Colorado assembly unfit for students
There has been a lot of discussion on an event at a Boulder, Colo., high school on April 10. A panel discussion was held at Boulder High School during their annual "Conference on World Affairs." It was titled "STDs, Sex, Teens and Drugs." The uproar, as it rightfully ought to be, is that during the open forum, the leaders of the panel endorsed the experimentation of illegal drugs and sexual activity, among the teens. The ...

Georgia's merry-go-round
Gov. Sonny Perdue seemed to be having such a good time with his budget veto pen last week, sticking it in the eye of the House leadership and several other groups not on especially friendly terms with His Excellency.
Liberty County's crystal ball

Blog: What if Ron Paul wins?
Just sit back and think for a minute of what will happen to this country when Ron Paul actually wins the presidency... It's scary isn't it?
Blog: The plight of Buffy
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 ...
Political correctness vs accuracy

Progress reported from Iraq
The headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Division deployed two months ago and already we've made great progress. I am so proud of our soldiers.
Could Newt be the answer?
Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson broke a cardinal rule for Georgia Republicans. They allowed Sen. Ted Kennedy to smile upon them.
Growing environmental concern noted
Since transplanting myself from the over-developed and polluted town of Cleveland, Ohio to the forested and marsh-lined county of Liberty, I have begun to change my attitude regarding the environment.
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 ...
Recycling worth the effort
Well, don't you feel lighter, Liberty County? I wish it was as easy to "reduce" personally as it is to "reduce" as a community.
France: Victim of big government
France has often, for better or worse, led the way during its history: in state-building, when Louis XIV created the modern French monarchy; in proto-totalitarian politics, with its revolution of 1789; in mass-mobilized warfare, in the wake of the revolution. Now, France is being reduced to a sad object lesson, a warning of the deadening effects of big government economics.
Congress can't get its acts together

Midway is like a maze
Have you ever tried to figure out a maze? You travel down a path and find yourself at a dead end, forcing you to backtrack to find another way out. Well, Midway is in that maze right now - it's called the city charter.
There's no changing Mama's made-up mind
Mama was stubborn. "Set in her ways," is what country folks call it and boy, was she. When she made up her mind, nothing stopped her. Especially when she set her jaw and punctuated her declaration with a firm nod of her head. If she also threw that crooked forefinger in your direction, you knew that it was set in stone. Destined to be.
Georgia court ruling is setback for state
Columbus lost a huge one in court this week, and it wasn't even close. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that a 2012 Muscogee County Superior Court decision protecting trees along Georgia rights-of-way is invalid.

Do something, big or small, for mom
Although you, my devoted readers and fans, likely are reading this on Mother's Day, it was written several days ahead of time, so I have no idea what kinds of surprises this special day will hold for me.
Fire service fight continues
Editor: I see that Liberty County is still trying to take away Midway's fire department by using fear tactics. If Liberty County wants full-time firefighters in Midway, all the county has to do is send some of Midway's property taxes back to the city so that the city can hire the full-time firefighters.
