— Thank you Rev. Franklin Graham for speaking out about gay marriage. All the president did was shake his fist at Almighty God. Many people are doing that today, and I just pray God will have mercy on us.
— I don’t see the problem with gay marriages. In fact, all marriages should be happy.
— I think it’s foolishness that movies and TV shows are being filmed in the Griffin area. If we allow these movies to be made in Griffin, we are contributing to the deterioration of moral values in our country because all of this stuff coming out of Hollywood these days is pure sin and abomination. We need real industry back in Griffin, not these filthy movies and TV shows.
— I find it disturbing that some of these liberal, “open-minded” people are all about open discussions but when you have an opinion that’s different from theirs (especially if you are conservative and Christian), they will jump all down your throat and then slam you for being “close-minded.”
— The NBA playoffs are going on, but is there anyone who really cares?
— Who is the person who keeps putting up these golf-cart signs all over town? I have never seen a golf cart on any of our roads or sidewalks. Is this some sort of practical joke?
— President Obama says it is OK for men to marry men. Next, we will be allowing people to marry dogs and cats.
Some schools have everything they need. Some schools struggle to provide the necessities. It all depends on the principals, too. Priorities need to be considered. Some of the teachers are allowed to verbalize their needs to parents, and some are not allowed to do so. The businesses and other organizations can only help so much although they are always generous,but they usually have less money now. The teachers I have talked with always seem to need wipes,tissues, pencils, erasers, paper, and dry erase markers. They end up buying them usually. Planeman, teachers are up off their posteriors and working. Some parents who can't afford it always make certain their children have supplies. Some parents who have brand new cars and their nails done every week, tell teachers that the school must supply everything.Teachers are not allowed to say otherwise.Also, some students take great pleasure out destroying their supplies. There isn't just one or easy answer. Try to volunteer in a school and tell an administrator what you think.

A list of our Partners In Education!
"Griffin-Spalding Partners in Education serves as the bridge between the students of Spalding County and the business and civic community. Through this organization, schools are given access to the wealth of resources and services in the private sector while businesses, civic organizations and other groups have a venue to help in the community as well as build their image in the community through recognition from the schools."
There is also a list of many fantastic local businesses---as well as national businesses. Some churches are on there. I'm not sure now how the schools could be lacking with so much support that is listed on that website.
"Next, we will be allowing people to marry dogs and cats."....What a ridiculous and completely ignorant statement. Marriage is a contract between two consenting adults and the federal government. If you have a cat or dog that can give consent and sign a contract, then you have bigger problems than two consenting adults entering into a marriage contract.
