To the person taking me to task for saying I had “no choice” but to file bankruptcy. Thank you for your compassion. You're right. It was because of my past choices. Food, housing or medical/prescription care all with no job or insurance? Tough choices to have to make.

Weeds and trash. Why can't this city clean up? It looks awful.

Change the exam for either new or renewal of driver's licenses by: 1) Drop the eye exam. 2) Make the applicant take a reading comprehension test — specifically what “STOP” means. Most would fail!

Donald Trump is a legend in his own mind. Instead of the lies he's telling about President Obama's birthplace, he should be telling us the truth regarding what we'll lose in Social Security, Medicare and taxes should Mitt Romney win.

Grover Norquist (president of Americans for Tax Reform) should be banned from the Hollow Halls of Congress. Oh, sorry, that's “Hallowed Halls,” isn't it?

This is for all the dog lovers in the world: If you live in the city, the dog must be on a leash and you must clean up the poop from them! Don't let the dog run loose and do its duties in others' yards, especially in your neighbors who don't own one to begin with!
