“Actually, there are only two races: people of color and people of pallor. Why do Americans now want everybody to have so many labels?”

“Americans are tired of the out-ofdate geriatrics in all branches of our government when we need strong young leaders. We should place a “best if used by” date on every politician when they get into office. And then donate them to some useful work when they reach their deadline.”

“I’m confused, Vidalia High School. How can awards be given out when finals haven’t even been taken and regular grades have not been entered into the system yet?”

“In the article, Flagpole Dedicated to the Confederate Soldiers, on The Advance front page, the picture and article are in error. The flag that was dedicated was not the Stars and Bars but the Cross of St. Andrew, which is the battle flag of the confederacy. Just a history lesson.”

“About the new courthouse. Are they going to build a war monument like other towns around have, so we can see who fought and died in these conflicts we have had?”

“The War of Northern Aggression (aka the Civil War) has obviously never ended as statues of Southern heroes are continually being removed and Southern military bases are being renamed. Those Southern heroes fought bravely to protect their families from an invading army, the Union soldiers. If the survivors who were actually in the war on both sides thought honoring all heroes was appropriate to heal the nation, why are these wimps who never defended anybody being allowed to create anger and hatred again?”

“Can we please get a street sweeper to run down the turn lane of Hwy 280? It is just covered in dirt and trash that blows onto the cars behind you, and it also makes the city look trashy.”
