Speak Out 2/2/14

Live, let live

If you're going to argue a point to someone, at the end of the argument, he'll still see things his way and you'll still see things your way, so just be on your merry way.

Droning on

I noticed where Missouri farmers are considering using drones. I understand where they're coming from, but I think there are better and far safer ways for farmers to use to fight for their subsidies.

Dastardly, David

I think David Limbaugh has shattered the existing world record for the public use of the most awful, dastardly, negative, mean-spirited descriptive words possible to be published in a family-friendly newspaper to characterize a currently sitting U. S. president.

Communications

I thought it was the superintendent's job to be the communications officer and spokesperson for the school district. But Cape needed to hire a specialist.

Limbaugh column

That was an excellent Jan. 20 column by David Limbaugh. It was such a good reminder of the imperial excesses and lawlessness of the administration of Richard Nixon.

Daft Punk

Kudos to the helmeted French duo Daft Punk for winning five Grammys and putting disco back on the map.

85 people

I have no problem with the fact 85 people own nearly half of all global wealth; and neither would Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Ron and Rand Paul, and the aforementioned 85 people.

Roundabout

I get so tired of people complaining about the new roundabouts. Roundabouts keep traffic flowing smoothly. If you can't negotiate one of these simple junctions and need colored lights to tell you how to drive, then you have no business driving and should surrender your license.

Gun laws

At least three people are confirmed dead in a shooting at a mall in Columbia, Md., police said. How many people have to die before this Missouri Legislature understands we need to tighten up the laws of guns?

U.S. debt

Approaching $18 trillion in debt and government in every aspect of our lives. It's official. Government is too big for its breeches.
