Stop digging
Most of the talking heads for the last few years have been saying that when Methuen reached the building saturation point, which was close at hand, they would not be able to supply the services needed and survive. Methuen now believes it, but it is a bit late. This history should be a lesson for the Merrimack Valley as well. Please listen: "When you are in a hole stop digging."
Be heard!
We have criminals running our government, stealing taxpayer money and using it to bribe for votes in Congress. They are ignoring the electorate, destroying our country by bankrupting us, taking our rights away and making us weak and vulnerable. At least half of the entries in Sound Off should be comments of horror about what is happening to our country. Everyone should get their minds off of themselves and their TV shows and be heard!
A big fraud
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the citizens of America have to buy government health insurance. The government is nothing but a big fraud. They won't be happy until they have turned every citizen upside down and shaken every last dime out of them.
Knee-jerk restrictions
I just don't understand these new knee-jerk-reaction flight restrictions that are now being imposed. No going to the bathroom during the last hour of the flight? What on God's green earth are these people thinking? Let me get this right. On a flight from Boston to Florida, a crazy terrorist can blow the plane up during the first two hours, but not during the last hour? Hopefully these idiots realize that this makes absolutely no sense. Talk about panicking.
Too much golf
With the nation deeply concerned about airport safety, I'm glad to see Obama is carefully studying his next move — on the golf course. Shortly after he made a speech about national security in the wake of an attempted airplane bombing, he went golfing near his vacation spot in Hawaii. One new source calculated Obama has played more golf in his first 12 months than Bush did in his first four years.
It's the feds' fault
The newspapers tell us that cities and towns all over are having the same problem: not enough money to do their budget, and all the taxpayers are ready to jump on City Hall and say they are spending too much. That is not the truth. The truth is that the federal government took away the money a few years ago that they always allotted to the states. The states cannot keep everything up on the money they take in. It just cannot be done. Too bad the states didn't get the money that bailed out Wall Street — we wouldn't be in this mess now. If the feds do not give that money back to the states, then the states will always have a problem. If the Big Three automakers could not survive without the federal help, how do they expect the states to do so?
Thanks, Marc
Kudos to Marc Harvey of Haverhill for a long overdue smackdown of the public school teacher, police officer, firefighter-hating Eagle-Tribune editorial board. Just remember that when an Eagle-Tribune editorial writer is sinking into his mattress, a policeman is walking the beat, a firefighter is responding to a 2 a.m. call and a teacher is preparing a lesson.
Thanks to Marines
I would like to thank all the Marines who collected toys for Toys for Tots. They made Christmas for a lot of children who other wise would have no toys. Again thank you — Semper Fidelis.
