Can't vote Democrat again? So you'll vote Republican, apparently ignoring the eight years of the Republican/Bush ideology that got us in this mess. Remember, history repeats itself.

.....

Be courteous: Courtesy should be its own reward. Hold that door open, acknowledged or not.

.....

Obama over Newt: I'd rather have a president with a talent for singing than the prospect of a president whose talent is cheating on his wife. I take Obama over Newt any day.

.....

The tax rate: Investments are taxed at a lower rate to encourage people to take the risk inherent with putting their money into a venture that may fail. That's where the capital comes from that allows the company to expand and provide jobs.

.....

Local air quality: I've often wondered how many sensors are in our county and where are they located.

.....

The cost of war: God bless the family of Marc Nieto and all of our military families who have unfairly borne the cost of war.

.....

Speeding driver: To the young girl speeding through White Oak Sunday morning who killed the little dog: You are a coward for not stopping.

.....

Crazy idea? Gingrich's cheating scandal may be past tense, but his talk of building a colony on the moon is future tense. It's a little bit crazy for me.

.....

"I'm So in Love With You:" That song is 40 years old, and people still fall in love when they hear it. When the president gave his impromptu version at the Apollo Theater, I'll bet he got a million new votes and millions of dollars to boot.

.....

Money evil? When will this nation rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed? Is the notion all men are "created equal" a capitalist value? Somewhere I read the "love" of money is the root of all evil. Your treasure is where your heart is.

.....

Newt: Everyone has family problems -- this is not why you shouldn't vote for him.

.....

Build roundabouts: All of the dangerous intersections have stop lights when they should have roundabouts or double diamonds. Let's get with the 21st century and lose the dangerous stop lights when we construct new intersections.

.....

Why no light? In the dangerous intersections story, you mentioned Corinth Road at Greenville Street. That intersection has no traffic light and often traffic back ups there. Why no light?
