Sound Off for August 11, 2016

Acts of principle

I respect Sanders and Cruz for doing what their consciences said. Each was correct in his decision.

That time again ... already

Joy. Joy. Schools are back in session and I have to fight the ridiculous traffic headed to Northside High while also maneuvering around the road construction work. Could we have a shortened school year, please?

Either bet wins

Who do you think is the biggest liar? Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? My money is on both of them.

Unstable

The GOP voters should get Trump a psychiatrist, a couch and some medication. I'm from Georgia and I know crazy when I see crazy.

Relevant details

The article on the shooting at the University of Texas 50 years ago did not mention that two people stopped the attack. One was a police officer and the other an armed citizen.

No trickle-up effect

It’s hard to watch the Olympics knowing that up on those mountains people are living in squalor. And I have a feeling that the revenue the Olympics make for Rio won’t benefit those people.

Nothing personal ...

I’m not afraid of death. I just don’t want to be there at the time.
