O.k. I don't know how this staff decides what is removed, but I have had two comments removed in the last week that were no worse than anyothers that are left. I have defended this paper to others for the past ten years, but no longer. You let people threaten others, and leave those comments, but I state truth and I get things removed. My subscription has just been cancelled, and I will no longer read your paper. I am just appauled by the behavoir you allow on these blogs. That just leaves a person with the feelings of confusion. I bet your sales have been declining after this whole blog episode. You really aren't fair to all. I just don't get it.

On Hit and run raises questions at police department

You can't go through life thinking "WHAT IF". You need to think "IF...THEN". I have faith in the police, I respect them, I don't fear them, therefore, I don't try to find wrong in what they do. This world would be a sorry place without them. And I don't see myself being in a situation that I need to fear a police officer covering something up that will harm me...if I thought that way, I would never leave the house. Just be thankful, you probably will NEED THEM someday.

I feel for the officers involved. Once again, there isn't enough help, because the same people that scream the PD is understaffed, get upset over taxes that are needed to pay their wages. And why is it, every time something happens that needs addressing, people come crawling out of their shelter yelling crocked cops, crocked cop?? Policemen/women are HUMAN and they have to make spontaneous decisions every day, and sometimes the decisions that need to be made may not have been the right one in hind sight, but isn't EVERYTHING 20/20 in hind sight? I just wish you ney sayers would realize that these officers risk their lives EVERYDAY for our safety, and until you go to the academy, please don't judge them.

I agree a daycare scenerio is not the best choice. Like I said before, we are fortuneate enough to have 4k in our school district. But I would think differently if it were a daycare environment. There is not enough structure in a "most" daycares, and in my opinion they are over populated for the experience the providers hold. Now, in an actual 4K, there is an actual teacher, and actual curriculum. As far as socializing, it is important for children to interact with children their own age. I can attest to this from personal experience. My five year old had a teenage sibling and his parents as the only consistant interactions for 5 years. Well, he had not learned how to share properly, because obviously none of us wanted to play with his toys, he didn't know how to perceive ineraction play, and he basically was stunted socially. So, it is very important for children to be acedemically prepared as well as socially. It is the parents job to be sure that the bad behavoir that is learned, and it will be, is corrected and apply consequences as needed. That is how we learn how to follow rules and how to become a part of society.

Well said MIKKI...tattle tattles...But should we expect anything less, that is after all what our world has become. You don't like something someone did or said, scream discrimination. ((shaking head))

njncj...no, your statistics don't sound like money is being spent appropriately, and if those numbers are indeed facts, that is sad. But, that would mean that something should change, and wouldn't that mean doing something different with the next generation would be the key? Dollars are already being spent on charter schools and such for these students that are lacking skills, hopefully in the future, their might not be a need for these schools. That would be in the ideal world, wouldn't it? But I also believe that these 4K programs are not going to illiminate poorly educated students, but there can never be too much education in my eyes. And if there was a way to better society without spending money, that would be great, but there aren't many people willing to do charity work anymore.

Well, if putting children's education first, and excepting the fact that to improve schools cost money makes me simplistic and narrowminded, I wholeheartedly accept those characteristic traits. Not all things need to be complex. Educated versus noneducated in my eyes is pretty much black and white. And Democrats care about children too!

Unfortuneately, the only way to improve something is with money. I can only see better preparing children to be a benefit to society, and hopefully in the long run will end up costing less. I don't see how educating children can EVER go wrong. They will be the root of the economy someday, and need to be prepared for the ever evolving world. If we are lagging behind "so called" third world countries, what better reason to encourage more education. I don't know this to be a fact, I am only going from what you are stating, but I for one would put that as a number one reason to encourage these classes. The world is so technical now with computers and such, that the interaction of people is slim to null, and this encourages social skills which are needed to make it in the world.

Did anyone notice these girls' pupils? Looks like most of them are pinned or speeding. Boy, what a wonderful lifestyle. Too bad. For anyone to disrespect their own bodies the way these girls do, there has got to be some really awful skeletins in their closets. Sure hope they get help before they end up in the morgue.
