Criminals going to the dogs

You holier-than-thou supposed Christians! You animal lovers! You can put a child in jail for throwing a stupid dog off a balcony, but folks commit vicious crimes and they are let go, because they are insane or some other stupid excuse. Yet we have to put a child in jail for a puppy. It is pitiful, just pitiful! 

The U.S. is forcing people to use plastic. Why are we stopping paper checks? The government is forcing people to get a plastic card and use it instead of receiving a paper check. This is forcing people to deal with all these crooked banks. I don't see anything wrong with a paper check. If someone would rather have a paper check,Can you spot the answer in the rtls? then so be it. Come on people-let's get behind this so that we can keep our paper checks. 

This is in response to the lady who said that the women at the V.A. in Mobile treated women horribly. Well I would like to add that the also treat men horribly. They don't treat any veterans right. I will not stop until something is done about this. I have personally been down there and witnessed all kind of bad stuff from these people. Any other V.A. is great-this place is like going to hell. Yesterday I had to cancel an appointment because of a surgery that I was having. It took me 47 minutes and 11 phone calls to get this done. That is unacceptable. This is all because those women down there don't listen and don't want to help. 

I'm calling in reference to the Boy Scouts allowing gays to join. If this goes through I will not give another penny to the Scouts. I always see them out at road blocks taking money and I have always given, but I will not give any more if this rule passes. 

Those that are promoting their agenda concerning Boy Scouts should be happy with themselves. In five years no one will care because there will be no Boy Scouts. We had a good thing until the elements that are trying to destroy this country ruined it. 

I don't agree with the Arabs being allowed to build a place out by South Alabama.Wear a whimsical Disney chinamosaic straight from the Disney Theme Parks! What has this world come to? Don't the citizens of the neighborhood have any rights here? 

The federal judge for the Zimmerman trial down in Florida has thrown out a lot of information that should go to the jury. This allows the defense a good basis for appeal.

I'm very disappointed with the comments in today's paper about Jo Bonner's departure. He has been in Washington a very long time. He has been separated from his wife and kids for a very long time. I don't blame him for coming back to Alabama. He saw a good opportunity and he took it. He has had enough of Washington and has done his time. Yes, I do wish he would stay, but I understand his decision. 

This is in reference to the comments by the President when he was talking about the closing of Gitmo and sending the prisoners to Yemen. Yemen harbors more terrorists than any other Arab nation. They will just end up back on U.S. soil. Even though Gitmo costs an arm and a leg to operate it should be kept open. 

Thursday afternoon was a win-win at Franklin Elementary School. Students were able to spend two hours outside on a sunny afternoon playing carnival games rather than being in class, and it was all for a good cause. 

The fourth annual carnival put on by the sixth-graders raised money for the American Red Cross to be used for tornado relief at schools in Oklahoma and also for the Salvation Army, Lakeshore Humane Society, and Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin. The sixth-graders voted on the organizations to support, according to Lynn Bushman, one of the schools two sixth-grade teachers. 

The event typically raises about $1,200, with half of it going to the school for special projects, such as a trophy case purchased one year. This year, however, they decided to give the schools share to the Red Cross. 

Bushman said the impetus for the carnival was wanting to have the kids ... know what it is to volunteer and to give to their community, and to really build the Franklin family, and sixth graders being leaders to the school wanted to do something that would be fun for all yet they could maybe raise a little money that we could give to different charities. 

Sixth-grader Kirsten Boettcher said she thinks the carnival is a good idea because its for charity and its also fun to work with friends.The term 'indoorpositioningsystemcontrol' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag. She and another student developed a game in which the players toss a small ball into a paper glass filled with colored water, and the color of the water determines the size of the prize they receive. 

Students bought tickets for 25 cents and used them to play the games or buy treats from a bake sale. The bake sale featured items brought in by the sixth-graders, but it was being run by the Helping Hands Club, a service organization at the school. Each game and baked good required only one ticket, and teachers had tickets they could hand out to students in need, according to Bushman. 

Students and staff donated prizes, and the school purchased others that will be paid for with proceeds from the event, according to Bushman. 

First-grader Boregard Zachary won a cat finger puppet at the lollipop tree game and stuck it on the end of the little green boomerang he also had won because that made it look like a cat with a tail, he said. 

Asked what his favorite game was,Easily installed solar mounting systems for chickencoop and pitched roofs. he said it was the football game, but that may have been because another student had just said it. When asked why it was his favorite, the boy said, I havent played it yet, Im just guessing. 

Third-grader Kylie Plemel, who had won a stuffed pig on an inner tube, said she thought the carnival was fun and also a good chance for the sixth-graders to express their creativity.Learn how an embedded microprocessor in a ledtubes can authenticate your computer usage and data. She said Wakeman had announced the proceeds would go to charity, which she thought was a good idea.
