So I am more of a risk than my wife because she has more education even though we eat from the same table? Sad to think peope read these type articles and jump on the hype.
To prevent diabetes development, the CDC suggests, creating or enhancing parks or walking tracks. Sounds like something they want the goverment to do for us. May I suggest raking your leaves or maybe not having half the parking spaces reserved for handi-cap and some people actually walking across a parking lot?
Southern people have been eating Southern foods since there has been a south so why now the dramatic increase in diabetes? Maybe it is not "Southern" food but fast food and other junk along with a lazy life style where people expect every thing handed to them and are looking for an easy way out.

The head lines say water woes NOW in God's hands. Who's hands were they in previously? Were they not always in God's hands and yet as a nation we do not reconize him as God until we need something. tomtom is correct, humble ourselves even to the point of turning from things His word says he is against and pleading to Him for precious rain.

Years ago when I was in the rescue squad we did fundraisers because we recieved very little from the county. It is time people worked in their area for their projects and stop the metality we can get the goverment to tax (rob) every one and give us what we want.

Adding 1 cent sales tax in a weak economy will not help them when they move. Times are tough everywhere. Good luck guy's on the new location, at least people can get to your front door.

I will be voting NO for ANY tax increases at least untill i can get another job and more likely to afford the increase. With our home and land taxes increasing by an "unknown" amount I am concerned I could be taxed to death!. Also I would be more comfortable with new taxes if someone could explain why the current rate of taxation can not pay for up keep of the roads. I hear the proponents of the increase talk about our road conditions but I understand the increase will build the new east-west connector not repair current roads and bridges.

$130,000 yearly, that is absurb. This is why they are always crying for money for the schools, too much goes to the anarchy and not enough to the classroom ie: supplies and teachers salarys.
