Comment on You Can be Replaced

Leanne Serrato — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 16:24:00 GMT

I agree with that completely. This "problem" on the entitlement feeling that the right constantly complains about can be see in elected officials and corporate bigwigs. They forget that they also are replaceable and should be often. One of the things that I see that led to the Wall Street debacle is this feeling that big money retains great employees. That is utter horse manure. Big money retains people after big money. True character shows when people do important jobs for little pay. It shows what their priories are and where there heart is. I'm not naive so I'm not suggesting that CEO's shouldn't make "good money" but in my estimation NO ONE, not athletes or movie stars deserves to make millions of dollars a year. Because these roles are not any more important that the role a teacher or fireman play in society. So we are all replaceable and the sooner we remember that the better we will do in the jobs we have.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about welfare. The Job Development Agency requires every able bodied person to work. Out of time. bye.

Comment on Do Qualifications Matter

Of course qualifications do matter. I'm positive you'd agree that the McCain/Palin ticket is much more qualified. What has Obama done? Oh yeah, he gave a speech in 2002. Now that's impressive! So, I'm wondering why your article doesn't discuss qualification of either party? Did you see the title of your post?

Reply: The column was a lament to the fact that it appears that qualifications don't matter to most people but image does. Both tickets have a qualified and non-qualified person on them. Do you really think that most people care about qualifications? If they did then Clinton and Romney would both be on their respective tickets.

Thank you for your comment, please write again.

Comment on Orleans County in the Dark of Night

Thom,

Just look at the Middleport Drive-In. On a Friday night you can go there and the place is packed. And that is less than a mile away from the county line. No kidding.

I don't know if a movie theater would be the answer, but what if we had something like Skateland in Lockport? Worth a try. Could be a big flop. But it also could be a great investment for our community.
