While I agree that prostate cancer is a serious issue, I didn't know that they had a flag for prostates. I've read about prostate flag people and about others who oppose the state flag and want to change it. What does the state flag have to do with a prostate flag? Furthermore, I want to know if there is a breast flag. Is there a lung flag? What about a uterus flag? And a skin flag? All these organs and tissues are subject to cancer, why don't they have flags, too?

Why do some people say that prostate flag people are racists? What does a prostate have to do with racism? I've read that black men are more likely than whites to have prostate problems. So does that mean that cancer is racist? Even if it is, does that make the organ's flag racist?

The best defense against prostate problems, so I've read, is an annual digital rectal exam. I've heard lots of exciting things about the "digital age" and now it seems they can measure such things with digital instruments. With such modern technology available in the fight against prostate problems, who cares if prostates have a flag? What's the big deal?

What's the big deal about this Cuban boy? The INS, the US Justice Dept. and various courts have all gotten in a tizzie about this Alien Gonzalez. It's obvious from the name they gave the boy that they wanted him to live in the US or at least in occupied Miami. But it seems such a cruel thing to do to a child just to gain him access to American citizenship. Some day he may be thankful that his mother brought him to freedom, assuming he ever escapes Miami. But on the other hand, he will bear a lifetime of mental scars from the cruel taunting of school children who are sure to ride him hard about his name. We all have our crosses to bear, but poor Alien has more than his share.

I read where the Bibb County Commission wants to stop Pio Nono comedians and frankly, I'm at a loss to know why. They say that laughter is the best medicine and those jokers on the commission should know that better than anyone. They've been providing us with laughter for years.

I've seen drunks staggering out of Whiskey River but that's only funny until they get behind the wheel of a car. I know that Pio Nono crosses a creek with a funny name----Itchy Connie---or something like that. But other than that, I'm not aware of any comedians on Pio Nono.

But that's not to say that we don't need comedians on Pio Nono. We all need a good laugh now and then. Why are the big shots suddenly picking on comedians? I must agree that it's not safe for comedians to run down the middle of Pio Nono since it's such a busy street---the comedians should stay on the shoulder. Speaking of traffic, they should do something about that road instead of bickering about a few comedians.

There's been a lot of uproar recently about gay trading. Let me be clear up front that I don't condone homosexuality and I especially don't like to see open displays of affection between same sex people. Heck, for that matter, I don't like to see anybody making out, but that's another issue. This country was founded on freedoms and I think gay people should be free to engage in legal commerce with willing buyers and sellers and that includes trading on the stock market. After all, this is America and even gays should have a few rights. I just can't fathom why people want to get violent about gay people buying and selling stocks. It's certainly not a good reason to go postal and kill a bunch of innocent people, not even stock brokers. So I say to you, what's the big deal about gay trading?
