Caring people
“I too want to thank the Gazette for the publication Spirit. It is so good to let everyone know about the caring people of Tifton.”
Tom trivia
“Concerning the article about Tom Mark on Tom Call, it should also be noted that Tom thinks nothing of riding his motorcycle over 1,000 miles in a day and that he also owns the only Ducati motorcycle in the county. This is an Italian sport bike that few bikers have the ability to ride well.”
No divided allegiance
“This is what Teddy Roosevelt wrote about being an American in 1907: ‘In the first place, we should insist that the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us. He shall be treated as an exact equal with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, birthplace or origin. But, it is predicted upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also isn’t an American at all. We have room but for one flag, the American flag…”
Look out for us
“I think that President Vicente Fox Quesada of Mexico is doing a wonderful job looking out for the interest of his people and his country. I wish that President Bush could do the same for the United States of America, the citizens of the U.S. …Homeland security is a joke. We can’t even control our own borders.”
The best choice
“This is in reference to the comment made about the cheerleading coaches. Just as all the other athletic teams such as the football and baseball teams are picked by in-town coaches that watch them through the practices, I feel like it should be the same for the cheerleading. They pick the cheerleaders that they feel will represent the team the best.”
Perfect decorations
“I would like to Rave about the Tifton Mall always being decorated for every holiday. The decorations are always pretty and perfect and I think Vicki McKeller needs a bunch of thanks for doing a great job.”
Good service, good tip
“I don’t know about others. I tip well when I get a good server. If the server isn’t good then why leave her/him a tip? I have been to places where I get good servers. I’ve also been to places that all they care about is themselves and that smoking break.”
You too
“Just want to know why people of new generations complain about immigration. USA is made completely of just immigrants. If you tell somebody to go back to their country, you should do the same.”
Hurry back
“This is both a rave for how great a restaurant Applebees is and a rant for how long it is taking them to reopen. Tifton misses them.”
