What are we allowing ourselves to become?
By Sharon Hopper
It seems like every day we hear more and more about the cruelty of
people on the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and all public media. It
seems to me in this day of fast communication and instant messaging
that we need to learn to be far more compassionate and credible in
everything we say and do. The cruelty in school is bad enough, but to
put it in writing on public media for everyone to see is absolutely
unforgivable. It is true that the Constitution gives us the right
of free speech. Free speech is wonderful, but cruel speech is hateful,
hurtful, and totally unnecessary. We hear often about all of... Read

TIGER DEFENSE COULDN'T STOP THEM

Ansonia bounced out early
By George Starks
PIQUA- To say it’s been less than a successful season for Ansonia is
quite the understatement. With injuries plaguing the Tigers, it was a
basketball season that Darrick Barga would just like to put behind him.
The Tigers season came to an end Friday night as Ansonia fell victim to
Lehman Catholic, 70-27, in sectional action at Piqua. Leading the
Tigers 11-7 after one, the Cavaliers took off in the second... Read

Networks Hype Rising Gas Prices 4 Times More for Bush, Than Obama
By Julia A. Seymour
Rising gas prices used to be big news, but not so these days. Although
the national average climbed to $3.56 on Feb. 20, setting a February
record after going up nearly a month straight, there was far less
coverage than in 2008. Broadcast networks repeatedly covered... Read

Barack ‘All of the Above’ Obama
by Larry Kudlow
President Obama fought back against rising oil and retail gas prices in
a speech in Florida on Thursday. But it was a curious speech. He
started out by mocking Republicans, stating that GOP candidates are
licking their chops as gasoline prices rocket up. He said, “They are
already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas. I’ll save you
the suspense... Read

THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26,
2012 |
There
are many things that bother us oldsters, just as things have bothered
the oldsters of previous generations. For instance, I’ve been upset
about government taking away the American ideal of individual
achievement. Senior Scribe Sharon Hopper laments how social networking
has brought out the worst in some of us. I’ve seen it, too. Maybe it’s
time to rethink who and what we are. Also in News:
