Rainbow

Subject: The Millionaires Who Rule Us

In reference to your article 'The Rich who rule us' that I read in the Athens (GA) Banner-Herald: I have nothing against people becoming rich and enjoying life. We all want to security and health yet these objects of want for many people are becoming like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...not real.

This is a great country but Americans are slow to understand the outcome of the continued way this country is going. Like boiling a frog, you put a frog in cold water and slowly heat up the water and over time the frog will become cooked. The American public is slowly being boiled and before anybody knows it there will be a corporation Bill of Rights taking the place of the Peoples Bill of Rights.

Thank you and please continue to shine the light into the darkness.

Morality

Subject: Kids Today Don't Stand a Chance

I agree with you 100% in your recent commentary, "Kids today don't stand a chance." As a parent of a preteen, I am deeply troubled about the advertisements, celebrities, TV shows, music lyrics, and books promoting sex to young people. It doesn't help when I am standing in the check out line at the grocery store with my twelve year old and she is looking at all of the lewd subtitles of teen fashion magazines. It appears we have lost all sense of morality. If something is not done soon to counteract the negative influences in our culture, I'm scared we could lose a generation of young people to the ways of the world. My sincere thanks for bringing this problem to everyone's attention.
