Express lanes for executions

As Bush stated two years ago about building more prisons for Missouri. He would put a fence around it first.

Now Chris Koster Attorney General says that we should make own drugs for executions.

For what? So they can build a express lane for more executions in Missouri to be number one in executions. We are pretty close to that already. We already have more prison than any other state now we are trying to be the executioners.

An eye on the postal service

After reading what the person had to say about not getting their mail. Now I just have to share this. Around June 26, 2014 I received a letter from Brenda Fox, Butler Co. Collector. When I opened it there was my personal tax statement for 2009 in the amount of $2,000. I was upset thinking I owed that much money. When I called the Collector's Office they didn't know anything about it. I didn't owe them anything. Finally I looked at the postmark: Nov. 6, 2009. It only took the post office five years to deliver my mail. How about that?

I quit going to the downtown post office when I saw the nice lady and man get revenge in a very nice way to man that complained about waiting so long. I never went back after seeing what they did. Even though the post office counter people that they got away with something because the man complained you took revenge in your sweet way. There's always someone watching you not just the other ten people standing in line that day but God watched when no one else is looking. Thank you.

Regrade Ripley County K-5

I'm just saying I don't know who graded K-5 out in Doniphan and Grandin off of K Highway, but if you sobered up he needs to come back out and grade it again. He's left boulders all over. You can't do two miles an hour down these roads to try to get anywhere. And, if he got fired, good for somebody! And, if not, like I said he needs to sober up and somebody needs to make him regrade this road. Thank you.

Y'all come, we'll work together

Have you ever noticed that when a Republican is running for any kind of office, he says let's all band together and work together and all you Democrats come and vote for me. You know all you Democrats come and vote me and I'll tell the Republican you are traitors if you vote any way but Republican. They tell you, you all come and we'll work together until they are elected and then it's strictly Republican. Kinda funny, aint' it? Thank you.

When's

recycling

center open?

This is in regards to our Recycling Center. This is the second weekend I have made a special trip down to the Recycling Center and found the trailer NOT there and I drove several miles to do this. Was there notification put in the newspaper, on radio, online that it was no longer going to be put outside? Just thought I would like to know. So I shall take my plastic, my tin cans, etc. and just dump 'em in my trash. Thank you.

Patience vs.

road rage

I encountered a yellow, I believe it was a, Pontiac -- a small car at Walmart parking lot today. Lady, we all know it's 98 degrees out. Please learn a little bit of patience and lay off the horn! I was not in anyway about to run into you. So, please forgive me and try a little patience and not the road rage you obviously felt like giving out today. Thank you.

Making sure

"all" are

complying

[web site] This is in response to the article written by Bill Cox about police road blocks being illegal.

Mr Cox you failed to mention where you attended and received your law degree. Oh you don't have one? Well then it seems your article is just an opinion then.

I would rather have police officers conduct roadblocks to check for drunk drivers or other law breaking citizens than to have an accident caused by someone who crosses the centerline and hits me head on.

It seems you mentioned a few times "I heard" of others having things happen to them. For your information the prescription bottle that contains the medication is where the medication should stay. If you take it out and put it in another container then you are breaking the law. And what do law enforcement officers do? They enforce the law when someone breaks it. Do you think it's ok for most of us to buy insurance for our cars and others to drive without it? There is nothing wrong with someone checking to make sure "all" are complying.

I bet ya the guy that crosses that centerline and hits you head on won't have insurance. Then the burden for your car repair, medical bills or what ever else you have to incur will be your burden.
