Speakout 8/10

Take care of our own

I agree with Michael Jensen on the foreign trade. Most of these foreign countries have our jobs that we used to have in the good ole USA. And now they are trying to poison us by putting stuff in our toothpaste. They are putting lead paint in Fisher Price toys. That's what goes on when we try to help other countries out. We need to stay over here and take care of our own affairs and our own business. We need to keep our jobs over here so people don't lose their homes, their automobiles. Furthermore, my husband saw an American flag that was made over in China. That's pretty good when your American flags are made over in China. They should be made over here. I agree with Mr. Jensen all the way.

I'm getting tired of hearing about these old people not retiring. These old people are spending all of our Social Security so we can't ever retire when we get 65, 85 or 105.

Everybody over 65 that isn't retired needs to go visit Dick Cheney.

Well, it finally happened. After you have 148 convicted felons sit down and refuse to do anything the correctional staff tells them to do, and eight officers and other staff get sent out in ambulances from a level 5 institution in less than a week, Jefferson City finally sends someone down to investigate. The honor camp for convicted murderers, rapists and child molesters got thrown in the trash when officers from central office showed up. Thankfully they started to make new changes, but it was nothing to do with the administration at Southeast Correctional Center. Thank you for the help.

I know a friend that's working for a health care out of Puxico, but they have the same health care out of Sikeston. But the one in Sikeston is only for nurses to have the meeting to go to. The company should let the homemakers go to Sikeston too, instead of going to Puxico. Gas is not cheap! No wonder people are dropping out of the company. Puxico is just too far to go when all the workers could go to Sikeston. They don't have to have the nurses and homemakers meetings at the same time.

This is to the city leaders. The beautification of the city looks and is great, but there are things that are hidden that would benefit even more. That is our old and worn-out water and sewer lines. We have new lines from our home out, new commodes and you know what? We have rusty water often. It really messes up our commodes, stains our sinks and even ruins our clothing in the wash water. Well, they are hidden from up above, but believe me they need tending to in the worst way.

I'm calling in answer to Justice isn't just. Judgment without mercy. It's a wonder some of these judges haven't grown horns. Maybe they have. We live in a sad world.
