SPEAKOUT

I'D LIKE FOR somebody to tell me what kind of person would call people on the telephone and talk filthy to them. I don't know what kind of people these are. They must be cowards. If they were any kind of people at all they ought to give their name to the people if they're mad at them. Why would they want to call them and talk such filth and then hang up? What kind of people are these people? Thank you.

HOW CAN A restaurant serve a person spoiled food and say all they can do is give you more food instead of a cash refund? Also, how can they still charge you $1 to deliver that spoiled food and refuse a refund? Sincerely, Almost Poisoned.

I WATCHED PORTIONS of the cutsey "Madeline" on the Family Channel tonight. Now, even a PG-rated cartoon or movie contains hints of sex and questionable language. It's humorous how TV and movie raters make it a point to be aware of just what the viewers will accept. Through excessive exposure we become more and more lax in our acceptance of sex, violence, and offensive language. Movies that once were rated PG-13 are today rated PG. Since when does your 6-to-9-year-old use the exclamation, My God. Certainly not at home, but you hear it on your so-called Family Channel even if it is spoken in French by a good-hearted angelic 69-year-old. Little by little, inch by inch, step by step, we are all beginning to accept the odor of a pigsty. Thank you.

I WOULD LIKE to praise Mary Wulfers for being the only council member to come to the park board meeting tonight.

I SAW YESTERDAY in the paper about the guy thinking we should leave our people over in Saudi Arabia. I think that's nuts.

I THINK THAT the school lunches should be much better. Thank you.
