• It seems like you have to be gay to get a good job nowadays. Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon have the best jobs at CNN, and many movie stars and famous singers are gay. I guess I was unlucky to be born heterosexual.
• Does the “force-fed” new airport, with state or federal funding — that taxpayers end up paying — seem a bit much now that we are $17 trillion in debt?
• To the person who referred to people as barefooted and living on a dirt road if they oppose T-SPLOST. It’s sad to say, but this is the mentality of someone who blindly follows what they are told and is unable to think for themselves. We hicks in the county choose to have our say when we vote.
• Airbus is going to build a plant in Mobile, Ala. It would be so nice to wake up one morning and see on the front page of the GDN that new employment opportunities are coming to our area. Instead, all I read about is the endless stories of high unemployment, a new airport, SPLOST, overpaid school administrators, deplorable high school dropout rates, and golf carts in downtown.
• The My Two Cents comments are interesting. However, reading about the local armed robberies, thefts, home invasions and other crimes in Griffin makes one wonder about the importance of issues involving golf cart use, smoking bans in our parks, doggy waste, etc., when it appears that Griffin has some serious issues involving law enforcement and citizen safety.

You see, I've tried the voting route here in Griffin. I've voiced, oh have I voiced. But it seems as though if you aren't fortunate enough to be offered the KoolAide--you are just, well, sol.
So look me up. Buy my place. And I'm out of here.
I grew up in Clayton County--can you guess why I don't call that place home anymore? People around here wanting to get a "brain train"--they are just fast tracking their way to the "new" Clayton County. There are commissioners who WANT the train--the same ones who obviously put on their "Griffin is the Best" glasses and don't see the big yellow "GRIFFIN TIRE III" that's going right in across the street from the brand new Kroger. Reminds me of Stewart Avenue. Since you didn't grow up in the south--ask someone who did--they'll know what I'm talking about.
