Helpful government
Government from local to national is deciding what is "best" for us. California wants to put remote control thermostats in homes because the government knows best. California has decided that children cannot be home schooled unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best. Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that fat people (as defined by the state) cannot be served in restaurants because the government knows best. Texas tells people they cannot play eight liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best. The United States government tells us what time it is because the government knows best.
I'm tired of the government telling me what is best. I want to return to the days when I was allowed to decide for myself what is best.

The Advocate should be ashamed of itself
Where did the Advocate get that disgusting cartoon for the editorial page today (23 June)? We can have all the oil that washes up on the beach for free...This is an outrage. Texas beaches may not be the cleanest in the world, but, it isn't because of off-shore drilling. I see all sorts of litter and trash left by people who go to the beach, but, I have never stepped into oil from an off-shore well. 2 comments from 2 users

If you have never stepped in oil on the coast; you must not have been here very long! Hotel's rugs and linens have been ruined at times down in Corpus Christi by tourist traking the stuff in.
