I'm a white male and I live here in southeast Missouri. I think it's very, very wrong how about Michael Vick is being put in prison and all these bad comments about him, him being famous, rich and black. We've got three white guys that are more or less doing the same thing, fighting dogs for money, and I will guarantee you these three white males will walk free or have a $100 fine. Michael Vick will have to pull out a million dollars to take care of 54 dogs. This is wrong. I'm an animal lover, but this is not right. It stinks! I feel sorry for Michael Vick and his family. I think the man is guilty, but I don't think he should go to jail. I think he should have a three or four year probation. I think because he's a millionaire he should be fined more than the lower class people. I think that should be it.

I find it puzzling that you can go to Food Giant and write a check when you buy groceries. You have to have identification now under the new rules that the Scott County Prosecuting Attorney has for writing a check. Today I did that at Food Giant and also produced my ID. Previous to that, I had went to a Slkeston bank and made a $500 withdrawal from my savings account, walked in with my passbook, the girl processed the withdrawal. She didn't ask for any ID or anything. I had only been in that bank one time before, and that was about four months ago when I opened the account. How did she know that I was not a burglar that broke into somebody's house and found their passbook? Don't you find that disturbing?

What does it take to get it through you people's thick heads, Governor Blunt has nothing to do with cutting Medicare. That is a federal government program and it is Congress that has all the control over it. Medicare is a hospitalization plan, it's a medical insurance. That has nothing to do with somebody having a good Thanksgiving.

I would like to speak out regarding the article in SpeakOut about the bugs, the humpback bugs. I have those things and I would like to know how you get rid of them.

I'm calling to try to find the lady who called me the other day and wanted a puppy. I still have a few left. They will be small and not big dogs. Give me a call back at 667-5954.
