After 24 years with the highway department, Carl is retiring. Happy retirement, Carl!

Hoosiers now have the right to shirk.

Maybe you need to interview those of us in the rural areas, like LaPorte and Starke counties. You would find we’re behind Gov. Mitch Daniels 100 percent on right to work.

All right, Gov. Mitch Daniels, you and your boys got what you wanted, so bring on these thousands of jobs from the hundreds of companies that wouldn’t come here because we weren’t a right-to-work state. Yeah, I’m sure that’s gonna happen.

So, 28 people decided to have a right-to-work state. That outweighs what thousands of people wanted. That’s not a democracy; that’s a dictatorship.

I guess it is time for me to move out of Indiana to a state where democracy is still a moral value. The Indiana Republican House and Senate thumbed their noses at and trampled over the democratic process.

I, too, believe what some people say about pit bulls is awful. My sons have them. They are the most loyal, loving pets you could want. We need to hold the owners responsible.

I have a great idea how to stop gangs: Declare them terrorists and threats to national security. Lock them up in concentration camps, preferably in northern Alaska or Death Valley. No trials or early releases.

If you call lighting a cigarette and breathing smoke into your lungs enjoyment, then you and I have different definitions.
