To the editor:
I want to say a hearty amen and congratulations to the young guest columnist (May 25, 2011) who seems so wise beyond years.
The article “Examining stupidity, ignorance” seems to me the product of a caring, thinking and intelligent mind that values wisdom. I believe wisdom originally and inevitability comes from God only.
Keep seeking, child, and pray that we all will for our nation’s sake as well as for our own.

To the editor:
The recent upheaval concerning the city council’s cemetery policy reminded me of my deceased mother’s precious advice, “Bring my roses while I’m alive.”
I have tried to take her advice and give my “roses” to friends and family while they are living. I get to see them enjoy them and it prevents less problems at the gravesite.
I understand, as a nurse, the importance of grieving at the place of interment, but the joy of giving sure makes good time memories.

To the editor:
I just hate politics.
Any system where leadership is dictated by a popularity contest instead of education or experience is critically flawed.
Let’s take a look at our newly elected County Judge John Wayne Conway. Since January, he has proposed increasing the county’s budget $500,000. That’s considerable in the worst economy most of us have ever seen. Unemployment is rampant, so what does our illustrious leader do but follow suit with the Democratic, Obama-style governing and spend, spend, spend.

To the editor:
In recent weeks I was given my final assignment for my English 101 class at Bluegrass Community and Technical College here in town.
We were told to choose a political issue that affected our county in which we felt strongly about. I chose that we, as a county, lack full-time female patrol officers and want to point out that the city police department did all but refuse me information.
I was very disappointed in the way I was treated and felt as though I was ignored and denied information that as a citizen of this town I have a right to know.
