Getting vaccinated an act of service to others
During the Vietnam era, I don’t recall anyone saying to me, “Thank you for your service.” Lots of people say it today. I have always felt the highest form of advocacy is to fight for someone who cannot fight for themselves. To take on the bully. In the last 50 years, many people have told me they too “would have joined the Marines, but . . .”, followed by some reason they did not do anything. To all those who thought about serving but had a reason they could not, here is your big chance. The people who cannot fight for themselves now are my grandkids, who can catch COVID from you, but they can’t get a vaccine. If you want your chance to serve, and know for once in your life you stood up for someone who couldn’t fight for themselves, get a vaccine. Then tell others what you did. You will have earned, “Thank you for your service.”

Governor’s ineptness costing thousands of lives to COVID
I see our failure-to-lead governor is on his soapbox again, reporting how far the economy has come in the past 15 months of the pandemic. Wonder why he failed to mention the over 1,000 people who died on average every month because of his ineptness? Why is it that Republicans keep pounding us with their pro-life rhetoric yet ignore facts and refuse to follow the science. So what if he can’t get the pandemic under control even though it is killing thousands of Georgians. It has nothing to do with “politics,” as they claim, or the do-nothing ignorance of the do-nothing governor to keep saying “people will do the right thing” ... ain’t happened for 15 months, ain’t gonna happen any time soon. But, hey, the economy is growing; it’s the population getting reduced, because people are dying! Glad his priorities are in the right order!
