SPEAKOUT

I'D LIKE TO ask for anyone's advice on this who may have had a similar problem and has found something to do about it. I have a new neighbor who just moved into the neighborhood who plays his stereo so loud that we can hear it with our windows closed and with their windows closed. It's so loud I can understand the words to the songs. It does interfere with us. I have asked him to turn it down, which he has done at the time, but the next day he plays it just as loud again. I really don't want to call the police. I don't know that there is really anything they could do anyway, but I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions. Thanks.

I WATCHED MOST OF the World Series but never saw the address to order the World Series booklet. Could anyone give me the address? Thank you.

WE READ IN today's paper in Speak Out, Sun., Nov. 3, House Speaker Thomas Foley intends to fight the amendment in his state to limit senators' and congressmen's terms. I have nothing against Thomas Foley, personally, but I'd just like to make a suggestion on what I heard on the radio the other day. I was listening to Paul Harvey on the radio and he was telling about a law about polluting waters. He was speaking primarily of the state of Alaska. In order for Alaska to be within the federal law, they have to pollute their water and then resort to filtering this pollution out of the water in order to be within the law of the federal government. I do not remember everything he said or just exactly how it was, but it was along the lines that our federal government has passed a law about water pollution, and Alaska's water is not polluted and they have to add pollution to it in order to be within the federal law. Is this the kind of people we want making our laws in Washington D.C.? I think not. I think it is time to have limited terms, to show these people that the taxpayers have had enough of their shenanigans, bouncing checks, fixing parking tickets, not paying their meal bills, giving themselves huge increases in salary when we're in a recession. I'm ready to limit the terms and get some new people in there. We don't need millionaires in there either. Thank you very much.

I WORK FOR an in-home care agency and it seems that every time I go to cash my check I cannot cash it. I live in Chaffee and no one in the Chaffee area or Scott City area will cash a check unless you have an account with them. I don't believe this is fair. What are our banks for?

HERE IT IS the first of November and it's already cold. I sure wish I could find someone who would give me a home, someone to show me some love, and I could feel like a human being. No one ever calls or knows I exist, and I'm living out in no-man's land where nobody cares. I line the walls with newspapers, dress inside for outside, and still have cold feet all the time because the floors are cold. I'm a senior citizen and ready to die rather than to be lonely, unwanted, and freezing to death. Thank you.

SOME VANDAL WALKED on my freshly-poured, expensive sidewalk. The cleats on the bottom of your shoes show clearly. You must be getting very poor home training to do such a thing. I hope the same thing happens to you someday. Then maybe you will realize what you have done in trying to destroy my property.

WELL, DAN RATHER, you finally showed your ignorance again. The shooting in Killeen, Texas, may have been carried out with a semi-automatic weapon but semi-automatics are no different than anything else. Just because they look like a weapon the military uses doesn't make them a weapon with military capabilities. The trigger on those weapons has to be pulled each time for a bullet to be fired. It's not like weapons in the military, where you can just pull the trigger back and it will fire off three-round bursts or keep going until you let off the trigger. I would really like to thank Dan Rather and CBS for leaving the public misinformed once again on this issue, as you have done so many others.
