    Humans are not primates

    Humans are not primates! You’ve heard it said that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. Humans do not look like primates. See the encyclopedia. We do not walk like primates, as they have four hands for climbing. See opposable thumbs in the encyclopedia. And we certainly don’t talk like primates.

    Rights in the way? 

    What’s different about this campaign year? Why is the city of Elizabethown sending a crew in a large vehicle around to confiscate campaign signs?

    I have lived at the same address in Elizabethtown for the past 15 years and usually have put campaign signs up in my side yard on Pear Orchard Road without incident. Is there some reason for increased concern about this campaign season by the city? By the way, as a responsible citizen, I always remove them the day after election.

    More to candidates than tax-axing

    Three candidates for Elizabethtown City Council —- Steve Atcher, Bill Bennett and Matt Wyatt —- have made it clear they oppose the city’s restaurant sales tax. But they certainly do support a Field of Dreams, if it’s done responsibly.

    Guest Columnist

Implemented by Municipal Order 22-2007, it imposes a 2 percent tax on all prepared food sold in Elizabethtown. Claims of impropriety and corruption have been hurled at the city council, the mayor’s office, the Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau and practically anyone who argues in favor of the tax.

    The more I listen to John McCain the more convinced I become that he is still fighting the Vietnam War. It seems that if he confuses Iraq and Vietnam, telling us we could have won in Vietnam and ignoring General Petraeus’ recent statements to Congress. General Petraeus stated “I can’t say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” and “this thing (Iraq war) could go either way.”
