Ballplayers are no heroes
How dare Andy Walters (Aug. 23 letter, "Baseball players are heroes") even think that baseball players rank up there with the courageous New York City firefighters? They in no way compare. Jessica Flynn, Augusta

Strike Iraq first, then pray
Regarding preemptive strikes against Iraq, I don't think I was the only one praying during World War II. I dropped bombs on Germany three times, and I prayed not to kill anyone but just to drop those bombs where they would help to end the war and allow us to be victorious. Harry Oliphant, Hephzibah, Ga.

Barrett a conservative gentleman
I'm proud to support Gresham Barrett in his campaign to succeed Rep. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as our next GOP congressman in South Carolina's Third Congressional District. Rachel Meehan, Aiken, S.C.

NCWO should focus on the positive to advance its agenda
Regarding the National Council of Women's Organizations putting pressure on the Augusta National Golf Club to invite a woman to become a member: The obvious first statement is, "This is a 'private' club." Gary Davis, Augusta

Clan is canned
A couple of weeks after Atlanta area Democrats voted Cynthia McKinney out of the U.S. House of Representatives, a post she held for 10 years, they also booted her father, Billy McKinney, from the state House of Representatives, a post he held for three decades.

Long, short of love
On the surface, it seems awfully contrived, this "speed dating" phenomenon, where singles pay a fee to audition each other in truncated, one-on-one interviews for possible dates.

Football weight limit unfair
This is about a rule in our Columbia County Recreation Department that discriminates against our children. This rule is the weight limit the recreation department has for playing football. This rule states that if you weigh over a certain weight, you can't play football. Randy Turner, Appling, Ga.

Bush's moral case
The central theme of President George W. Bush's historic speech at the United Nations Thursday is summed up in the following excerpt:

A plea to the mayor to lure business
Has it taken Mayor Bob Young all this time in office to finally find out that some Augusta commissioners have been voting to impede progress? We, the voters, knew that all along. Jim Stringer, Augusta

Tax cuts are bad for the economy
Those people who are ignorant of the past are doomed to repeat it. This famous axiom applies to our current leaders, the intellectual lightweights who passed the recent irresponsible tax reduction. Mark Gelbart, Augusta

Humans have never been apes
I just read Doug Weaver's Aug. 29 letter, "Evolution is a theory for quacks." He is really good, and it's refreshing to have it explained so that even children can understand that evolution, as Mr. Weaver says, is for quacks. Marynell Chason, Grovetown, Ga.
