I don't want no big fancy buildings or monuments or streetcars or street re-naming. I just want the streetlights to work. I want the potholes fixed. I want everything to work correctly. Don't bother with the fripperies if you can't deliver the main goods!
There are people that are poor by your standards and still have a good, happy life. There are others that are rich and unhappy and stressed. Money can make life a lot easier but attitude is even more important.
Crime is down in Atlanta but rape and murder is up. So what is really down, jaywalking?
So the police think they should be able to track people continuously without a warrant, but a map phone app that has a feature to report speed traps is too much. There is something very wrong here!
I wish more people knew what a courtesy flush was.
So you drive bad on purpose to make people vent? Do us all a favor and turn in your driver's license and take the bus!
Your 401(K) is down? The Dow has more than doubled in the last three years. You need a new broker.
If Deal wants to cut health care from bus drivers, I suggest he volunteer to give his health care up as well to be a Christ-like example.
It is obvious so many venters have never traveled or experienced another country. Yes, the U.S. has a great deal to commend, but you can't make that knee-jerk reaction that your way is better, without ever having experienced anything else. Travel, like education, is gives you perspective and the skill to analyze issues and make your own decisions.
We don't resent the 1 percent, we just get tired of them rigging the game so they always win at our expense.
You can say it's not in someone's nature to kill. But, personalities change and every criminal had to start somewhere in changing their behavior.
Don't be blinded by success. I'm a proud American, too, but that doesn't mean we can't improve the standard of living of our citizens to be on par with, or exceed that other western countries.
Moving government buildings at a cost of millions is not the only way to revitalize Memorial Drive. Read the just completed GA Tech Memorial Drive study. Get Code Enforcement and the Chamber of Commerce involved. Create a CID. Get private sector participation and more.
While many in Atlanta revel in your winter misery in New England, I wish you Godspeed in your misery and hope for a quick recovery.
