Wet/Dry Question: Where are we going? Writer points out that the vote is not for or against alcohol. It is about legal sales vs. illegal sales. Alcohol is already here. It's purchased illegally or in a county over and has been for decades. We simply have the alcohol but none of the benefit . . . think about where we've been, where we are at, and where we are going. We've been standing still for far too long. - BRUCE SEXTON. By Bruce Sexton Personal commentary Where are we going? I know where we are and where we've been - but where are we going? I've lived here all my life. I've watched as most of our factories left town, leaving me jobless at one time. I've watched small businesses come and go. I've watched my kids grow up and go. Where are we going? I don't see any plans for growth being offered up from anyone except PAC in favor of the legalized sale of alcohol.

Carol Perkins: Still shocked by personal attacks 'Even though one kid might call another kid a liar, a teacher will immediately say, That's not nice. Someone needs to tell politicians that's not nice. Previous column: Carol Perkins: On the faces which look back in the mirror By Carol Perkins The worst two things to call a person are "liar" and "fool." At least, that is what my parents taught me growing up. Evidently, politicians didn't get the same "raising" that I did. Does it bother anyone else to hear potential presidents call each other LIARS? Those were fighting words in my territory. When I was in school, I knew kids who lied, but it was usually to get out of trouble. They would lie about homework, lunch money, bears in the woods behind the clapboard school houses, or about what their fathers could do. "My dad is so strong he can...." However, most of these kids outgrew their fabrications. In high school, some boys lied about cheating on their girlfriends while a few girls lied about other girls and started trouble. Lying leads to big trouble. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2016-02-18 04:30:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
