• I was in the checkout lane today behind a heavily tattoed man, along with his wife and four kids. In his cart was a large order of crab legs, 4 cases of sugary flavored sodas, a host of calorie-heavy TV dinners and a case of Bud Light. He paid for his order with a Georgia Food Stamp card. How has the food stamp program stooped to this level? My husband’s small income supports our family. We easily would qualify for food stamps. Instead, we coupon & shop during sales. We’ve never once bought crab legs. What has happened to our society?

• When the city and county schools combine, and get rid of the double amount of administrators at high salaries, many of the problems of finances will be solved. The county schools are fine. The city system has a superiority complex, and that is hard to fight. And with only a few schools within the city, the problems are not as apparent. Quit blaming school problems on the teachers, and take their places in the school classrooms for a week or two. Then you are freer to complain.

• “Has Woolsey found the missing link to remedy our current crazy government — common sense [vs. NON-sense]? Car-sense. His metaphor of a car rings true, the wheels are wobbling.
