How well do I remember

the gas lines and the rationing during the energy crisis of the '70s.

Tales

of traffic and the PTC bubble

One

Citizen's Perspective

The three biggest

issues in Peachtree City today are traffic, proposed capital expenditures,

and the looming blight on the extreme west side of town in the form

of two unwanted big box stores.

MURPHY

Laugh Lines

A few years back

when the book "Prozac Nation" came out, I became a missionary

of sorts trying to get as many people to read it as possible.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hard

lesson learned: Remove golf cart keys

Fifty months ago,

my son died in my arms. Joe had experienced an asthma attack at the

age of 14, and neither I nor the arriving paramedics were able to save

him. It was, as you might imagine, the most tragic event that can occur

in one's life, and I realized shortly thereafter that the worst thing

I would ever have to experience was behind me.

Tax

cut is illusion; don't you realize that's your money?

There is turmoil

in the land! There is a shift of power that can be devastating to the

world! The end of an era is at hand!

Might

PTC fund 54-74 traffic improvements to give break to big boxes?

It is my sincere

hope that our city government in Peachtree City is not trying to bill

the citizens for traffic improvements that will entitle the big box

developer to build a Wal-Mart and a Home Depot.

Keep

baseball kids healthy

Recently a Fayette

baseball parent wrote a very good letter to the paper and its readers

explaining the necessity for warming up young players properly and watching

pitch counts in order to maintain healthy arms.

MHS

student defends his Confederate heritage

Upon reading Marc

D. Michael's controversial and highly misinformed letter that was printed

in the May 2 edition of The Citizen, I have taken it upon myself to

defend my Southern heritage and rectify the many mistakes that were

present in his letter.

We'll

keep commemorating our Confederate heritage

While I have written

several letters about the slavery-Confederate flag issue, one letter

written by Marc D. Michael is beyond any understanding. He has decided

to play God and banish all Confederate soldiers to hell. He said God

wiped them from the face of the earth. So, if there is an ounce of truth

in his judgment theory, then relax, they are all in hell.

Soldier

says thanks

My name is Kenneth

Gosnell. I am the son of Judy Robinson and brother of Kevin Robinson.

I know that at times the Army sends out Home Town news bulletins about

how we, "the local soldiers," are doing. I thought that I

would send one out myself because I want to say thank you.
