Rant & Rave for Monday, Dec. 3, 2012

-- — To the little red car with a Florida license, who cut me off on Bemiss the other night: I hope you were rushing to an emergency because you could have easily caused me to wreck with my young child in the car. And guess what? We still got to the next red light at the same time. No excuse for crazy driving. Do want you want on your own time but don’t endanger me and my child.



Isn’t it interesting that those who were so opposed to government help for the needy, are the first in line for storm aid? When the shoe is on the other foot; things look different.



The NOAA and the Weather Channel are not the same. Please! Contact your representatives and encourage them to give Obama and the Dems everything they want. The sooner the better. The best thing the Republicans could do right now is to give Obama everything that he wants. Obama’s course will end up with the United States going bankrupt, because there isn’t enough money on the planet, much less the U.S., to pay for all the goodies the Democrats want to bestow on their favored constituents.



To the ranter that said “his 60,000 a year business he owns has been on the upswing since Obama been in office”: All I can say is your business is either in gun sales or “prepper supplies.” Ha, what a joke!



I would appreciate the traffic division to come check out the intersection of Highway 133 and the new James Road in the mornings! Traffic is horrendous at that intersection and it is virtually impossible to make a left turn to go towards the prison/Val Tech, much less getting into the traffic making a right from James Road!



Want to see some hard-working employees? Ride through Ray City and watch the men working on the new sidewalks. I have never passed when they were not hard at work.



If the people who are worrying about all the fat people and their Lexuses taking food from the food bank, maybe if they stopped and asked the people, these people were delivering the meals to the poor and the hungry. Next time take some initiative and ask instead of judging.



I appreciate all that teachers do. But I agree with the ranter. Sure would help if VHS teachers would post grades on the Parent Portal on a more timely basis.



I believe all of us customers are tired of standing at an empty cash register in major stores. I know with the season here it’s time to put more people in needed places. How about you, Walmart?

    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!

    I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

    I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

    Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
