SPEAKOUT
I THINK the American people are finally coming to their senses. Channel 6 news said 80 percent of the people want to impeach Clinton. They also showed that when Clinton put his arm around Hillary, she brushed his arm off. And Jo Ann Emerson said 90 percent of her calls were for impeachment...
Coming to their senses
I THINK the American people are finally coming to their senses. Channel 6 news said 80 percent of the people want to impeach Clinton. They also showed that when Clinton put his arm around Hillary, she brushed his arm off. And Jo Ann Emerson said 90 percent of her calls were for impeachment.
He isn't respected
MR. CLINTON'S press secretary emphasized how the other countries respect the president. Are you kidding me? They respect the U.S,A., not the pervert. This man's reputation is the joke of the whole world, especially the Muslim countries. They welcome our protection money and foreign aid that Mr. Clinton doles out. That's his admiration. The decency of the nation has been diminished by the public acceptance of such perversion.
Showing only the bad
I'M A Cape Girardeau resident. I'm making a comment on the news that you printed about the president's visit to Palestine. All the papers have printed very good articles about the president's visit to Palestine, and they put good comments and good pictures on the front page. You have put it in the fourth page with the Palestinians throwing rocks instead of showing the Palestinians shaking hands with the president. That was a very, very very bad picture to show. We are trying, as Palestinians, to forget all of that. We are trying to look for work, for peace and shaking hands. And you print a picture of throwing rocks. All of the papers I read from USA Today to St. Louis to all of those papers, show the president being welcomed by the Palestinians. You go and show all of those bad pictures and bad comments. I'm sorry to hear that. You will hear from me again.
Church says no
I CALLED a local church about several needy families to see if they would help them for Christmas. The church said no. And they call themselves Christian.
Elections by news polls?
IF WE all believe in the polls -- I personally do not -- then what's the point in having an election? Why not let the news media elect our leaders by polls? We won't even have to go to the voting polls.
Let it all out
WHO ARE the editors of your paper trying to kid? You want to be called a metropolitan area, and you're trying to twist the rules to get what you want. I've lived and worked in metropolitan areas, and you're no metropolitan area. On top of everything else, you are a conglomeration of rednecks, river rats, knob knockers and ridge runners, with a few with-it people scattered in. Even your college is nothing but a glorified old teacher's college. No wonder we've had all the gunplay lately. We are not the truly civilized metropolitan area. We're just a bunch of hicks with delusions of grandeur.
Looking for an honest Democrat
GOOD MORNING. We all know that our president has committed felonies while in office on official business. Now we need some honest Democrat to come out and tell the truth and go along with finding out what actually happened.

Lack of common sense
I JUST cannot understand why the politicians want to divide the country like they have over this impeachment thing. This thing should never have gone this far. It could have been settled very easily if common sense prevailed. It's a shame that this has happened to our country.
They all lie, don't they?
I REALLY can't believe that they're going to impeach our president for lying when it's a known fact that all politicians lie.
Thoughts on handicapped parking
I JUST read about Mrs. Kurre's experience with handicapped parking. It is a prime example of why law-abiding citizens lose some respect for some laws and the application thereof. Her situation proves one of two things: If a law is written so rigidly that common sense cannot be applied with a little compassion and reasoning, it was not thoroughly thought out and poorly written. The other would be that the dictatorial attitude of some law enforcement officers shows the citizenry the power they can wield without having to use thought processes. Yes, they should have had a handicapped sign with them. I read that once the proof has been presented, the handicapped person was in the car. Apply some fairness of judgment. I know, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Ignorance without reason for a law or the enforcement or the enforcer is no excuse.
Come repair those ruts
WILL THE person who ran over my front yard on Brookwood, making deep ruts in the yard, please come and fix them?
Dangerous intersection
THIS IS in response to the person who called in about County Road 327 from Jackson to Route Z. I've driven on this road for nine years to go to my job on Nash Road, and my problem with this intersection is much more serious. I have experienced two accidents in my nine years of traveling this road trying to turn off County Road 327 to Route Z. And at this intersection you have a hill east and west that blinds the traffic in both directions coming at you. You literally take your life in your hands, and you spin gravel to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Mind you, the cars and trucks travel at a high rate of speed. I have called county officials several times about this situation to see if they could pave some of County Road 327 or grade those two hills down so you can see the traffic coming at you. What are you going to do? Wait until someone gets killed to do something about this intersection? I might add the road as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. It's like driving on a washboard. Why pave a road like County Road 222, where you can see forever, when County Road 327 is blindsided? I don't think our road commissioner thinks of safety first, only what is good for his politics. Also, why is this area never patrolled? You would think the sheriff would be aware of this County Road 327 approach onto Highway Z. Let's get this road paved or both hills graded down or something to fix this morning rush-hour problem. I'm tired of spinning gravel and washboarding my shocks. Do something.
Outrage and atrocity
WHAT A total outrage and atrocity this president is to our nation. Now he's created a war to save his political life at the expense of our American men's lives. And if he was set up in this Monica affair, think what a risk he is to sabotage. He needs to be forced out as soon as possible.
Too low to degrade
HOW CAN you degrade a man who has done what he has? I'm not going to explain the details. He can get no lower. The people who don't like those who call the president a pervert should look it up in the dictionary. It describes his conduct. He's a sex pervert. I know it hurts, but only a person with questionable character would vote for this man to be the leader of your country, economy or not. I'm not a Republican. You don't have to belong to one party or the other to have an opinion. This disgraceful bum should resign. This is not his private life. He's in the people's house, not a whorehouse. That's where he belongs.
