Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

 

The weather pattern from the Book of Revelations started two weeks ago. And it is going to take love and prayer and a change of atmosphere for things to calm down and be livable.

To the person who doesn’t think blacks have equality, maybe they should check out the county census, because blacks and Mexicans are taking over.

You want to complain about blacks not having equality? What about whites? Do we have a white American month or white history month? No, because it would be called racist.

Well, the teachers here are put on furlough to save money. DeKalb, Georgia, sends their teachers on the taxpayers’ money to Hollywood to a spa. This is a crying shame.

Our street sign was removed in June ’09 to pave a street that intersects ours. That work was completed in the fall so I called to complain and was told it takes a long time, that a new sign is on order. I asked why not just put the old one back up. I was told they don’t do that. Well, Liberty County that’s your tax dollars are work, or should I say wasted.

EEO counselors need to notify bosses that it is against the law for them to harass, demote or fire someone because they put in an equal opportunity complaint about race or whatever.

America, wake up, this is Black History Month.

I’d like to thank the Long County tax commissioner for the new Web site so people can now know who is paying their taxes and who’s not.

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

“I am so sick of hearing and reading about Chick-fil-A opening on Sunday. This family is a Christian family and no Chick-fil-A has ever been open on Sunday. There are many other restaurants open on Sundays.”

“Thank you, former county Commissioner John McIver and city Councilman Chris Stacy for looking out for the people of Riceboro. There are many residents there who have died of cancer recently and no one else is caring for the people.”

“I glad we got a new chief, Kirkendall. I don’t know what he’s done, but I’m going to give him a chance.”

“Why won’t the sheriff’s department do anything about the four-wheelers screaming up and down the roads in Woodland Lakes and Lake George? And the BOA in Lake George won’t do anything either.”

“My God, American people, we are patriots by nature. How in the world could we have allowed so many Russians to be connected to a campaign for president? That’s not patriotic.”

“The worst neighbor in Rye Patch lets his dog run free and poop on others’ property. He’s too cheap to buy trash bags so his trash blows onto others’ property. And he’s just an annoying jerk.”

“Thank you, Niki Seale for writing a sensible letter to the editor in the April 4. I full support your views.”

“Sadly, being white and raised in Liberty County, I never really understood the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. But today, marking the 50th anniversary of his assassination, I realize that has changed over the last year and a half. I enjoyed all the articles in the Coastal Courier. And I think his significance is ever more important than ever.”
