The tax office needs to find a way to get all those people listed in the paper to pay their taxes. Some are listed multiple times. It is not fair to those of us who struggle to pay our taxes on time.

I see in the paper that another lab has been lost or stolen. It is the fourth one in less than a month. I wonder what is going on. It seems very strange to me.

If a person is not intelligent enough to be able to obtain a state-approved photo ID, he or she is not smart enough to vote.

In response to the question, if voting is a right, how do we take it away from those incarcerated? The operative words are “how do we take it away?” With rights come responsibilities to protect those rights. The person incarcerated forfeited his or her rights by committing a crime. The right was not taken away, it was forfeited.
