To the person unable to leave Lowndes County: U.S. 84 always works for me.

Why is it that gun lovers place the lethal improvements made to firearms in the same category as improvements in publication and communications? One promotes human understanding, the other death and injury. Twisted up minds and souls.

They tell us the economy is better and growing at 4 percent rate; my question is “where?” It’s not in Valdosta; we have been in decline since 2009. The price of everything is going up, taxes included, and our incomes are going down. No relief in sight!

Yes,  I do love my ObamaCare. Finally, insurance is not one of my worries concerning my health care. I am sorry your insurance went up. Please don’t predict or be a naysayer for the ones who are happy with ObamaCare. I am sorry things did not go as you wished but there are other people to be considered other than yourself.

The ability to comment on things a person knows absolutely nothing about, has no training in, no experience or knowledge of, is the American way!
