Lee Stout had good questions. It made me study because what he said appeared correct. First looks are not always…
In a culture of business greed and political expediency, it is a breath of fresh air (more like a paroxysm)…
Brian Beckley again displays his rather egregious ignorance of economics in his last column (Courier-Herald, Aug. 10), but feels fully capable of dictating to us the cure for our current sinking ship of state. His purpose was apparently to attempt to guilt us into higher taxes on those that still have jobs and are still working. Keep in mind that near 50 percent of the population of the U.S. don’t pay income taxes but most do get checks from government. How bout having them put some skin in the game? Brian uses examples of government employees that will not be drawing a nongovernment taxpayer-funded check. Brian’s logic breaks down because he refuses to acknowledge that in order for a government worker to get a check nearly double the pay amount has to be taken from nongovernment workers. Government has no money of its own, creates nothing and can only spend what it takes in by threat of force. Government employees, paid by taxpayers, spend the money they earn but it’s a wash; they don’t create anything, just spend expropriated funds.

National Night Out. What a wonderful evening for Aug. 2. Neighbors meeting neighbors, some for the first time. There were ice cream socials, barbecues, potlucks and even block parties. Each gathering was unique, but they all strengthened the vitality of their neighborhood.

From time to time throughout the course of the 20th century, there was a tendency for the mass media – movies, radio, newspapers, TV, etc. – to label and describe the youth of a particular generation. Thus, we had the “Lost Generation,” the “Beat Generation,” the “Now Generation” and perhaps others.
Well, two nights of raucous noise and two more to go. Today (Friday) I attempted to make contact with the…
