Speak Out 4/25/13

Older drivers

I took offense at the article that read that older drivers were a problem. I see the problem with younger drivers not following the rules. Young people are always in too big a hurry and cause a lot of problems.

Right to drones

In regard to drones being used in America, this falls under the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I think every person has the right to own one for his or her protection.

NRA, gun control

For five years, the NRA, the representative of the gun manufacturers, has been saying that the government is coming to take away your guns. For five years there have been record gun sales. How does it feel to be played for suckers?

UW, mentoring

I admire the United Way's effort to tackle poverty through mentoring. In addition, I think we need to make a much more aggressive effort to aid the rapidly shrinking middle class and poor by redistributing the wealth upward.

Term limits

Missouri Republicans were responsible for getting term limits passed years ago, when they were a distinct minority in the Missouri General Assembly. Now that they're in the majority, they're trying everything they can to take back or modify term limits. Sorry, guys and gals.
