I SEE THE CHURCH secretaries went to California for a conference. Did the church have to pay for the secretaries' plane ticket? What are churches coming to?

THIS IS A RANT to the piece of trash who stole my daughter's camera at the Evans Middle School dance Friday night. I hope you are glad that you ruined my daughter's dance. People like you make me sick. I hope you end up in jail before high school.

A BIG RANT TO ALL the scumbags out there. You can cheat, lie and steal from good people only so long and it will eventually catch up with you. What you do to others will come back to you when you least expect it. It's obvious you don't know the meaning of pride since you have no conscience. You all think society owes you something.

NOW WE HEAR ON THE news where all of these illegal Mexicans who were picked up in the factories and large working businesses and put in jail last week are released. They're released right in the same area and told to come back to court. Now, does anybody believe these people are going to come back? No. They're just going to blend right into our areas and continue to do what they're doing. What kinds of brains do those people in Washington have, anyway?

FOR THOSE DRIVERS who are making either left or right turns on a street that has the two yellow lanes running down the middle: In between the two yellow lanes, they call that the turning lane. That's the purpose of it. Your lane might not necessarily be free for you to turn into. So you turn into that middle lane. That keeps traffic flowing. If you don't know that, you need to turn your license in.

TO THE PERSON WHO had something to say about the word gangstas and gangsters. This is not a write-in column. This is a call-in column. So I would think it was the person who put it in the paper, not the person who called.
