Since we are upset with all the goose droppings messing up the city, maybe we can crack down on litterers. I have never seen a city with people who could care less at keeping it clean. There is trash everywhere, but no one wants to do anything about cleaning it up and keeping it that [...]

According to the latest study, when it comes to texting and driving, we adults are setting a bad example for the children. It always has been for us adults to tell the kids, “do as we say, not as we do.”

Stressful position? Wait until these kids join the real world where they will have to work and pay all their bills.

These guidelines are long over due. They will force the cities to show data and facts as to why they have to install the cameras. Now they say the cameras are for safety and to help reduce accidents. Now the cities will have to show data that the cameras are doing just that. Since the [...]

There will be no changes. The catholic church will remain in the dark ages.

As if the teachers don’t have enough to do now, lets give them another task to do. We should require parents to take this training instead of teachers since they spend most of the time with the kids. Will the schools and teachers be sued if a student commits suicide and they failed to recognize [...]

What we need is red light and speed cameras like they have in Japan. Their cameras recognize the driver and the driver is the one who gets the ticket, not the registered owner of the car. This would make us better drivers because getting tickets would affect our drivers license and insurance rates. We need [...]

So, you are saying you don’t even drive 2 or 3 miles over the speed limit. You also stop at every red light and come to a complete stop when making a right turn on red. Wow, you are some safe driver.

The only reason I will vote yes for CR to get a casino is hopefully it will bring more money to the city, that way the city won’t raise my taxes as much without the extra revenue. I don’t gamble, so I won’t be going to it if it is built.

For this to work, the police would have to stop and frisk everyone, including you. Why not push to have telescreens installed in everyone’s homes.

Forget about banning smoking at casinos. They have too many of our politicians in their back pockets.

Face it, the love of money is more important than people’s health.

I plan on voting yes for the casino. I probably won’t go to it. I gamble very little and I don’t smoke. The smoking issue is the main reason I don’t go to casinos. Nothing worse then to have a smelly smoky person sit down by you and have their stinky cigarette smoke drift into [...]

Since we are not going to do anything to prevent gun violence, the government needs to put a special excise tax on all gun sales. That money should be put in a special fund to be used for future victims of gun violence. This way everyone can buy as many guns of any kind they [...]

I am for it as long as the city does not allow any exceptions. No matter who is begging for money at an intersection, it should not be allowed because of the safety issues.

Iowa has a men’s basketball team?

I know what the two main issues for the Iowa GOP will be. They will be abortion and gay marriage.

You bet it is. The sad part is it will get worse.

What the headline should be is: “Should Iowa Lottery come up with more ways to take a fool’s money.”

Let’s get over it. No new laws are going to be passed and no one is going to have their guns taken away. Just accept the fact that these type of shootings are going to become common just like car accidents. As long as it doesn’t affect you or your loved ones, it is just [...]
