Comment on The makeover of the DNR board is completed by environmentalarticle

I agree, however people do not follow the laws and this is why we have the problem we have. I know for a fact that in Baltimore Maryland, factories release chemicals out into the air when it gets dark so they don’t get caught. It’s hard to fight pollution when there are so many people breaking the laws. Thank you.

Comment on Who gets to vote in Georgia? by norrock@gowebway.com

Hey – that Rome News-Tribune knows the real deal! Yes, in a democracy, the right to vote is not tied to income level!!!! The federal law has been on the books for almost two decades. Under Democratic Secretary of State Cathy Cox, the law was followed. Under Handel and Kemp, apparently another agenda was set in motion, i.e. barriers to the ballot box. I hear Kemp is doing mammoth purging of the voter rolls as well, month by month!

This lawsuit had nothing to do with helping poor people register to vote. There are millionaires on food stamps these days. Anita Moncrief, the ACORN whistleblower, would seem to think your naive Jim.

Comment on The Libertarian view of the 20-week rule by Vippy

This is only one of the reason why I was once a Republican and I’m now 60% Democrat, 40% Libertarian. Surely, Republicans must know that a woman will not be deterred by an abortion by a trans-vaginal probe. After all, I imagine if a woman has already determined that an actual pregnancy brings too much chaos, pain or hardship in her life to proceed, then weighing it against a vaginal probe wouldn’t even offer negative feedback to think twice, let alone reconsider. So I must conclude that the vaginal probe is simply a means to humiliate a woman they already know will have an abortion. They have a market of women they want to punish through violating them, and they are using the law to do so. To even entertain the idea that Republicans are seeking this for a determent to abortion through shame is to give them too much credit. They are just looking for shame.

The Republicans have taken a leave from Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress. We have to pass it so we know what’s in it. As a Republican. I say vote the bums out. I think they are the best there is in Georgia. Sad sad sad Georgia.

After reading your article titled anger takes over the capitol.I find it hard to believe that the Senate could pass a bill that as you put it a white male who wants to carry a weapon.Is the Senate racist and sexist or are you? I do not carry anything more than a Swiss Army knife.

Comment on Women lawmakers take a cut at vasectomies by Thomas McMahon

Rep. Neal’s “satire” is misguided. Abortion is not the female equivalent of a male vasectomy. Tubal ligation is. I don’t see any conservative lawmakers trying to prohibit women from getting tubal ligation. Unlike abortion, it doesn’t entail ending a life.

Why were we retirees never told about the Enron loss?

I find this refreshingly accurate! I am 59 years old and am very tired of men trying to limit and outlaw my decisions in so many things. I can’t believe we keep having to fight this stupid fight!!
