The Atlanta Mayor and the Falcons organization say if the tax payers will fund part of a plush new stadium Atlanta will get future Super Bowls, BCS bowl games and basketball Final Four games. The Louisiana Superdome is 41 years old and the lights don't always work and they get all the above venues.

Score: 687

We don't want the stadium. We want education and health care as all other civilized nations already have.

Score: 493

When I was growing up, the smart kids went to high school and the other kids went to trade school. The main problem with public education is that all the students go to high school. The administration cannot accept the fact that a lot of kids are not smart.

Give me disco any day over today's music. At least disco had soul. It was made by real live musicians playing real musical instruments with feeling, unlike today's music which is generated by rigid souless computer programs. And I was one disco's biggest critics in the 70s!

You need to do what I do when the AARP sends me a membership ad. I stuff every piece of junk mail I received that day and the next few days into their "postage paid" envelope and tape it shut with duct tape. It costs them a whole lot more to get their envelope back than they bargained for.

Score: 229

Nuclear proliferation was fine when we built bigger bombs to match Russia's. How come the politicians don't want citizens to be able to buy guys to match what the criminals use?

To the venter who came up with the Atlanta TV 10 most irritating words/phrases: You have WAY too much free time on your hands.

Score: 81

The GPA to qualify for the HOPE was lowered for those entering technical college, NOT for those entering the universities. GA & the U.S. would raise the educational level of the citizenry if we offered education past high school without the massive cost to students or free as in Europe.

Score: -28

A venter says "... women are intellectual, moral, ethical and political equals to men ..." and (thus far) gets 178 thumbs down. Really, how bad do you have to be to give that a thumbs down? Are there still cavemen among us?

Score: -56

When WOMEN become the MAJORITY in government as in real life, things will CHANGE for the better! Get out and vote in EVERY election!
