Biscuitboy---my thoughts axactly! Whine, whine, whine--everyone wants solutions but they don't want the real answers. Give the truckers a reason to bypass Emporia na dthere goes many $$$ in revenue. Where will Emporia go if all they ever do is keep passing around the same money over and over. The more poeple passing through=more outside money coming in. Some of these dead-heads on here just seem to want to turn Emporia into an elite club that only select people can live, work and shop thee. Those same dead-heads whine because of lack of growth. I disagree with Steve Corbin----they would biatch if you handed them a million dollars because it wasn't 2 million.

In Kansas, Life means minimum of 15 years. I lived out by where Sandra was killed when that "accident" happened. I said to myself immediately that something was fishy. People marry other people for all kinds of reasons other than Love; inside and out of prison. I agree; how bad would someones marriage be to have to go to Bird for conseling? Just more things that make you go HUH????

Emporia use to have permits that you bought and they would give you a locking bag to put over the meter while you parked at that spot. Parking meters are a thing of the past; unless, you are in California or other major downtowns. Emporia downtown doesn't quite meet the definition of major downtown. The only people to park on Commercial any lengthy time are the people that work downtown. Those people should be willing to park elsewhere to allow the parking spots for customers. Most customers will only be parked in 1 spot 30 minutes. New parking meters (parking meters at all, for that matter) is cutting your noses off to spite your face.

How absurd!!!! Possible filing of charges for starting a rumor? I guess the more bogus charges they can hang on people, the more the castle of a court house gets used and the more money they rake in on plea bargains.

Both these men will have on their record for all to see that ever do a background check on them, the fact they were charged with these crimes. Innocent until proven guilty? I think not. I believe once you have been acquitted or charges dropped, it should be erased from your record. More and more places run background on people due to Patriot Act and anyone ever charged with any crimes will show, raising red flags to any potential employers.

Where did Ms. Nance learn english? Whatever happened to news reports that were accurate, gramatically correct and spell-checked? Ms. Barbara Walker would be aghast! I bet they don't use the Gazette as newspapers in the classroom; unless, it's to show poor grammar and mis-spelling.

Parent's can talk all they want; however, many parents are setting the poor example through adultery and non-monogomous relationships. Not to mention all they learn from sitting in front of the television all day and night and seeing sex so casually depicted and shown as the ultimate connection between people attracted to each other. How many of these kids were conceived out of wedlock? It is far to accepted nowadays. Preach all you want; furthermore, teach by example.

I can't wait to get a great deal on a good repo in about 6 months. I am currently in the market for a new car for my wife and I REFUSE to look at GM's or Chrysler's. IF, I buy an American made,; it will have to be FORD as they didn't need or ask for a hand-out from the federal government. When will people ever figure out that the government's answer to a problem only benefits a few and cost the masses? The trickle down bad effects from this will be far more costly than the program itself. Go Noboma!!! He is only attempting to secure a re-election win now. We better all learn Chinese as they will call in their debts we owe them in the near future.

Once the government forces everyone to quit smoking and lose all their excess fat; people will be lying in old-folks homes dying of nothing. That is the biggest reason for the health care "crisis". So many people living to be 100 and more. Have you ever seen all the drugs it takes for these people to make it day to day? Investment tip of the day---Build nursing homes! That will be the boon business of the future.

YY$U--How do you suppose the prducts you buy from Country Mart, Bluestem, Sutherlands and the Smoke shop get from point A to Point B? Talk about generalizing. I have known many truckers and few have been like the ones you described. Truckers have a hard life as it takes many miles a week to make a livable income. Short haul drivers that are home every night and most every weekend make hardly enough to keep the wolf away from their door.
