Madpoet,
Sounds like my house. The cats cuddle on my husband who says he hates cats. I get to feed them and clean up after them...

You need to work on your comprehension skills (and spelling, too). My concern is about the extending the power of the Patriot Act, specifically wiretapping. And yes, it is concern at this point as he's only been in office a short time. If stuff like this is going on for 4 or 8 years, now that's another story...
By the way, you needed have apologized for sniping. That is what is regularly expected from you.

I am EXTREMELY concerned about Obama's decision on the Patriotic Act. His administration had better stay away from the slippery slope the Bush administration created. Will be watching...
One of those "silent" Dems...

Sue Blechl and her staff do a wonderful job. Our city library is a wonderful resource to this community!

Thank God we live in a country where we all can state our opinions; be those helpful or be those hateful.
Merry Christmas to you all!

By the way, I apologize for the poor grammar in my last message. I should have edited myself...

At least in the room I work in, the kids are there all day. The coat stays in the room with them all day. I can't speak for the other students...
So, with your argument about the coats I'm willing to budge on that. But, the issue of shorts and flip-flops at this time of the year is ridiculous.
I will add, however, both of my pre-teen children seem to find a way to fit their coats in their locker. I know with many students, wearing a coat is not cool; wearing a hoodie is. My opinion is that winter should not be a time to worry about fashion statements, especially in the case of children. THe adults can make that bad choice for themself. .
Just this morning when dropping off my kids at their school, a boy hopped out of an SUV in shorts to go to school for the day.
Go to any of the elementary schools. You will find there a large number of kids every winter day without coats, gloves or mittens. In my opinion that is a shame and is neglectful; especially with agencies here in Emporia ready to provide free coats to those who ask. I know because my husband led one of those coat drives.
I'm not trying to grind on here. I just agree with Mr. Kelley that people do not take dressing for winter seriously. I wanted to add that I believe this is especially a concern when those people are children.

I guess I should have added more.
They have told me they cannot afford it. You are assuming about me.

Amen to your commentary, Pat!
The past two days at EHS, students have been coming to school in only hoodies for coats, shorts and even flip-flops. Winter is not a time for such nonsense.
I've been telling my students, if you cannot afford a coat, go to the Salvation Army; Capt. Burris will set you up!

I think the Gazette should require everyone on the blogs to use their real names. I believe then we would truly have civil discourse rather than the hit-and-run tactics of hiding behind a pseudonym.
And yes, I am Denise Dorcey!
On crackinsack’s bizarre tactics have forced the Gazette to implement measures to better protect user privacy. Unfortunately, crackinsack’s account has since been deactivated. Do you consider crack to be a martyr or do you say “good riddance”? Discuss…
