Probation given in vehicular homicide case
There is more to this sentence than that published. The restrictions all sound like plea deal to keep charges at a minimum and no prison time.

Group wants atheist books placed with Bibles in Georgia state parks
Why do we let a few malcontents cause so much trouble. One, ONE!, person complained about the bible in state cabins and an uproar was created. If this sh47 bag does not believe he should not read or be concerned that I read the bible. I do not believe in atheists, I find their literature comical and at time upsetting, but I do not buy and I do not read it. WE as the Christian masses need to stand up to these POS and file OUR complaints with ACLU and other groups and make them defend our rights as well. Until we do this we will get attacked because it is the BS that gets the news. Stand-up for God, Stand-up for Public Prayer, Stand-up for what you believe and make our legislatures realize we are a LOUD, PROUD MAJORITY tired of the BS brought upon by a few, whose sole aim is to just create trouble.

This is issue is not going to go away anytime soon and the more we pay attention to it the more the saggers will continue to do this. Ignore this and it may go away, I seriously doubt it, since it seems to be a cultural thing within the African American community. However, if we were to reflect back, the shift in paradigms is dynamic and we will see other fashion trends develop and fade. I can remember the hippy era, then came Leisure suits, then came the big hair and disco then came the country/cowboy period etc. These all fade with time.
By continually bringing this matter to attention people are only letting the saggers live with them full time and the saggers really do not care and pay no attention.

No blame intended, WE baby boomers have done a lot to let future generations in the mire. I was born In a house that had 1100sq/ft in the 50's. I since had to have the great big house, 3 cars, all the amenities, great career an expanded portfolio and a retirement fund. Kids today cannot even think about buying houses with the economy and the housing market is still tanked. I know a house outside the state of Georgia that was 1400sg/ft, less than 1/5 of acre in yard space and 35 years old that sold for 2.5 million. No way in hell it costs 2.5 million to build a tiny house, but we allowed property values to sky rocket and since our generation are now the key players in charge we let this type of inflation go.

These are some of the archaic comments that have been in the box over the last several months: 1. People do not dress up to go shopping. 2. People do not wear coat and tie or dresses to church anymore 3. Young people do not stand up when an old person enters a room. 4. People do not wear dress clothes when they go out to eat. 5. Caps and hats should not be worn indoor. 6. You insult God when you do not dress up for church.
and the list goes on.
While these may have held up during the archaic periods of the 30's through mid-60's. Things have changed and will continue to change. Dress codes have gone more casual in business so people can be more productive. You can even bring your animal to work and dress down. Strict codes of dress and conduct are elderly peoples way of still trying to control events. The younger generation is more relaxed and in effect more productive. Think about something as simple as the internet or your cell phone. These were not even heard about until the last 15 - 20 years and all created by GEEKS in jeans and sandals.
Let the world go where it will. Caps, hats, suits and ties, Hats and Gloves on women, and kids is bowties and shorts are over. Live the life that we are in, After all if we look at logically, those over 65 have really screwed things up for this generation and they may never recover from it. Now here comes the we did what from the over 65 y/o's.......

AGIRL, My bad on the universities. There are to many bad universities, that only want money. It is becoming abundantly clear that unless you have AT LEAST a MASTERS degree in todays market, even entry level jobs will not be available. Unfortunatley, now I will hear from the DSC crowd on how DSC gives a premier education and everyone should attend DSC. The outside world is clear, the higher the education the better the prospects. I also drive a pickup, and wear hats and caps when I am working and if I stop for a burger or Home depot I do not even think about removing them

I cannot believe that cap, hats and trucks are even an issue in todays world. DoCo leads the state in everything wrong, children are under educated, there are no job prospects in this area for the new HS graduates, and I have not seen any new industry move into this area in decades. Every major corporation leaves. BUT, someone wearing a cap or hat indoors incites concern.
Who cares if someone wears a cap/hat indoors at a fastfood restaurant. What does it matter if I wear mine in Wal-mart? Simple minded people find simple minded problems to be concerned with and that is all caps and hats are.
Sometimes I feel these people need to grow up or grow a pair and focus on what really matters in this day and age. Educate your children above the HS level, Send them to Universities and earn MASTERS degrees, focus on bringing in industry to keep this area alive, focus on medical care and costs, focus on the criminal elements that permeate the city and county governments. Focusing on Caps and hats is a person with their head in the sand and not facing the real issues.

MCLB-Albany cancels July 4 fireworks show
Wow! All this because of cancelled fireworks! Budget woes for the military extend well beyond cutting community events. Combat training is being minimized or even stopped. Ships are not going to sea. Beans, bullets and Band-Aids are being cut. Massive amounts of personnel will be released from active duty and our enemies are taking on attack postures. Stopping a fireworks show is nothing in the overall scheme of things.
Where is you uproar over Benghazi, the IRS, or Obama denying . Col. Davis is doing the best he can, but with his budget cut, 4 criminalinvestigations and assets being returned from Afghanistan fireworks just don't mean a thing.

Never grow, under educated, keep everything the same as the 1960s, stereotypes of the south mentality. Albany is dying a slow death because of this attitude.

Lee considering changes in fire/EMS services
NO one has ever claimed that the Lee county commission is intelligent! 2 surveys say combine and yet they wish to spend 49k of my tax money for yet a third. Is this a we need 3 estimates type of thing. Combining Fire and EMS only make sense for the people of Lee County. The days of specialization are over and have been for a while.
I will bet the duty roster will have people assigned to the ambulance for the shift and then others assigned to the truck companys and rescue and everyone not just performing willy nilly. That way an amublance can be toned out or the truck company can be toned out or both if dispatch deems required, and yet each can help out on scene if required. Fire can perform EMS duties in a multi casualty scene and EMS can help at a fire scene if it escalates. Sounds like a good decision to merge.
