Schools shouldn't run electric signs 24/7

 

Editor,

As of late, I have noticed the signs at the Davis County schools. The electric signs run 24/7. The school district, in efforts to save money, has had to furlough its employees at least one to two days a year. I think that while the signs are useful, I feel they should be turned off at possibly 8 p.m. every night and turned on at 8 a.m. in the morning. They should not be turned on at all on the weekends.

Comparing Tea Party to Nazis offends

We had an actor, Rob Reiner compare the Tea Party to Nazism on Bill Maher's Oct. 22 "Real Time." All I ask is that Mr. Reiner study the history books and talk to the death camp survivors. It would behoove him to read about the death camps with scalding showers, ovens, poisonous gases, and lab experiments. The gold fillings in teeth were worth more than the human lives. Jews were shot after digging their own graves. Lamp shades were made from human skin.

I only hope that Mr. Reiner's type of government comes into its down destruction.

We're all being profiled

When I am pulled over by the police, I must show my drivers license, my registration and my proof of insurance. I have lived in the U.S. all my life. Now, when I renew my license, I have to show a birth certificate and a current piece of mail with my name and address on it. I can understand the angst cause by all of this, but in Mexico, we must show all of the same paperwork and be able to justify why we are there, whether for vacation of work.

People we've elected brought us problems

How much more money has to be spent on bills that have been passed already? When is a final decision actually a final decision? When will the government, especially the White House, stop throwing parties at the taxpayers' cost? When will the government tighten its belt, like we have to? When will the Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, GMC and Chrysler have to pay for their own mistakes instead of the taxpayer? When will they be responsible for their own business practices and dealings? When will they have to answer for all the problems that they brought upon themselves? When are the taxpayers finally going to say enough is enough.

Socialism, communism worked only by force

According to definition, a socialist is an individual who promotes socialism either as an individual or as a party. Socialism is to be considered left-wing economic or political theory. The state or government has control of production and is associated with Marxist theory and communism and is usually distinguished by an equal distribution of good and pay according to work performed.

Socialism and communism have never worked, unless we call total control by means of force, threats of harm or death to people who don't comply with the rules.
