Gov. Kemp should veto SB 260
Gov. Brian Kemp, please veto SB 260. This new law is dreadful for rural Georgia. It removes useful control of adequate setback requirements from local governments when dealing with the ground application of so-called bio sludge. This is distressing for most everyone, except the producers of this toxic substance masquerading as fertilizer. The potential long-term hazardous effects of putting this filth into the earth and on the ground surface are not yet known. What is currently recognized is, this pollutant is foul and the stench degrades the quality of life for those living near where it is applied.
Gov. Kemp, you need to take immediate action, looking out for the protection of the majority of us by not allowing the greed of the few to put us all at risk. This new law is not in the best interest of most Georgia citizens. Please do your part by keeping us and our future safe. Veto SB 260.

Road rage a product of a self-centered attitudes
Our society continues to have incidents of road rage, some of which bring fatalities.
People not taught to adequately respect rights of others are self-centered, “me-first,” “I’m more important than you,” in their general behaviors toward fellow humans. When driving, they may cut too closely in front of others and possibly cause wrecks; rush up the side of a line and cut in front of others; run through traffic signals where they should have stopped; and generally cause hazards to other vehicles around them.
However, “flipping them off” by waving the middle finger at them only tends to trigger their self-importance even more sometimes bringing a very harmful physical response - such as shooting a gun at you, or forcing your car into a wreck. Letting some offender “get away with it” is better than getting yourself injured - or worse.
