TODAY'S OPINIONS

Keeping mind on real taskLots of folks are getting a head start today on the Independence Day weekend festivities. There are backyard barbecues to plan and buy provisions for, and you need to fine-tune the planning process to include time out for watching fireworks displays.
Slowing down the big rigsEver been on the freeway, going the speed limit, and glance into your rearview mirror to see only the grill of tractor-trailer semi? Who hasn’t had such a frightening vision?
The need for independenceOur Declaration of Independence, signed on July 4, 1776, created the United States of America, stating “it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish.”

CITIZEN COMMENTARY |

Just letting the kids play Isn’t it strange that no one offers an opinion on how to teach history, math, English, etc., but everyone thinks they know more than a coach. I have seen it time and time again. Parents who don’t think their child was played often enough, parents who think their child played too much, parents who think their child played the wrong position, and on and on. Sports would be much more enjoyable for everyone, if the parents would just butt out. Nancy Andersen/Santa Maria
