Would you rather she sell it to a child? How do you suggest we get these criminals off the street and to stop illegal drug trafficking? Some of your comments are so far off the map, I often wonder if you are one of her customers.
No cost-of-living increase in 2010 for Social Security, no COLA for federal retirees, and Medicare plans will increase, health care premiums will increase, (mine is going up $30.00 per month), gas has gone up 20¢ in the last two weeks and continues to rise, credit card companies want to start charging annual fees again, Duke Power is going up, and the county wants me to vote yes on more tax to allow the thieves who steal to live more comfortably than some of the people they stole from! Check out the prices at the local grocery stores, they have also increased. I am concerned there will be a lot of cold hungry senior citizens this winter.
I agree. David Pearson first, with Cale Yarborough as runner up. There were 51 votes cast. I think the selection process was fair, and I would have voted for four out of the five who made the cut. From the list of nominees I saw there were some though choices to make.
Surly someone must have seen something. But, I guess they are just staying mum on the whole affair!
And those on Social Security will not see an increase.
The handicap parking is a sore spot with me for WalMart and Food Lion. Too many times I have found not one but several shopping carts left in the space. Not the part beside or in front of the space, but in the space. Because I was transporting someone in a wheelchair, I had to stop, get out of the car move three shopping carts, get back in the car and drive in the space. This has happen on several occasions at WalMart and Food Lion stores. I think anyone who leaves a shopping cart in a handicap space should face the same penalty as someone parking illegally in the space. As for the new inside, I like what I have seen so far.
The best solution is to catch the ones who created the graffiti and cut off their hands. It would be difficult to deface other people’s property with no hands. And if they learn to draw with their feet, cut off the feet. Of course you realize this is an exaggeration and speaking metaphorically. Catch the ones vandalizing the property and punish them severely. Make them pay for the cleaning. If they are juveniles, hold the parents financially accountable. It is ludicrous to penalize the property owner for the criminal actions of others. There are some excellent suggestions here (on the thread) of how the situation could be handled. The town board's suggestion of making the property owner pay for clean up, is not one of them.
Maybe there should be a law anyone who owns an animal who has to be euthanized because the animal was not current on its rabies shots, would be prohibited from owning any future pets or face heavy fines if caught with pets on their property. Not keeping your pets up to date on vaccinations can endanger the animal, the owners, as well as anyone who comes on the property.
Expressing outrage over an animal being shot does not diminish the significance of a story about two officers being shot. If the story of the horses had occurred in Winston Salem, it is doubtful we would have this much attention given to the shooting in the Salisbury Post. Just as if the two officers had been in Rowan County, the attention would certainly out weigh what we have seen about the horses. There can be outrage over both events without drawing a parallel between the two.
So perfectly said, I had to log in just to give you a thumbs up! Your comment could almost serve as a stand along editorial. Well said.
