On the opinion page July 8, the Gazette blamed the gun lobby that the justice system never really cracks down on gun crime. Tell the truth, Gazette. The gun lobby advocates prosecution for gun crime. It was the gun lobby that pushed one gun plus one crime equals five years to life.
I was really upset and angry when I read the article about Habitat for Humanity having to send part of their donations overseas. I thought that was Americans helping Americans and now we have to send part of that away.
Remember when the front page of the sports section used to actually have sports stories rather than just legal proceedings and criminal matters involving sports figures?
I would like to thank the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department and the magistrate court through a difficult time of domestic violence myself. They have been very helpful in making me feel comfortable, but it was also up to me to stay away from the abuser. They did their part and it is up to the women to do their part by staying away.
Could someone tell me where I can get some hard apple cider in the Charleston area?
I would like to know how many more people are going to lose their lives at Cotton Hill on Route 16 if the state does not fix that road. There is a wreck there every other day. Please help us.
Attention seniors born between 1917 and 1926. It is time to let your voice be heard. Chances are good to pass HR 368 in the House of Representatives. Could mean money for you. Contact your member of Congress or the president to help make it happen.
Now that we have gambling at the racetracks, why don't we dispose of the dogs at the racetracks? They do nothing but pad the pockets of some legislators and their families.
I heard West Virginia University is going to keep Mike Garrison so he can make sure all the football team stays academically eligible to play.
I am a non-smoker but I believe the smoking ban is surely illegal when a few bureaucrats dictate what 300,000 people can or cannot do. Is this democracy? Put it on the ballot.
It appears to be that someone from the Park Commission or County Commission should be checking the regulations on the park trails, the width of them, for emergency purposes and firefighting equipment.
Why doesn't the DOH clean off the lot behind the retaining pond on Big Tyler Road in Cross Lanes? It would make the area look so much nicer.
After reading the criminal record of Clark, I find it a shame that our judicial system can let someone like this walk the streets. What does this say about us? The system needs to be overhauled. It is now just for the criminal.

We better get ready. George Bush is going to attack Iran very soon. He is already planning it.
The Charleston Police Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue and Washington Street needs cleaned up. It is a shame they let it get that dirty.
I am certainly glad that Rich Rodriguez had to pay back the $4 million. The stereotype of West Virginia is that we just give up and are put down all the time. I am glad that he had to pay it back to show that we are worthy.
It was fantastic last night going to the dog track and not having to go through a haze of smoke to play the machines. Hooray for the new ruling.
Bush is not responsible for the mess our country is in. It is the people that voted him in.
The reason the Nitro Community Center Bingo on Thursday nights allows smoking is it is a nonprofit and nonprofits don't have to follow the law of having no smoking in their establishments.
It has been said that when Henry Ford invented the car he meant it to run on hemp oil, which farmers could grow, it was extremely cheap and it wasn't pollution. The oil companies came in and wanted to control it so why not go back to hemp oil. That would be perfect.
I feel so sorry for Coach Rodriguez one time but I feel so happy for WVU 4 million times. Go Mountaineers.
Someone called in indicating that a Clinton aide committed suicide because of Clinton's lying. I don't see the connection, but even if it were true, one death doesn't come close to perhaps the 100,000 or more deaths of men, women and children in Iraq because of President Bush's lies.

I also want to know where all you non-smokers are? You sure aren't flooding my establishment.
