Lack of bus caution

Dear Editor,

Can someone please explain to me exactly when a stop sign became a suggestion?

In today’s age the sign barely serves a purpose especially to those who we trust to transport our children to and from school!

Yes, I truly believe that school bus drivers think that they are above the law and if you do not trust what I am saying to be true, meet me on any given day at Warren Area High School at 3:10 p.m. to see for yourself. I have witnessed a convoy of school buses basically everyday drive and accelerate through the stop sign, and a crosswalk with students on both sides paying no attention to the students safety!

When does this end? When it’s too late? Does a child have to get injured to get someone’s attention? This has been going on for a while now.

Last year I complained to the Warren County School District safety and transportation office, Warren County Sheriff’s office and to the high school itself. I am not saying that nothing was done, but I assure you absolutely nothing has changed with the school bus drivers there.

Vote your values

Dear Editor,

As I look at what is transpiring in our nation and look back at our history, I cannot find a time with such a “Great Divide” amongst the people, either before or after the Civil War as there is now.

As at the time of the Civil War there is a Leviathan spirit that has arisen, it has been influencing and provoking division and hatred. It has taken several decades, but gradually our nation has turned away from many of our founding principles and values.Our nation’s value system has descended down a pathway of immorality into a cesspool of sin.

Looking at the policies of the opposing view, there is clearly a divide that can be classified as good vs evil, moral vs immoral depending on what one’s value system is based on.

One side is pro-life (rights of the unborn child); traditional marriage (one man, one woman); a person’s gender is assigned at conception (by the creator of all things, Elohim); enforce the immigration laws; increase the production of energy, returning to energy independence (curbing runaway inflation); climate change agenda (continue common sense approach to environmental issues); only those born as females may participate in woman’s (girls) sports.

The other side is pro-abortion (some promote abortion up until the time of birth); approve of homosexual marriage (man to man, woman to woman normal); that a person’s gender can be physically or sociologically altered (individuals can select their gender); allow open borders to allow open immigration (disregard all immigration laws and provide full governmental benefits those entering); ban all fossil fuels for electrical supply and transportation requirements (depending primarily on water, wind and solar energy to supply all electrical and transportation needs, regardless of cost or efficiency); aggressive action on environmental issues (regardless of economic or social impact to nations populace); anybody that calls themselves a female may participate in women’s sports.

If you are a Christian, proclaiming to have Christian values, looking at these two differing sets of polices by comparing them to the Word of God…? There are two distinct areas of sin to be examined, first our personal sin and secondly, the corporate or national sin that effects this nation.

Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” How many Christians are feeding on the whole word of God or treating it as a smorgasbord…? Bible says in 1st Corinthians 13:6, “Love rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.”

How do each of these policies lineup with the, “Truth of God’s Word…? Smoking or non-smoking the choice is yours.

Smoke, but no fire

Dear Editor,

Except for an occasional cigar at camp, I do not use tobacco products. What is the philosophical logic to outlaw smoking in city parks? Is chewing tobacco and spitting the juice onto the ground in city parks the next prohibition?

What about dogs that pee on the grass? Or, for that matter, children and adults who spit on the ground.

Let’s see, or shall we outlaw having a smoke while driving in our car while driving through Warren? What is happening?
