    Decrying NBC’s comments

     

    General Electric Corp. Declares Homosexuality to be a "good thang." G.E. spokesman Matt Liar on NBC’s Today Show announced how wonderful an event that Jason Collins is "gay." Jason is a player in the NBA (never heard of him). He is apparently cut in the same mold as that creep Dennis Rodman and Kobe Bryant, not to mention O.J. All of these folks are terribly overpaid social pukes, including Matt.

    County needs recycling

     

    As I ponder what project to do for Earth Day this year, I can't help but think how disappointing our county government is to abandon the curbside garbage/recycling issue.  Offering garbage pickup and recycling at a lower price makes sense and helps protect the environment.

    I am not loyalty to any vendor, and I don't have time to compare prices.  The city and county can get a better rate than just one person.  This negotiated price should include recycling.

    Postal problems

     

    Is the postal crisis real or man-made? The post office would have made over $400,000 in 2012 but for a death-stroke bill passed in December 2006 mandating that within 10 years the post office had to pony up 75 years in advance all the health-care benefits of all the postal retirees. This burden costs the post office over $5 billion a year.

    That kind of burden would kill any department, especially when it is regulated by a postal regulatory commission.

    Constables’ pay

     

    I just read about the constables’ salaries being voted by the magistrates to be eliminated (“Constables’ salaries eliminated,” March 20). I, for one, do not agree with their decision.

    I have known the constable that used to have the Bagdad-Waddy area. David Kincaid was always very helpful and courteous to everyone. That is more than I can say for a certain magistrate.

    Environment not protected

    Unfortunately, the Horizon Group Properties outlet mall has received all final approvals and will be built in Shelby County. This company has said numerous times it was going to be a good neighbor, but their first un-neighborly act will soon be performed. In a public meeting held last summer, Horizon’s Tom Rumptz told a large group of concerned citizens that the lake, wetlands and ephemeral stream to be destroyed will involve the humane treatment of the animals living there.

    The sun shines light

    I have been around for a long time, also I’m 87 years young. However, one could never prove that humans have caused global warming by studying birds. Instead of birds one should study the sun from the beginning (“Evidence of global warming,” My Word, March 6).

    Memories of 618 Main

    The fire in Shelbyville did not destroy our memories.

    Thanks for the recollection of Bob Andriot’s connection to 618 Main (“Memory of ’85, opportunity left,” March 8). His father sold it to my father, Jesse Puckett, and his brother Frank, who sold his interest back shortly after it opened in 1948.
