We're doing a lousy job with sexual offenders
Posted Thursday, March 4, at 2:25 PM
Something must be done...now...about how we are dealing with those registered as sexual offenders.
The death of the outstanding young girl in the San Diego area is, unfortunately, only the latest in the long list of these people committing sexual crimes multiple times. We must deal with this continuing and growing problem with common sense, not political sense or those who claim they can straighten out these vicious predators by counseling them. How do you think America should deal this problem of sexual offenders who strike again and again and again?
Should parents pay for vandalism? Who should pay for and be reponsible for totally irresponsible acts of vandalism by juveniles? How many problems are caused by people who have children, refuse to become parents and feel the taxpayers should be responsible for raising their children?...
Who deserves a free ride through college? Do you believe college is for everyone? Should everyone, or anyone, get a free ride through college? I used the GI Bill and part-time work as a construction laborer to get through college...in three years. I'm not bragging on the three years. There simply was no money for anything other than studying...
Driver Janet Guthrie This is for NASCAR fans. How many of you remember a female driver named Janet Guthrie? I'm taking nothing away from Danica Patrick. She's driven well in Indy cars and will learn to handle stock cars. Guthrie didn't have the success of Patrick in Indy cars, but she started directly at NASCAR's top level and made some impressive runs. I believe her best finish was either a fourth or fifth at Charlotte...
A slogan change? Do we reach a point where President Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan must change to "No We Can't."
Your government How close is the United States to destroying itself by trying to bring democratic governments to people as likely to stomp and burn our flag and hate us as they are to pitching in and helping themselves? And, how much should our federal government ask us pay for their ventures and nearly bankrupting ourselves by paying for their political ambitions?...
Other dangerous intersections The intersection of Highway 231 and State Highway 82 has received a lot of attention, and rightly so considering all of the trsgic accidents there.
What other intersections in Shelbyville and Bedford County so you consider dangerous?
Would you buy a used car from Kiffin? I didn't care for Lane Kiffin. He tslked waaay too much when he first arrived and had little to say when he departed after one season. After watching him for a year, would you have bought a used car from Lane Kiffin? Did he lie to any players he was recruiting to play football at Tennessee? Would you blame them for changing their commitment?...
Bad officiating or better replays Should football fans be disgusted, accept the fact game officials can't see everything or assume the talent pool isn't great for college and pro football officials at this point in time? I'm been surprised at the number of obvious calls missed by officials this season. Has it been my imagination or has it grown even worse during the college bowl games and the early games of the NFL playoffs?...
Stop signs obscured by other signs I deliberately delayed this blog out of respect to the families and friends of the two young ladies, one of whom lost her life and the other critically injured, in the recent tragic traffic accident at the intersection of Highway 231 North and State Highway 82 East...
