I DON'T LIKE THE WAY Rants & Raves is in the front section. I liked it better in the metro section.

THE REALLY depressing thing about the bogus 911 calls is the almost unintelligible speech of the youth who call. Even the 911 operators have trouble understanding.

TO THE PERSON who wrote in and said don't tell us how black voters vote: Don't insult black Americans.

A RAVE FOR THE NEW format of The Augusta Chronicle. It's great, and easy to read and find information. There is even a table of contents! You have to be a total idiot not to be able to find information now!

A RANT ABOUT CALLS coming from both the Democrats and Republicans.

I DO NOT LIKE The Augusta Chronicle's new look.

HEY, HOUSING AUTHORITY, exactly what are y'all trying to prove? Wake up!

ANOTHER RAVE for Augusta Circuit Juvenile Court Judge Bill Sams for his efforts to provide substantive improvements to the lives of the young people who appear before him.

I HAVE A BIG RANT for the person driving a RED S-10 PICKUP that hit my husband on his motorcycle the morning of January 14th, around 2:45 am on Bobby Jones Expressway in front of Wal-Mart and left him in the middle of the road INJURED. I can't believe you didn't even stop to see if he was OK. What kind of people do that (not honest ones)!! I also have a RAVE for the man driving the sweeper that SAVED his life. My family and I cannot thank you enough!!

IF THE USA WERE to back away from Christianity as its founding ideology, the world might perceive us as we really are: multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious. That's SEPARATION of church and state! Vote Democratic, for a true democracy!

A RAVE TO THE LADY who took my dog to Highland Animal Hospital. I can never thank you enough.

TO HEAR MCCAIN tell it, he fought the Vietnam war all by himself. I've got some news for you, McCain, you lost that war. Now you are beating another dead horse.

I THINK ACTORS/ ACTRESSES should have to take a drug test before they are allowed a part in a movie/TV show, just as the rest of the country has to take one before they get a job.

EVERY BUSINESS OWNER should realize that every person they come in contact with is a potential customer. I called a business yesterday and spoke to the owner. This man was so rude to me that I will never ever deal with that business.
