Buffy's story is a bit of a tear-jerker. Having been family to the same man since early puppy-hood, this little guy has now had his life completely turned upside down. Buffy is 16 now - years away from his youth, but he still has little boy charm in his smile. Unfortunate circumstances led the man who cared for him to homelessness and that meant Buffy was homeless as well. They say that home is where ...

Private property saved Jamestown

By David Boaz Cato Institute Four hundred years ago this month, 105 men and boys disembarked from three ships and established the first permanent English settlement in North America. They built a fort along what they called the James River, in honor of their king. The land was lush and fertile, yet within three years most of the colonists died during what came to be known as "the starving time." Only the establishment of private ...

So many questions but so few answers

DO YOU EVER WONDER? Why are automobiles geared to go 120 mph when speed limits nationwide are 70? Why is it OK for a business to have barbed wire around the top of their fences, but it's against the law for homeowners? Why did automanufacturers do away with the dimmer switch on the floorboard? What do those large question marks on our historic site signs mean? When will Frank Cochran Drive be completed? Why have ...

Carter out of line with Bush remark

Former President Jimmy Carter recently said the Bush administration was "the worst in history" in international relations. Well, I will give President Carter some credence in knowing about a presidential administration being the worst. We can honestly say his administration was clearly the worst one during the past 100 years.

By Benita M. Dodd Vice president, Georgia Public Policy Foundation There's an extraordinary disconnect among Americans between our wants and our needs; in understanding how the choices we make impact the outcomes we bemoan. The latest example is the perennial astonishment over rising fuel prices, which bleed into every aspect of the economy. As Transportation Secretary Mary Peters warned in her visit to Atlanta this week, gas prices will continue to go up, up and ...

Courier blogs May 20

Blogger: Allan McQuown Subject: Schools becoming the new battleground for violence On May 4, I dropped my daughter off at Liberty High and I was pleased to see several armed law officers in the parking lot and walking the campus. I was glad to see them and, of course, this is a response to recent incidents including one student bringing a weapon to school and several threats of violence. However, I had to wonder ...
