Opinion Line (Dec. 26)

These Shocker basketball games are way too stressful. Get us back in the Valley!

Ron Estes, companies hire employees because of demand for their product or service, not lowering their income tax. Were you not awake during the Brownback experiment?

I was sexually abused as a child and anyone who equates that with a pat on the butt is an idiot. Matt Damon is correct and Minnie Driver is not. They are not the same.

If a neighborhood isn’t crime-ridden, the presence of cameras is not going to label the neighborhood crime-ridden. Let the police get the criminals in jail and stop being offended about cameras.

It’s the time of giving. So, give me a break from rants, misinformation and conspiracies. It is supposed to be a time of love and peace. Show some.

Condemning the use of handicap-parking permits by some who appear to have no handicap is not always correct. Remember, mobility is not the only reason for this permit. Breathing difficulties make it hard to get around.

Sure am happy President Obama’s Kumbaya tune is finally out of the halls of the White House.
