Vox Pop
What's going on in this town? Why aren't there crossing arms at every railroad crossing? Does someone have to die in these accidents that are happening in order for action to be taken? I don't care if these railroad crossings are out in the middle of nowhere, crossing arms should be installed at every railroad crossing.
Voters can choose life or choose death
We hear about how Sen. John Kerry takes both sides of an issue; first for and then against. The abortion issue is no different. He wants us to believe he's pro-life when he says he believes life begins at conception. But that's not the way he votes.
What is George W. supposed to do?
In an orchard there is a long time lag between planting and harvesting and with good luck the harvest will go on for years. The same is true with government policies. In the eight years of President Reagan and the four years of President Bush, the elder, they started a lot of good policies and tax reforms that would produce results in the coming years. Our economy was in good shape, unemployment was low and those who wanted to work prospered. Then came Clinton. He rode this swelling tide of prosperity and his popularity skyrocketed. During this time he implemented policies of his own. He cut our military budget saving our taxpayers billions of dollars. It didn't matter to the euphoric benefactors of his policies that the money that they had been given came at the expense of the service that protects the United States. This lack of military preparedness gave the terrorists the courage to attack us on Sept. 11. On Sept 4, 1993 he signed NAFTA into law. Ross Perot asked at that time " do you hear that giant sucking sound? It is our jobs going south". The Clinton administration raised taxes on employers; it didn't matter that a lot of businesses went south to take advantage of these new opportunities. Now the liberals are blaming President Bush for the loss of jobs.

OUR OPINION: FLAG BURNING
The Brainerd-Baxter area is known for its huge Fourth of July celebration with spectacular fireworks and a crowd-pleasing parade. It's an attraction that draws holiday visitors from all over the state. Yet one of the most moving moments of the parade is a quiet moment.
Zell Miller's day in the sun
Georgia's Zell Miller is a former governor filling out the U.S. Senate term of the late Paul Coverdell, who died in 2000. As far as power goes in the Senate, especially for a minority Democrat, that is the equivalent of being a fraternity pledge. Or a summer intern. And Miller, at 72, isn't planning to run again. But by deciding he's a Republican at heart, and putting that heart at the service of President Bush, Miller got to be a national star for a night.

How close is too close when you're on the lake fishing?
I've never been too big on fishing near other anglers, and I've never been big on other anglers fishing on top of me either. I've become a little more tolerable over the years, but crowding on the water still really annoys me. Sure, I realize that nobody owns the lakes, but there are a few unwritten rules that should be followed.
