Sound Off for Tuesday, March 15, 2016

Divine hand

God bless America, God bless Georgia, God Bless Columbus, God bless Fort Benning, God blast Sound Off.

Safer course

Sound Off represents a non-violent way of expressing an opinion without fear of retribution — as opposed to attending a Trump rally.

Be warned

Why don't you write something positive about Donald Trump for a change? I am tempted to cancel the newspaper. This state voted for him. I will be watching.

Mismath

The biggest joke in Columbus is the idiotic council being told operating the Aquatic Center for 89 hours weekly costs $1.2 million, but these stubborn clowns insist on $850,000.

The word is out

CSU now attracts students from every county in Georgia. Remember when UGA did that?

Better for the metaphor

Ms. Tomlinson says she is not for “lifting” the tax freeze; rather, she is for “thawing” the tax freeze. Nice play on words, mayor.

Worth reading

Sound off with thoughtful comments. Think before you write. Offer substance beneficial to the readers.

Of a pattern

It's no surprise that the wacky woman who brought a huge sign with a swastika to a Trump rally also accuses American police and soldiers of routinely murdering children.
