MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -
In
response to our editorial suggesting that the new TSA policy allowing some
knives on airplanes should be reversed, we had these comments:
"There's
no legitimate reason to NOT allow pocket knives on a plane… 18" knitting
needles are allowed and the airline union isn't complaining about that."
Another viewer wrote:
"A pencil is more dangerous. Why not ban them?"
To our editorial saying that there is still evidence that the Voting Rights Act
must continue, one viewer wrote:
"The law was unconstitutional when it was
passed… and is now an embarrassment to a nation… that requires all citizens to
be treated equally, including those who happen to live in areas whose distant
past includes horrendous practices."
Our
editorial saying that the sequestration would push Alabama schools closer to
the edge of a scholastic cliff brought this comment:
"Sequester? Bring it on. Obama's scare tactics
have caused this ‘sky is falling' hysteria… It is time for the
spending problem and debt to come to a head and perhaps some resolution."
And
in response to our editorial suggesting that lawmakers should put gambling on
the ballot and end this bingo controversy once and for all we had these
responses:
"How many times must we ‘once and for
all?' Alabama has voted against gambling time and time again, and have
voted gambling down."
Another
viewer wrote…
"It shouldn't be up to the government OR the
people. The freedom to gamble or not is an individual choice that does not
infringe on the rights of others and therefore, should never be legislated, for
or against."
As
always, we appreciate your comments.
