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.

Advocate comics
Okay, I read the proposed comics this morning. With the exception of Luann, I had never heard of any of them. Were these actually the most recomended strips by your readers in the poll? About the best that I can say for most of them is that they make Mutts look good. I didn't think THAT was possible. Sigh...Oh, well, I can still read the Chronicle comics on-line.

My first choice to delete from amoung present comics is Mutts. I have read it each day during the trial peroid and found one I could almost enjoy. Please bring back Garfield and drop Mutts. I don't know how to mark my "ballot" . I do prefer Frazz and choose Pearls before Swine to the other listed.

I for one am really happy with the new comics! I lobbied for F Minus, Get Fuzzy, and Baldo (among others.) Get Fuzzy and F Minus make me laugh out loud! I do wish Dilbert would stay - get rid of the unfunny Blondie instead!

I don't think there has been any new Calvin and Hobbes in a long time but keep those books because they are worth something. The creator of Calvin and Hobbes was not into the commercialization of his comic strip. He could have made millions of dollars more if he had been probably. Those window decals you see on automobiles are not authorized by him!

I'm a huge fan of Dilbert. Calvin and Hobbes has been a favorite for many years, but, I think, the author has retired. I have a couple of collection books of Calvin and his little buddy, and I wouldn't take anything for them -- well, make an offer; everything's for sale at some price. If I'm wrong about the author of Calvin and Hobbes being retired, I'm sorry, but I think he's living off his residuals.
