Haiti had a real bad disaster and people are suffering and do not have the bare necessities of life. But one thing really bothers me.
Meet ‘Mad as Hell Party’
The Supreme Court recently gave business the near-unlimited right to make contributions to political candidates. Since Republicans are the party traditionally most identified with business interests, Republicans are widely seen as the primary beneficiary.

Vote to settle gambling issue
I never cease to be amazed at politics concerning gambling in Alabama. First, David Barber, head of the state’s anti-gambling task force, resigned after being caught gambling and winning thousands in Mississippi. Now, his replacement, John Tyson, has been exposed for taking thousands of dollars from gambling sources. Will he resign?

Marijuana nonsense
Tonya Curvin wrote in her recent Speak Out letter to The Star, “There are other ways to live a painful life without drugs: Therapists, chiropractors, counselors, pastors and exercises are examples. It’s also sad to say, but some chronic pain sufferers got hurt under the influence of drugs and that’s why they are now in chronic pain.”

Prayers for Randy Owen?
I am quite certain that country music star Randy Owen appreciates all prayers offered up on his behalf. However, the odd thing about these prayers would be the supposed purpose of such as it relates to geography.

I have known House District 40 candidate K.L. Brown for 35 years; we share the same profession, a profession built around service.

United States of convicts
Approximately seven out of every 1,000 people in the United States today are behind bars. That’s more than any other country in the world.

To choose or not to choose
I read writer Robert Collins’ letter on free will in The Star, and I believe his interpretation of Isaiah 45:7 is a bit off the mark.

I would like to thank all of the folks who showed up at Janney Furnace Park in Ohatchee for Robert E. Lee’s birthday celebration in January. In spite of the inclement weather, it was the largest crowd we have ever had for this great American’s birthday.

Advocates of gambling in Alabama have launched a campaign of misinformation and myths in order to legalize gambling. One of these myths is that “gambling should be made legal if some of the money from it is used for good purposes.”

I’m not sure how Republicans see themselves these days. I thought they were supposed to be the pro-business party of fiscal responsibility and lower taxes. Sometimes I still hear those principles being espoused, amidst the shouting of the tea baggers.

The late state Rep. Lea Fite was a grocery store owner who understood how much it matters to be able to put nutritious food on your family’s table. That explains why he was a strong supporter of taking the state sales tax off food.

Medical marijuana is a popular issue. A recent ABC/Washington Post poll showed that “81 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana for medical use,” and state medical marijuana initiatives have been repeatedly endorsed by voters.

I want to clarify the record in regards to a Jan. 28 story in The Star, “UA professor defends claims about Oxford mound,” that discussed my credentials without mentioning the credentials I do have.
