate that is accompanying this health care bill one very important fact. That is, this proposed, health care plan is not good enough for the very people (Congress members themselves) who are thinking this is a great health care bill for the rest of us.

• Teens ignore laws against texting while driving

  • Since most cars already have governors, and black boxes in them, why not take it a step further. That is, equip all vehicles with devices that will make it impossible for them to start or run if a cell phone or text messaging device is turned on. Then that way if Idiot Q.

  Sat Dec 5, 2009
  • Reading upon all the many comments with regards to global warming, whether global warming is real, or just an excuse for governments around the world to exercise control and power power people, use it for wealth distribution, etc., I hope that President Obama remembers the following, per our …

• Death penalty changes after Nichols sentence?

  Sun Dec 14, 2008
  • Personally, I think that this man deserved the death penalty for his crimes. It must be nice for this perpetrator to know that he will be fed, housed, clothed, and given medical care at taxpayer expense the rest of his life, even though he murdered four people.

• $14 billion auto bailout bill clears the House

  Wed Dec 10, 2008
  • Well, it must be nice that the President can go and usurp Congress, and do what he wants anyway.  What happened to checks and balances between the three branches of government?  Oh yes, I forgot, they are above the law, and do not need to be bothered with such …

• Obama to name board of economic advisers

  Wed Nov 26, 2008
  • Whether Obama's cabinet choices help or hurt this country where our financially bankrupt nation is concerned remains to be seen.  And where banks and this fiscal crisis is concerned, I read a quote from Thomas Jefferson recently that summed things up nicely:  "The central bank is …
