Rant & Rave for Friday, July 6, 2012

-- — Don't feel bad about not living in Valdosta and getting a Valdosta water report letter. I live in Brooks County and got one. Glad to see Valdosta taxes going to good use!



Hudson Dockett, or any other place in town that isn't safe to be in, I'm not going there. I don't care who lives there. There are supposedly "nice" places around Valdosta that I wouldn't be caught after dark in. Put the places to vote in areas where people will not feel threatened. If they don't feel safe, they won't go out and vote. Not a very good strategy.



There are a lot of things about Obamacare that the government doesn't want us to know about at this time. They'll spring it on us later on when we have no other choice when it comes to health care. Just let the American people decide what kind of health insurance they need/want.



Kids these days do need better role models so that they can grow up and be productive adults. And this all starts at home with mom and dad. Notice I didn't write mom or dad. Kids need to come from a family with both a mother and a father. Single parent households just don't cut it.



Just wanted to say that John Ledwitch at Dr. Griner's walk-in clinic is one of the greatest nurse practitioners I have seen! Has sincere love for pediatrics and talks with the parents as long as needed! Thanks John!



The only thing TSPLOST will do is give politicians more money to waste. As always.



When is the southbound exit ramp and the bridge at Exit 11 going to be repaired? The road has been torn up for over a year. It is a major hazard to motorcyclists. There's a caution sign there, but that does not solve the road problem. Let's get it repaired before someone is seriously injured!



To the person in the Rant & Rave on Tuesday. You have shown your true ignorance about the health care law. Your prescriptions may be free to you, but nothing is free. Someone paid for that, like me, through taxes that are numerous now, and going up because of this law. Maybe you should consider getting a job, and paying for insurance like many Americans do instead of relying on the government.



I totally agree with the       rant about the traffic light at Gornto and St. Augustine roads. Only three or four cars can make the light after sitting there for who knows how long. Traffic gets backed up to Publix grocery store. Please do something, traffic department.

    How long is it going to take AT&T telephone and/or Mediacom cable to do something about the vines and bushes  growing over the cable lines at Mt. Zion Church  Road  and Academy Acres. The lines are  pulled down where a 6 foot person can touch them. We won’t have any cable service or phone service if something is not done about this pretty soon.

    Alright Sister's Pizza, how am I supposed to cheat on my diet if you stay closed! The other pizza places are too far from downtown for my lunch hour and are a bit too greasy.

    I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

    Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

    Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

    I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

    Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

    Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

    Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

    To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!
