I see we're going to have to pay $5 extra so that people with low incomes can have their cars fixed. I have two suggestions. 1. Why don't we just add another $5 and supply them with free gas? 2. I wonder, whose relations are going to do the work? I mean relations of our governors and our senators. That would be a good question to get an answer for.

Dogs, dogs, dogs. It's time that Las Vegas got some stricter rules and regulations about people who leave their dogs in the back yard all day while they are at work or on vacation or just off for the weekend. It's time that we had some peace and quiet.

There was an article in the paper saying they were going to reduce the requirements for high school graduation and give them credit in junior high. There shouldn't be credit in junior high because they're not learning the technical stuff they're going to learn in high school. They should not reduce the requirements. What they should do is give a test that was given in the late '50s, early '60s, as tough as that test with the new knowledge included and see where the kids come out. My son's going to be a senior and he has something like four electives this year, nothing required. There should be four years of P.E. and not so many electives.

The little boy who wrote in the cement should have to paint over graffiti, clean a park, do some kind of work for the city as his punishment.

Did you know that if you flunk three years of junior high, you will still be allowed in high school and that the grammar schools feel that keeping a child back is bad on their record? They don't like to do that even though the child needs it. They will pass the child on to the next grade. And we wonder why we have people in high school that aren't getting a good education. I think we should be tougher on them. Look at the rest of the world. Look at Japan, how their children study. They go to school before they go into a preschool so they can get into a good preschool. And we let our children just float.

It doesn't seem to matter how many lanes of travel there are. There's always some moron sitting in the right-hand lane that's going straight blocking all the other ones behind him that want to turn right.
