Speak Out 3/22/15

Wallet returned; Obama, gas; Christians, voting; Choke holds?; I hate it; Railroad fixes

** Wallet returned

I want to thank the wonderful person who turned in my wallet when I left it in a cart at Aldi's. As people on a very tight budget, we were devastated by what would have been a serious loss for us. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it.

** Obama, gas

This is for all you bellyachers who were bellyaching when gas prices were high and blaming Obama. Gas prices are half what they were, but I don't hear anybody giving him credit for it. You're all a bunch of hypocrites.

** Christians, voting

I'd like to know how certain people can call themselves Christians. They go to church on Sunday, and the preacher would talk about abortion or something like that. Then, on Tuesday on Election Day, they'll vote for someone who supports abortion. I don't understand how you can call yourself a Christian. As a matter of fact, I think that people who support abortions ought to be forced to watch one.

** Choke holds?

I would like to put a comment in Speak Out about the Jackson youth wrestling. They are using a choke hold on kids. And it is very hard to watch, because this is a completely illegal hold. I have a grandson there, and I went to watch it. I don't know if I can go back. I mean, I don't know how this can be stopped, but I hope parents will get behind something and stop it before some child is hurt.

** I hate it

It's just sad, the people who hate. Hate the president. Hate, hate people. Hate politicians. And many of those people don't do anything for the country or anything.

** Railroad fixes

Here it is March, and they have not done anything to fix the train tracks at Jackson. They said to wait until January. Well, January's come and gone. Where are the fixes? We need them.
